What is “CULTIVATING HUMILITY: Understanding your place in the world” about?
Humility (Anivut in Hebrew) is considered to be one of the most essential character traits to cultivate. Its opposite, arrogance, is considered to be one of the most abhorrent. Our sages have taught that many other positive character traits are related to and dependent on humility. Moses, the greatest prophet, was described by God as the most humble person in the world. Humility is not the negation of your strengths and talents – but the recognition that these are gifts given to us by the Almighty. This session will explore Torah teachings dealing with humility and ways in which we can strive to grow in this vital trait.
