Give musar
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Musar literature. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2019. |
The Jewish prayer book includes the saying each morning of:[1]
- "Hear, my child, the discipline (MuSar) of your father, and do not forsake the teachings of your mother."
Giving musar is meant to help mold lives.[2]
There are timing and other aspects to the giving of musar: what to say, to whom, and when (how often).[3][4][5]
Formal lectures, known as a musar shiur[6] are part of yeshiva curriculum.[7]
There are many Jewish works on the subject, and not all agree on the details.
One suggestion from the late Rabbi Yisroel Belsky is that when there is a need to give musar to a friend: "Give musar as a friend."[8]
Some musar is on topics that are a major part of everyday life, such as consoling mourners and visiting the sick.[9]
Conversational use[edit]
An example of using the phrase in conversation is:
- "... but my intention is not to give musar (ethical/moral/religious reproof)."[10]
