When is Mussar bad, foolish, ineffective, and a waste of time? ❦ Mussar Conversation #15

START HERE: https://mussar.center Mussar is only mentioned once in the Torah but it's a disturbing text - the generation of the Exodus saw God's miracles and his mussar but it wasn't enough and they still died in the desert. Why didn't their experience of Mussar work? The Bible also warns that Mussar can be bad, foolish, and a waste of time. How can that even be? What makes the difference? Let's look at these problematic texts and see if we can't figure it out. But be warned - the answer may be troubling.

P.S. It's been five lessons! If everyone donates a dollar a lesson we'll be able to keep teaching for free. Please do what you think everyone else should do and send in a little something right now: https://mussar.center Thank you!
