The Making of a Mensch

A New Cloud Film from the Let It Ripple Film Series.
This new 11 minute film and accompanying discussion kit take the science we explored in our film The Science of Character and reframes it through the lens of the ancient Jewish teachings of Mussar. The film and discussion materials are an opportunity to revitalize these teachings around character development that date back to the 10th century, and reengage us all in how these Jewish tools are applicable to our 21st century lives.
Directed by Emmy-nominated team including Director @tiffanyshlain
Written by Tiffany Shlain, Sawyer Steele, & @Ken_Goldberg
Edited by Tiffany Shlain & Sawyer Steele
Animated by Raquel Sancinetti

Yasha koach (well done). Great video I've always liked the defintion of musar as holiness for busy people and although drawn to hassidut myself their is a lot to learn from and love in the traditions of musar and in many ways they're more easy to access especially now that there is a resurgence in it.

Mensch, german word for human, person. Meaning of a thinking being. Developed from the word/name Mannus. In german mythologie the first son of Tuisto the first human being (in mythologie it must be a god😬). Tuisto was both man and wife ..... To me it is a different version from Adam. Adam as man and Chawa weithin. Than Mannus would be Shem ..... Crazy? May be and possible too😁 Shem was a good one - so we should know what to do ..... Be a Mensch and allways be You and become your better version. Blessings and Greetings from Germany

That's fascinating.

IMHO, either one enters a relationship with musar, or don't bother.
