Menschwork, a spiritual brotherhood of Jewish men, announces the launch of its second Mensch Day program.
The Greater Boston Mensch Day is being locally sponsored by the TBZ men’s group. All Jewish men from throughout Greater Boston are invited to attend and are encouraged to bring friends and family to join them. Mensch Day is an inspirational program designed to encourage Jewish men to experience and explore what it means to be a mensch and do the “right” thing in today’s world.
Based on the Yiddish concept of menschlichkeit (which means “humanity”), a mensch treats people with empathy and compassion, exemplifying the mitzvah of loving your neighbor and treating others as you’d like to be treated.
The Mensch Day program is modeled after the Jewish Men’s Retreat (JMR), a gathering of Jewish men that’s taken place annually in the Northeast for 32 years. As they do at the JMR, men who attend Mensch Day will meet in small groups where they can hone their listening skills and share personal stories about their aspirations of becoming a mensch.
There will be opportunities for drumming, community singing, and a drash on the meaning of menschlichkeit by Reb Moshe Waldoks, rabbi emeritus of TBZ. In addition, the program will feature experiential breakout sessions ranging from meditation to Mussar. Themes of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and gemilut chasidim (acts of lovingkindness) will be explored, including a panel presentation featuring four men whose personal life experiences exemplify “Mensches in Action.”
