This initiative was novel and in all honesty, we were unsure as to the appropriate format, subject and general approach.  \nIt is with tremendous gratitude to the Almighty that we can now look back on season one and feel the incredible guidance from above of these sessions. Remarkably, over one thousand participants have used these resources to add depth and meaning to their weekly conversations, and the sessions have been translated into Hebrew, Russian, French and Spanish.  \nOur thanks goes out to you foryour time and effort that you have so selflessly shared with us.  \nWe are excited to present season 2 of mentorship which will focus on character development. I vividly remember lecturing to a fairly large group of college students from America’s top universities and asking them ifthey can recall a single time in their 14-15 years of education that an educator even referenced the topic of working on one’s character. The overwhelming majority of students could not recall a single moment in their entire educational life that this was ever mentioned.  \nIt is worthwhile to contrast this with the Mishna Berura (a book of Jewish Law) writes: A person is required to learn mussar (ethics) and focus on character refinement each and every day.  \nWe are excited to share sources, ideas and exercises to share the journey of character refinement with your mentor/mentee with the hope that the two of you will be enriched in the process.  \nPlease note that as we indicated during season one, these resources are available for you ifyou elect to use them. Ifyou and your mentee have discussed and agreed upon alternative topics or resources, we encourage you to embrace your personal decision and wish you much hatzlacha.  \nThank you so much for being part of this global movement that is connecting individuals dedicated to growth in an unprecedented way.  \nREMINDERS:  \n Check-in: How was your week?  \n Journaling: The journal is a space to track progress and growth throughout this journey.  \n Set a time for your next meeting.  \nIntro  \nWelcome to the world of tikkun hamiddos/character development and repair. It is fascinating to note that each of us is born with an absolutely unique inner-composition. Some anger easily and at the same time calm quickly. Others are slow to anger, yet on the rare occasion that they are enraged it takes forever to regain equilibrium. Some people are industrious and hard-working by nature, while others, ifgiven the choice, would spend endless days and weeks curled up on a comfortable sofa. It seems like certain individuals are born with a healthy dose of selfconfidence that often borders on hubris, while others constantly struggle with self-confidence and assertiveness.  \nYet, unlike so much of the world around us, Judaism is not ok with statements like “well that's just who I am” or “you are who you are”. On the contrary Judaism mandates every individual to take a hard look at “who Iam” and then spend a lifetime correcting and fine-tuning their character until they have attained character equilibrium.  \nThe task of perfecting one’s character is called “Tikkun Hamidos” and learning about character development is referred to as “Mussar”. King Solomon writes in Proverbs; “Hold fast to character refinement; do not let go;  \nKeep it; it is your life.” The Vilna Gaon explains that the entire purpose of our existence is to overcome our negative character traits.  \nImagine for a moment, the upside of ironing out the kinks in our personality traits. Imagine being so real and honest with ourselves that arrogance is not even a thing. Imagine regaining self-control and reigning in anger. Imagine a life of generosity, and the feeling of fulfillment that follows. Imagine being content with who we are and what we have and living ajealous-free life!  \nWorking on one’s cha","cbCairvb1B9ZNedw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairvb1B9ZNedw","pdf",13975078,13,"English","# SEASON 2\n## SESSION 1: INTRODUCTION\n## REMINDERS\n## Intro\n## PART1: THE IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT\n## PART2: CHARACTER TRAITS; THEY ARE YOUR LIFE!","[{\"question\":\"What tools and routines does the session recommend for mentees and mentors?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends weekly check-ins, journaling to track progress, and setting a time for the next meeting to continue the character refinement journey together.\"}]","Olami Mentorship Session - Season 2 - Session 1 - Introduction - Character Development | PDF",1787717707,33]
