Geoffrey D. Claussen, "Musar in a White Supremacist Society: Arrogance, Self-Examination, and Systemic Change,” in No Time for Neutrality: American Rabbinic Voices from an Era of Upheaval, ed. Michael Rose Knopf and Miriam Aniel (2021), 352–368.
This essay considers ways in which musar traditions may or may not be helpful in the work of challenging and dismantling unjust systems. It appears in No Time for Neutrality: American Rabbinic Voices from an Era of Upheaval, a compilation of rabbinic writings from 2016-2021. The volume is available for purchase here, with proceeds supporting HIAS and T'ruah. My essay is also online at Humanities Commons and Academia.edu.
