“Who is rich? One who is happy with their portion.” Pirkei Avot, 4:1. Voluntary simplicity is a global movement that encourages a lifestyle focused on the concept of enoughness as opposed to consumerism. This session will explore Jewish texts on wealth and illustrate the Jewish roots and values behind this modern movement. Participants will have the opportunity to explore voluntary simplicity as a spiritual practice and will come away from the session with concrete strategies for becoming happier with their portion.
