Chanoch L’Naar is a school-based character development program based in Mussar, the area of Jewish thought and practice dedicated to spiritual and moral development. It was launched at the Gann Academy in Waltham, MA by Rabbi Marc Baker and Rabbi David Jaffe. The program engages leadership teams (heads of school, principals, department chairs, finance directors, admissions directors, development directors) to explore spiritual and ethical texts to build a shared conception and language that will influence leadership behaviors.
