    Abstract:
    This essay discusses the arrogance of white supremacy through the lens of the tradition of musar, the Jewish ethical tradition focused on cultivating virtues and resisting vices. I consider ways in which musar traditions might or might not be helpful in the work of challenging and dismantling unjust systems.
