Editing Musar movement (section)

== After World War II ==

Many of the Jews involved in the Musar movement were killed in the [[Holocaust]]. Hillel Goldberg has written that it was only before World War II that Musar was "still a living community."<ref>Hillel Goldberg, ''Israel Salanter: Text, Structure, Idea'', page 324</ref>

Some students of the Musar movement, however, settled in the land of Israel and established Musar yeshivas there.{{Citation needed|date=July 2013}}

While many former students of the Musar movement settled in the United States and were involved in a variety of Jewish institutions, they established few formal institutions dedicated to Musar during the 20th century.<ref name="auto">Geoffrey Claussen, [http://iasc-culture.org/THR/THR_article_2010_Summer_Claussen.php "The American Jewish Revival of Musar"], ''Hedgehog Review'' 12, no. 2 (2010): 63-72</ref>

Many traditional yeshivas throughout the world, however, continued to allot some time during the week for Musar, and this continues today.<ref>{{cite news|last=Ellenson|first=Ruth Andrew|title=An Assimilated Jew's Connection With an Old Tradition|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/111127325.html?dids=111127325:111127325&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+23%2C+2002&author=RUTH+ANDREW+ELLENSON&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=Religion%3B+BOOK+REVIEW%3B+An+Assimilated+Jew%27s+Connection+With+an+Old+Tradition%3B+%22CLIMBING+JACOB%27S+LADDER%22+By+Alan+Morinis%3B+Broadway%2C+226+pages%2C+%2423.95&pqatl=google|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130312151312/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/111127325.html?dids=111127325:111127325&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+23%2C+2002&author=RUTH+ANDREW+ELLENSON&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=Religion%3B+BOOK+REVIEW%3B+An+Assimilated+Jew%27s+Connection+With+an+Old+Tradition%3B+%22CLIMBING+JACOB%27S+LADDER%22+By+Alan+Morinis%3B+Broadway%2C+226+pages%2C+%2423.95&pqatl=google|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 12, 2013|access-date=10 January 2011|newspaper=[[The Los Angeles Times]]|date=23 March 2002}}</ref> This time is often dedicated to the study of [[Musar literature]].
