Founder of The Mussar Institute is coming to the UK!
We are really excited that Alan Morinis is coming to the UK at the end of October.
Between ourselves, Edgware and Hendon Reform Synagogue, and Bristol and West Progressive Jewish congregation, we are working hard on the programme; to ensure Alan's wisdom and teaching can go far, wide and deep!
Don't miss this opportunity to meet with and learn from the man credited with leading the modern revival of Mussar.
Alan Morinis
ALAN MORINIS received his doctorate from Oxford University where he went on a Rhodes Scholarship. He is one of the leading lights in the revival of the Jewish spiritual tradition of Mussar and is the author of Climbing Jacob’s Ladder (2002), Everyday Holiness (2007) and With Heart in Mind (2014). He is the founder of The Mussar Institute and a student of Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchok Perr, zt”l.
The Shabbat Effect
Alan's latest book, The Shabbat Effect explores Shabbat:
One of the most important biblical mandates, so significant that it numbers among the Ten Commandments, is the directive to observe a weekly day of rest. The Shabbat Effect illuminates how the practice of a day set aside for rest brings about a deep, lasting, and pervasive transformation of character, not just on the seventh day but every day.
A special series of events after the High Holy Days
We are delighted to be collaborating with The Mussar Institute, Rabbi Mark Goldsmith and Rabbi Monique Mayer to bring Alan Morinis to the UK at the end of October.
Everyday Holiness is widely considered to be the formative English-language Mussar text book, and we certainly use it a lot in our Mussar Va'ad groups.
This is an amazing opportunity to meet with and learn from Alan, in London and Leeds, and maybe even Oxford too.
