The Shabbat Effect

Jewish Wisdom for Growth and Transformation
By Alan Morinis

Join us on the opening day of Beth Am University as we welcome guest scholar Alan Morinis, who will be speaking about his new book, The Shabbat Effect.

Alan Morinis, PhD, founded The Mussar Institute in 2004 and is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the Mussar movement. A Rhodes Scholar and an anthropologist, he became a student of the late Rabbi Yechiel Perr, an accomplished master of the Mussar tradition. Following years of study, he reinterpreted ancient Mussar teachings and practices for modern audiences in Climbing Jacob’s Ladder (2002), Everyday Holiness (2007), Every Day, Holy Day (2010), and With Heart in Mind (2014).
