R. Alan Morinis: Reawakening the Spiritual Essence of Religious Practice, Torah Study, and Shabbat Observance

Nov 25, 2025

1:09:48

Rabbi Alan Morinis, founder of the Mussar Institute, is a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the Mussar movement, a 1,100-year-old authentic Jewish personal and communal spiritual tradition. A Rhodes Scholar and anthropologist (whose focus had been Hindu religious pilgrimages), he reached a personal turning point in his life in 1997 that led him to seek out the late Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchok Perr, an accomplished master who stood in an unbroken line of transmission of the Mussar tradition.Following years of study, he reinterpreted the ancient Mussar learnings and practices for modern audiences in Climbing Jacob’s Ladder (2002) and Everyday Holiness (2007). To address the growing public interest in Mussar, he founded The Mussar Institute in 2004.He went on to author two more books, Every Day, Holy Day (2010), With Heart in Mind (2014), and now a new book, The Shabbat Effect. Alan lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, and continues to explore and interpret original Mussar sources in Hebrew and is making these valuable teachings available to the contemporary world.--Please rate and review the Empowered Jewish Living podcast on whatever platform you stream it.
