Alan Morinis will be in the Twin Cities April 29-30 to share about his new book The Shabbat Effect: Jewish Wisdom for Growth and Transformation.
One of the most important biblical mandates, so significant as to number 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 can bring about a deep, lasting, and pervasive spiritual illumination and transformation of character, not just on that seventh day but every day of your life.
Drawing on venerable sources from the 1,100-year-old Jewish tradition of Mussar as well as the experiences of contemporary practitioners, Alan will explore how the practice of Shabbat enhances and refines core traits of character. His teaching will illuminate a path to living a life that is not only more enjoyable but also leads to fulfilling your highest human potential.
