The public is invited to Beth Israel, located at 3706 Crondall Lane, for an inspiring weekend with Dr. Morinis, author of “The Shabbat Effect: Jewish Wisdom for Growth and Transformation.”
The event begins Friday at 6 p.m. with a Kabbalat Shabbat service, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and an introductory talk, “What is Mussar and Why Should I Care?”
During Shabbat morning services, Dr. Morinis will present the D’var Torah, “Torah Through a Mussar Lens,” followed at approximately 12:45 p.m. with a Kiddush conversation, “Religion and Spirituality: The Shabbat Connection.”
That evening, after a community Havdalah service at 8:30 p.m., Dr. Morinis will lead a discussion, “Mussar as a Toolkit for Living in Today’s World.”
