The Path of Mussar

The battle between good and evil is a story as old as humanity. And when it's served up as entertainment - when good versus evil is played out on the screen or on the page - the setting is very often something exotic and unknown. The battles are epic in scope. Think Star Wars, or The Lord of the Rings.

But Alan Morinis says the battleground between good and evil lies in the little choices people make every minute of every day.

Alan Morinis is a follower of the Jewish spiritual tradition of Mussar. He embraced the ancient teaching when his own life offered up a tussle between right and wrong, and he opted for wrong. His latest book is Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar. It's published by Trumpeter Books
