Micha Berger is a father, grandfather and husband, and sees in those roles much of the expression of his Judaism -- and his Mussar work. He is currently learning about the Middot of Holiness and of Patience and Tolerance adjusting to a new life as a recent immigrant to Israel. Micha was a student of Rav Dovid Lifshitz, the Suvalker Rav zt"l, at Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan (a Yeshiva University affiliate). From this contact, Rabbi Berger took away a dream to infuse his Jewish practice with the blend of love, Mussar, and grounding in Jewish thought that marked Rav Dovid's Torah and life. To that end, he established The AishDas Society, and was very involved during the founding and much of the history of The Mussar Institute. In 2019 Micha published Widen Your Tent, a book rooted in the Mussar teachings of Rav Shimon Shkop, Rav Dovid's mentor, and developed from classes he taught for The Mussar Institute.
