The modern world is characterized by a high degree of social communication, inter-dependence and interconnection. In this context, the problem of building construc-tive relations between followers of different religions is getting increasingly relevant. The article presents one of the promising approaches in this field – a personality model of interreligious dialogue, which is based on a comparison of spiritual prac-tices in different religions. The article describes the place of the personal model in the system of interreligious relations, its basic principles and research tasks, whose solution is necessary for its successful implementation. The possibilities of applying the personality model are demonstrated by a comparative analysis of the spiritual practices of Orthodoxy, Sufism and Hasidism. The author concludes that the per-sonality model can be successfully applied to harmonization of ethno-confessional relations, as well as prevention of extremism and terrorism under religious slogans. The scope of scientific tasks within the framework of the personal model of interre-ligious dialogue is very wide, while characterized by a commonality of fundamental ideas, principles and methodology. In this sense, the personal model can be consid-ered as a research program, whose implementation requires the participation of a group of specialists.
