10@9 The Emotional Challenge of Kaddish - May 10, 2023

This morning we discuss the emotional challenge mourners may face saying Kaddish. We present a startling insight of the Kotzker Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel, then a transcendent context to saying Kaddish provided by Rabbi Maurice Lamm. We share the interpretation of The Rav, Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik, on the person who kicks the door of their Sukkah as they leave it, and a poignant letter written by Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/adathyoutube Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts - https://tinyurl.com/miningtheriches1 Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/miningtheriches3 Stitcher: https://tinyurl.com/miningtheriches4 Please contact Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) with any questions for feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.
