B'Ha'alotecha - June 8, 2023

This evening we discuss the apparent verbosity in describing when the Jewish People traveled and camped, with an important insight from Rabbi S.R. Hirsch. We analyze the apparent philosophical impossibility of conversion to Judaism, and provide three different ways to understand how Halachic conversion is necessary and makes the Jewish People better. And we investigate Moshe's humility, greater than any person, with two very different, but equally important approaches - one from the Rebbe Rashab (Rabbi Sholom Dov Ber Schneerson) and one from Rabbi Norman Lamm. 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.
