Mining Shelach on B'Ha'alotecha - June 15, 2023

This evening we present a famous and foundational lecture given by The Rav, Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik, in 1974. The subject is last week's Parsha, B'Ha'alotecha, which The Rav analyzes to uncover the pivotal seed of the dissembling in our Parsha, Shelach, the next Parsha, Korach, and the direction of the rest of the Torah. It all starts here with one tragic moment, one incident that changes the course of Jewish history under which we still labor today. This is best expressed for us in a commercial for GrubHub, with great but depraved classic rock music by Freddy Mercury and Queen. 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.
