This morning we discuss the increasing intensity of mourning practices during the Nine Days leading to Tisha B'Av, the wrong and sad method some use to circumvent these rules, and a legitimate use of the exception from a remarkable story about a surprising ruling of Rabbi Avraham Kook, first Israeli Chief Rabbi.
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.
