This morning we discuss the highly problematic question of why we don't blow Shofar this year on the first day of Rosh Hashana, just because it is Shabbat. How can we give up the benefits hearing the Shofar bring us, because of the remote possibility someone may carry a Shofar in a public domain on Shabbat? Did it even ever happen? This Shabbat at ADATH I will propose one answer. Here is another.
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.
