10@9 God's Negotiating Style - November 4, 2025

from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman

This morning we discuss the truly astounding passage of Avraham negotiating with God about the people of Sodom. We explore the theological problems with this scene. And we appraise God's negotiating skill. 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.
