10@9 How Much Are You Worth - May 23, 2025
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This morning we discuss the ending of our Torah portion and the Book of VaYikra, which doesn't appear to be an appropriate ending, as it discusses a Mitzvah, Erechin (valuation) which appears to have no connection to the last portion or to the Book as a whole. We explain the deeper meaning of this strange Mitzvah, and how it perfectly connects with the Torah reading and the entire book, expressed by two wonderful stories; one from the Klausenberger Rebbe, and one from R. Yechiel Spiro. 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://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman ([email protected]) with any questions or 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.
