10@9 Religious Freedom for Jews in Israel - December 24, 2025
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This morning I share part of an interview by Daniel Gordis with my friend and colleague, Rabbi Seth Farber founder and director of ITIM. One of the reasons I share this is because I so strongly agree with Rabbi Farber. He outlines with dramatic examples the Jewish resurgence in Israel today, what it could mean for the greatly improved future of Israel and Judaism, and how it is being stymied by absurd efforts of some in the Israeli government to pass laws that would take religious coercive legislation to levels never before seen or imagined. Hopefully, Rabbi Farber's view will prevail. 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.
