10@9 Search for Truth - August 17, 2025
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This morning we interpret the beginning of our Torah portion, Re'eh, as see or investigate what leads to life/blessing and what leads to death/curse - choosing life comes later. I tell my story of meeting Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, born Jewish, Archbishop of Paris. Notwithstanding his assertion, the beliefs of Judaism and Christianity cannot be reconciled. Especially today it is necessary to investigate what is true and what is false, not what accords with our beliefs. 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.
