10@9 Strengthen Others to Strengthen Yourself - January 10, 2025
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This morning we explore the practice we and others have in the synagogue this Shabbat as we conclude the Torah portion VaYechi, and with that, the Book of Bereishit, the congregation exclaims Chazak, be strengthened, to celebrate the milestone of studying this book of the Torah together. We describe how this phrase has been movingly paraphrased since October 7: I came to strengthen and I leave strengthened. We provide a remarkable example of this, recently published, about Sapir Cohen. 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.
