Mining the Riches of the Parsha on Nasso | 2026.05.28
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
This evening we trace two approaches to living a moral and holy life, so that a person who chooses to become a Nazir - prohibiting for themself otherwise permitted pleasures - is both praised and criticized. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks helps us understand how both can be true, and which is best for us. Rabbi Moshe Alshech helps us understand the convoluted wording concerning Birchat Kohanin, the Priestly blessing - who is giving the blessing: the Kohein or God? The answer is the key to parenting and other forms of leadership. 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.
