Why “Am Yisroel” Is the Name We Need Right Now | 10@9 | 2026.04.30
from Mining The Riches Of The Parsha · host Rabbi Michael Whitman
There are many names we have used to describe ourselves throughout Jewish history - Children of Israel, People of Israel, Nation of Israel, and many more. Each name reflects not only who we were in a particular moment, but something eternal about who we are. Rabbi Moshe Taragin explores these different identities and explains why today, more than ever, “Am Yisroel” - the Nation of Israel - captures who we are and who we aspire to be. What does it mean to think of ourselves not just as individuals or a religion, but as a people with a shared story and destiny - especially today? Am Yisroel Chai! 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.
