This morning we discuss what Israeli couples did who were planning to get married on October 8 or later, the day after Hamas attacked - cancel, postpone, go ahead? What does Jewish law and values say about celebrating amidst a tragedy? We share the inspiring insight of Matan Perez, an Israeli comedian, the Halachic rulings of Rabbi Yosef Rimon, and the heartbreaking and heartwarming story of the family of Yonatan and Daniel Perez (no relation to Matan), and the way Yonatan and his family navigated Yonatan's marriage to Galya, as described deeply, sensitively, and brilliantly by Rabbi David Bashevkin (10forty.org) interviewing Rabbi Doron Perez.

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:
