This morning we discuss a wonderful story about pretzels from Rabbi Baruch Lederman, and the Mitzvah to not just give Tzedaka, but to give dignity. I share personal stories about two remarkable Montreal efforts, Le Cafe (Federation CJA) and Mada, not just helping those in need, but giving dignity and self-esteem at the same time. And we quote Sivan Rahav Meir's insight into the importance of early detection, before it becomes a crisis, when the need is much more likely to improve.
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.
