This morning we imagine a couple standing under their Chuppah and the plans and decisions they have already made vs. the reactions to life as it unfolds for them. Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein uses this image to explain the one-word difference between the end of VaYikra (Leviticus) and BaMidbor (Numbers).This leads to a two-fold relationship with God, and the ability to heal any rift.

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:
