This morning we celebrate completing 1000 sessions together since April, 2020. I share a personal message of what this experience means to me, and does for me. We begin with a curious Talmudic passage I heard at the recent Yeshiva University Yarchei Kallah Rabbis Conference, from the incredible Dr. Erica Brown. We contrast the character of Saul and David, Israel's first and second king, and I trace my conscious transformation from the first type to the second. I am deeply grateful to every one of you who participates in our learning, either regularly or occasionally. Your feedback, comments, and challenges give me deep wisdom, encouragement, and strength. Together, I look forward to the next thousand and beyond!

Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.
