This morning we pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth, and connect her character with the fundamental Jewish ideals of duty, dignity, and faith. Then we discuss, on a separate topic, a crucial lesson derived from our Jewish calendar, that can help us formulate the hard conversations we all have to have, by looking at how God prepares to speak with us on Rosh Hashana.

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.
