This morning we investigate the spaces in a Torah scroll, and Rashi's explanation to give Moshe space to consider what God had just taught him. Today, many of us no longer have these spaces to consider and reflect, filling these moments with endless scrolling and posting. We conclude with a wonderful story about Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski that teaches that the beauty of our lives only comes through when we live it at the proper speed.
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.
