This morning we present a person, a narrative, and a theme not overtly mentioned at the Seder, but repeatedly alluded to throughout the Haggadah: Yosef, his enmity with his brothers, his imprisonment, and his personal redemption. We show how this is reflected at many points during the Seder. And we provide three reasons why recalling this is crucial to our experience this Friday night, quoting Rabbi Shlomo Kluger, Rabbi JJ Schachter, and Rabbi Hyim Shafner.

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:
