This morning we discuss Bidud (quarantine in modern Hebrew, the consequence of Tzora'at in our Parsha) as an opportunity for introspection and re-evaluation, quoting Rabbi Eliyahu Dessler and the Slonimer Rebbe in Netivot Shalom on the constructive potential of being alone, and using this construct for a new and progressive understanding of Shabbat.

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:
