This morning we discuss three times the VaYigash (and they approached) appears in connection with prayer. Rabbi Saul Berman derives three themes/modes of prayer from these three disparate narratives, and we should be aware of all three as we take three steps forward to begin prayer.

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:
