This morning we pay tribute to Rav Dovid Kronglas on his 50th Yartzeit, 11 Tevet. Rav Dovid was Mashgiach (spiritual guide) at Ner Yisroel, the Yeshiva I attended in Baltimore. Rav Dovid passed away just a few months after I arrived at the age of 14. My contact with him was brief, at a distance, and utterly life-changing. Here I share just a brief part of a lecture he gave on the essential character of Rosh Hashana, and what we did and do for God on that day.

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.
