This morning we analyze the three questions Yaakov knows his brother Eisav will ask, and tells his messengers to answer only the last question. This passage is the basis of a foundational essay by the Rav, Rabbi Yosef Soloveitchik titled "Confrontation," laying out the position of the Jewish People vis a vis the rest of the world.

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:
