This evening we compare Rabbi Yehuda Amital's foundational story of the crying baby, with Moshe being disappointed with Yehoshua for misunderstanding the crying of the Jewish People. We tell the story of Tylenol package tampering and the revolutionary change it brought about as a modern day example of the main lesson to learn from the Golden Calf debacle. And we explore two sources and reasons for the requirement to start Shabbat at least 18 minutes earlier than necessary.

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.
