10@9 Be a Hedgehog - February 19, 2025

This morning we analyze the famous distinction between a fox and a hedgehog, based on an essay by Zohar Atkins. We identify Yitro as a hedgehog in suggesting Moshe delegate his role to other judges. Likewise the Jewish People when they say, in our Torah portion of Mishpatim, "Na'aseh V'Nishmah" we will do and we will hear, we will focus on the one great truth that God loves us. I suggest 3 great truths we need to focus on now.

Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.
