This morning I share an insight from my friend and teacher, Abe Mezrich, There is a curious connection between Avraham and trees. So what does it mean when Avraham is to take cut pieces of wood? This leads to the ultimate goal, to live life with God.

10@9 The Contradiction in Hallel - October 23, 2025
This morning we investigate Hallel, the prayer of praise and thanks we say on Holidays, such as today which is Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the new Jewish month. There is a contradiction between the two themes of this prayer and we discuss two approaches to resolve this; one from Rabbi Doron Peres, and one from Professor Shawn Aster - both are relevant to each of us every day.

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.
