This evening we explore the mystical, allegorical meaning of Kan Tzippor, the Mitzvah to send away the mother bird before taking her young, which sees God as pained whenever God's children are harmed, and connected even when invisible. We analyze how divorce, with its accompanying separation and often a sense of failure, is actually the moment of greatest connection to God, more so than the moment of marriage. And we explore the anthem of these upcoming Holydays, each different in theme and practice, but sharing a single goal, a single destination at which we hope to arrive by the end of Sukkot, exquisitely expressed in a single prayer, Psalm 27, L'Dovid Hashem Ori V'Yishi.
Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.
