About this episode

Rabbi Yosef Rimon discusses how God perceives our efforts and struggles, emphasizing that we are cherished despite our shortcomings.

Is there spiritual value in doing what God asks - even if we only do it partially? Does God measure us by a single standard, or does God see each person differently? In this video, Rabbi Yosef Rimon presents a perspective that may challenge your assumptions - and leave you feeling seen, not judged. An emotional story shared by Rabbi Herschel Schachter captures this idea in a way that may move you to tears of awe and gratitude. A powerful reflection on how much God cherishes not just our successes, but our struggles, our doubts, and even our setbacks. 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.
