"Kedusha" is separateness, for a purpose, not anything that sacred might man.So it's not clear which is referred to, or even what's meant by "sacred" (EJB or harry-er).<br /><br />In regards to the Bible, G-d is sacred. WE should be sacred. The Mikdash is sacred, Jerusalem is sacred, Israel is sacred (עשר קדושות). We can achieve sanctity through the mizvot. <br /><br />(I'm not sure what I'm getting at, but what I know I don';t like is Jews who only do things because it gives them a feeling of "holiness", like lighting candles by the tomb of King David, or saying tehilim by the kotel, etc).הצעיר שלמה בן רפאל לבית שריקי ס"טhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835340110056405173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12970718.post-24922872512812417762009-08-16T09:34:41.050-04:002009-08-16T09:34:41.050-04:00One's word.
