Description

For Parshat Emor we wish to revisit the Mitzva of Kiddush Hashem. Why do our tefillos of Shabbos connect the Shabbos with Kidush Hashem? Why does the observance of Shabbos make us into מקדשי שמך?? Why does the Torah present the Moadim and the mitzva of Kiddush Hashem in the same breath? What is kiddush Hashem? Is it the act of giving one's life rather than violate the Torah in public? Why does the Torah open the parsha of the Moadim with the labor of the six weekdays that proceed Shabbos? How do we understand the Mesirus Nefesh of Rav Ada bar Ahava in Berachot? Why does the Rambam illustrate kiddush hashem with the episode of Yosef who overcame his Yetzer HaRa? We will study the insights of Rabenu Yona re the concept of Darchei Kiddush Hash
