The word “venikdashti”, which appears in Sefer Yechezkel five times, encompasses human courage and responsibility. As Rabbi David Altschuler and his son, Rabbi Hillel, explain that in our Haftarah, the word “venikdashti” refers to the sanctification of God through our own courageous actions; the miracles that we ourselves perform (Mezudot David, Yechezkel 28:25). The soul breathed into us by God enables us to be His partner, putting our actions on par with His miracles. We have seen this through bereaved family members, injured soldiers and the hostages who demonstrate unbelievable resilience.
