Description

As Rav Soloveitchik would often say, based on Rambam’s statement to this effect (Hilkhot Shmita v’Yovel 13:13), any person who devotes themselves to the Jewish community, raising the bar for our religious, moral, and spiritual standards, carries within them an element of the Kedushat Kohanim, the priests who not only served in the Temple, but who took the sanctity within the Beit Hamikdash and carried outward to the entire Jewish people.
