To Stand and Serve (Hebrew and English Edition)

What is kehuna? The term is often translated as priesthood, and the Jewishkohanim are indeed charged with ministering God s Temple, yet kehuna signifiesmuch more than that. A kohen is a representative of God on earth, andthis designation thus carries moral and educational dimensions in addition toits ritual aspects. This book portrays a holistic view of the essence of kehunaand how kohanim (and non-kohanim) can live up to its ideals.To Stand and Serve is dedicated to the memory of Marc Weinberg z l, a manwho lived the ideals of kehuna, and truly represented God in this world untilhis tragic and untimely departure. The volume contains contributions frommentors Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks and the rashei yeshiva of Yeshivat HarEtzion: Rav Yehuda Amital z"l, Rav Aharon Lichtenstein z"l and Rav Mosheh Lichtensteinshlit a friends, and students.
