Description
What is kehuna? The term is often translated as "priesthood", and the Jewish Kohanim are indeed charged with ministering God's Temple, yet Kehuna signifies much more than that. A Kohen is a representative of God on earth, and this designation thus carries moral and educational dimensions in addition to its ritual aspects. This book portrays a holistic view of the essence of Kehuna and how Kohanim (and non-kohanim) can live up to its ideals.
To Stand and Serve is dedicated to the memory of Marc Weinber z"l, a man who lived the ideals of Kehuna and truly represented God in this world until his tragic and untimely departure. The volume contains contributions from metors-- Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, and the rashei yeshiva of Yeshivat Har Etzion: Rav Yehuda Amital z"l and Rav Aharon and Rav Moshe Lichtenstein Shlit"a-- friends, and students
