Shaarei Yosher on Qedoshim Tihyu (Qedushim 19:2)
My parashah shiur this week was based on Rav Shimon Shkop’s understanding of “qedushim tihyu ki Qadosh Ani”. Hopiness as an emulation of G-d, for which separation is “only” a strategy, not a defining feature. Qedushah is commitment to providing Hashem’s good to others.
The text from Shaarei Yosher with translation is selected from sec 1.1. of my book, Widen Your Tent, available at http://www.aishdas.org/asp/ShaareiYosher.pdf
