Kedusha

Kedusha (Hebrew: קדושה), meaning "holiness" or "sanctity," is a central concept in Jewish thought, representing the idea of separation, elevation, and dedication to God. Rooted in the Hebrew word kadosh (Hebrew: קדוש), which means "holy" or "set apart," Kedusha signifies a state of being that is spiritually elevated, distinct from the mundane, and aligned with the divine. In Jewish tradition, Kedusha encompasses the holiness of God, the sanctity of the Jewish people, sacred places, time, and actions.^[1]
