Kedoshim | Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1

Description

Kedusha means living with a distinct Jewish identity in every aspect of life, transforming the mundane into a dwelling place for Hashem. True readiness for Moshiach comes from sanctifying even the permissible, reaching a deeper bittul that reveals the essence of the soul and of Hashem. Torah endures only when it is shared—helping others spiritually both sustains your own growth and fulfills your unique mission. In the “upside-down world,” those we uplift may be our greatest merit, revealing that every act of influence carries eternal reward.
