To Stand and Serve

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 Weinberg 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
mentors – Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks and the rashei yeshiva of Yeshivat Har
Etzion: Rav Yehuda Amital z”l and Rav Aharon and Rav Mosheh Lichtenstein
shlit”a – friends, and students.
