Kedoshim – Holy Cow!

with Rabbi Benny Rapoport

The Torah commands us in the beginning of our parshah to be holy. What does that mean? What is the definition of "holy"?

In the Jewish vernacular we hear phrases such as "the Holy Shabbat" or "the Holy Torah"; can we understand what holiness really is?

Tune in to this week's Parshah Cast and discover how even cows can be holy!
