RABBI SACKS ON KEDOSHIM BEING HOLY


It's not easy to define what makes people holy,but it in their demeanor,there way of relating to people,their gentleness,their gravitas,their humility.In their presence you feel a little better than you thought you were.In themselves,they radiate a presence beyond themselves.That says Ramban is the challenge of those simple words at the beginning of Parshat Kedoshim: Be holy". Holiness is not just what we do but also the kind of person we become.(pages 295-300)
