This text study includes two texts related to the concept of kiddush haShem (sanctification of God’s name) and hillul haShem (desecration of God’s name): Deuteronomy Rabbah 3:3 and Talmud Yoma 86a. The discussion questions guide participants to consider how to extract principles and values from a person’s actions. This text study may be used to help task force members uncover their congregation’s underlying values and principles for the purpose of creating an educational vision aligned with those principles.
