Holiness and Responsibility

چکیده
English as well as French differentiates the term holy from the term sacred – in fact, Levinas' book "Du sacré au saint" is translated as "From the Sacred to the Holy". This is illustrative of the extent to which the meanings of the two words differ. God is called "The Holy One Blessed be He", but we would find it peculiar to refer to Him as "The Sacred One". By contrast, when referring to places or objects, both terms can be used. Jerusalem, the Temple and the objects used for Temple service are thus both holy and sacred. In Hebrew, however, there is only one word, kadosh, to translate both holy and sacred. God, Jerusalem, the Temple and its utensils, the animals sacrificed there are all kadosh.
