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.
