Kedoshimתשפ״ד
Kedoshim – פרק כ׳׳א: Holy in Name
The essay surveys the various pshat approaches to the Melech referenced in Tehillim 21 (Melech HaMoshiach per Medrash Tehillim, Dovid after Bas Sheva per Rashi, Dovid's coronation per Radak/Meiri, Chizkiyahu per the Ry"d), showing that in every reading the king's glory derives entirely from HKBH. It then turns to the Medrash Tehillim's drash that Hashem shares His honor with those who fear Him — including permitting Klal Yisroel to bear His name 'Kadosh' — and asks why specifically that name. Drawing on the Sifra and the Ksav Sofer, the essay concludes that Hashem's Prishus does not preclude His involvement in human affairs, and likewise our pursuit of Kedusha need not mean ascetic withdrawal from the physical world but rather holiness lived among others.
