Full Version: Kedusha
Had a spiritual Shabbos?
I'm not entirely sure what "kedusha" means, but I once heard yom-kippur puts the "Keds" back into "kedusha" so there.

Anybody actually know what kedusha means?

The root of the word is perhaps better translated as "designated" rather than "holy". For instance, the term "kadaisha" refers to a prostitute, as she is designated for a specific purpose.

Like the other poster said it means designated or specially seperated.
