| 1 | Middah Beinonis, Kedusha | 2003-02-06 | We are supposed to follow the middle path, which means being neither ascetic nor indulgent, but rather doing that which we need to be healthy and robust both physically and emotionally. When we go past what is needed, at a certain point we cross into leading a pampered and materialistic lifestyle, which in turn develops such a personality as well. This has practical implications on all aspects of lifestyle – cars, clothing, simchas, vacations, etc. The definition of kedusha, according to the Seforno, is focusing on the eternal. The more pampered and materialistic we are, the more we have distanced ourselves from that which is eternal. | View | |
