Advertise on podcast: Living Kiddush Hashem

How can we understand the unlimited rejoicing on Purim? What can we do to prevent this holy day from turning into tremendous chillul Hashem? Why are we allowed to have such a level of drinking and rejoicing, which seems to go beyond the typical simcha of other yomim tovim?

Why do we whisper the tefilah of "baruch sheim kavod malchuso"? Why is it a secret? Why can't we say it publicly?

Why is "shmah Yisroel.." the most famous pasuk? Why has it been used throughout the generations when Yiddin gave up their lives al kiddush Hashem?

When a Jew dies tragically in a terrorist attack or other accident, is that also considered dying al kiddush Hashem? What is the power of saying "shmah Yisroel Hashem elokeinu Hashem echad"?

How is giving up our lives considered a Kiddush Hashem? If anything it creates a lot of doubt about the existence of a G-D when people die al kiddush Hashem? Learn about the incredible results that were generated from the mesiras nefesh in the Holocaust.

Why doesn't Hashem always shine his hashgacha on tzadikim to be mekadeish His name? In this vaad we learn how the ultimate kiddush Hashem is through a large number of people serving Hashem. The siyum hashes and some of its amazing responses demonstrate this idea.

Learn how every mitzvah has the potential of revealing more kavod shamayim whether indoors or outdoors. Learn how Hatzala members experienced Kiddush Hashem by 9/11.

How do our actions become publicized? How does the truth spread throughout the world? We are not missionaries and we don't proselytize, so how does Kiddush Hashem ultimately happen?

How can we be proud of our Torah way of life and yet not look down at people who do not live with the Torah lifestyle?

Although the Torah does not change and we don't follow society and their sense of morality, however we do adjust ourselves according to the derech eretz of the place that we are in. We need to take notice of the etiquette of society around us. Kiddush Hashem lenses will help us keep on track. 

The proper prescription for kiddush Hashem is to be a clear servant of Hashem at the same time interact as a mentch. One without the other can not succeed. A beautiful letter was sent to Rabbi Feinstein about his experience in the Staten Island Yeshiva which demonstrates this point. 

How do we create a balance between bein adam lchaveiro and bein adam lamakom? How do we ensure that one does not fall by the wayside? We will learn in this vaad how one cannot succeed without the other.
