This week’s Torah Portion is Kedoshim. What does Kedoshim mean? It means holy. The portion begins commanding us to be holy.

What does that mean?

The portion begins קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ  – Be Holy. What does that mean “Be Holy”?

The Torah gives us commandments on how to live. but what does be holy mean?

The Torah gives us commandments on how to live life, but this commandment is different.  This one is going beyond the day to day and saying general rule be holy.

Holiness > Righteousness

Holiness is one level up from righteousness. You can be the most righteous person and do all the things right, and still not be holy, see where I am going with this?

As entrepreneurs you can go thru the motions, you can raise money you could do marketing. If you don’t dedicate yourself, really dedicate, you won’t succeed.

Minimalism is the enemy of success

The Torah teaches us don’t just do the commandments and go through the motions. Think out of the box. How do you become holy? As an entrepreneur always think out of the box, and go beyond. As Human beings doing the minimum we will never achieve holiness. As entrepreneurs doing the minimum and we will never achieve success.
