Abstract

In Judaism, holiness is achieved through separation. We ritualize separations between holy and profane time, holy and profane foods and objects, and holy and profane behaviors. Separation, in this sense, requires conscious and deliberative choices to move away from or to move towards, to divide or to segment experiences through constant awareness and vigilance.
