LEV914 Sanctify the Name of Heaven. That is, we shall give up our lives for the sake of His mitzvos. Our Sages delineated regarding which mitzvos and in which situations that command applies [Rambam (Fifth Chapter of Hilchos Yesodei HaTorah, Law 2) and the Shulchan Aruch (Yoreh De’ah 127:1).] Key concepts: We are created only to serve our Creator, so he who will not give up his life for the sake of his Creator’s commands is not a good servant. After all, we see that men who are servants of flesh and blood sacrifice their lives for their masters, so all the more so must one do so for the Master of the Universe. We find in the Sifra, “I took you out of Egypt on conditioned that you would sanctify My Name in public.”
