This shiur explores sanctifying and desecrating God’s name.

A major theme is the definition of Kiddush Hashem, which ranges from performing commandments with excellence to the supreme act of martyrdom, where one must be willing to die rather than sin. Conversely, Chillul Hashem is described as a severe transgression involving intentional sin or behavior that leads others to view holiness with contempt.
