- Although the kadosh life is a daily activity, are there some particularly highlight times in this living pattern?
- And, where these “highlight times” are concerned, are they for the full community or for some?
- In the description of this day, are all “usual pursuits” of business/work to be avoided?
- Indeed, during the course of this day are even “normal feelings and needs” to be modified?
- Is fasting considered a “punishment” or a withdrawal from usual bodily satisfactions?
- And, in addition to the individual, is the Worship Center also to be subject to a particular process? Is it possible that even this Center may have experienced that which is not entirely kadosh?
- Is this “repurification” graded—are all the Israelites involved? Is there any variation (degree) of repurification and is any one more or less in need of same than any other person?
- What is the “center” of this day, physically?
- Is this especially kadosh time related to a historical event (Sinai, leaving Egypt, crossing the Reed Sea)?
- Is this particular day related to an agricultural cycle?
- Is the day actually given a name?
- Why would the frequency of this experience be but once yearly?
- How does one translate “het”? Is it, according to the Hebrew, transgression or “sin?”
- If halakhah is the path to be walked for kedushah, would “het” then be defined as straying and “teshuva” as returning?
- How is each Israelite expected to conduct himself/herself on this day?
- The day is called Shabbat Shabbaton—does this convey the idea of sadness?
- Is it only the people who require “rekadoshing”—restoration to the “unique” category?
- Is there any indication that, after this day , anyone will not be restored to the appropriate condition of uniqueness?
