You are all holy; you are all children of the holy God.

Excerpt

Rabbi Abba exclaimed: Happy is your lot in this world and in the world to come; happy also is my lot, in that I have been favored with hearing these words from your mouth. You are all holy; you are all children of the holy God; it is of you that Scripture says: “One shall say: I am the Lord’s; another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; another shall write with his hand: I am the Lord’s, and shall glory in bearing the name of Israel.”
