Reply To: chillul Hashem

I feel like we’re telling kids to behave better than normal because we want people to think the torah teaches us to.

hey! i’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but i think your statement is correct. i guess it’s wrong to say kiddush Hashem or chillul Hashem in this context, but we are definitely saying that they should act like that, so people will want to be like us, as m in Israel wrote, they should say, “fortunate are those who learn Torah”.

that’s why this whole thing is confusing – at least how it’s typically used.
