קדוש קדוש קדוש קדוש

Daf Hashavua

Bava Basra 10b


                                 הרוגי מלכות אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתן 


The four levels of Kedoshim


1) A Yid who was killed by a Goy even if it was not an antisemitic act (robbery), is a קדוש.
See Shu"t Chasam Sofer (Y.D. 333) based on Sanhedrin 47a וכיון דאיקטול קרי להו עבדיך

A Yid whose life was cut short by a Goy killing him acquires his  כפרה

2) A Yid who was killed by an anti-Semite because he is Jewish. (Holocaust victims etc.)
See Shu"t Mahril 99, who refers to them as קדושי עליון and says on them
 אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתן   

3a) A Yid who was forced by a Goy to be Oiver one of the ג' עבירות (or any Mitzvah
if there is a Gezeira to be oiver) and was killed for refusing to be oiver, is a קדוש.     

3b) If this was done in front of 10 Yidden He is a מקדש  שם שמים ברבים
(Rambam יסודי התורה פרק ה.)     

4) A Yid who sacrificed his life to save other Yidden. He is the ultimate קדוש 
on whom Chazal (Bava Basra 10b) say  אין כל בריה יכולה לעמוד במחיצתן.

The Gaon was asked:  "Which is the most difficult Mitzvah?" His answer was the Mitzvah of ושמחת בחגך והיית אך שמח...
