„"Humility and awe, in their revelation, give birth to delight and to…”

„"Humility and awe, in their revelation, give birth to delight and to joy... (Shemonah Kevatzim, VII, 30)”

When a person knows his place, he is joyful. He knows what he is capable of and gives thanks for what he attains beyond his own powers. Dreams of better places do not bring him to sadness, because he knows his place. Every success beyond that is a gift.

When a person fears God, he understands the hierarchy in this world. He recognizes and knows that in the end there is a ruler of the capital, there is a master of the house over the world, and He is the one who steers matters.

True humility and awe lead to joy.

Good evening.

For the recovery of Malka bat Roza.
