La crainte du Ciel : définition et illustration (Rav Gabriel Dayan)

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Torah Box’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good evening everyone, or good night. We're going to try to develop a very important point in the practice of mitzvot and in the Torah more generally, or rather, in the Avem, in our daily service Avem, in our daily service of ADA. A very, very important and essential point, which is actually this: what is it? We've passed through Eim Rana, we've passed through Yom Kippur, we've passed through the first days of Kippur, we've passed through the first days of Sukkot, and now we're approaching the end of this beautiful festival of Sukkot. In fact, what is expected of us during all these festivals, whether it's Pesar or Shavuot? The common thread of all these festivals, of all these common thread of all these festivals, of all these days, is this: well, of course, the practice of mitzvot. Of course, we must fulfill and respect the mitzvot, but the common thread of all these festivals is the fear of fear of Heaven. So we're going to try to develop, illustrate, and explain this concept. First of all, the word is written Yudh Rah, four letters. Y means fear. I don't want to translate it as fear, I don't want to translate it as fear, but it means to fear, it's more in the sense of... To fear, to fear heaven, to know and be aware that there is a supreme being whom we cannot see but whom we must fear, a supreme being who exists who sees and whom we cannot see exists who sees and whom we cannot see and whom we must fear—it's a little difficult to grasp, but we are all children of Abraham, Isaac, of Jacob, of our ancestors who, from generation to generation, bequeathed to us, made us inherit this heritage, which is the foundation.
