The Loss Of Fear - Part 2

This is a reply to T.R.B.S.M. whose email inspired this post.

The Yomim Noraim are not ONLY days of fear but days of joy as well [this is clearly implied by the Rambam and others]. "Az yiraninu kol atzei hayaar lifnei Hashem ki ba lishpot ha'aretz" - The trees rejoice because Hashem is judging the land!

We are afraid because our contract might be up and we are happy because Hashem is CLOSE when He is judging and because we know that He loves us and will only do what is best and because the Jewish people as a whole will definitely have a favorable judgement.
