Shalom and welcome everyone. Today we delve into the profound world of Tanya, specifically the concept of serving with both love and fear. As elucidated in Tanya, these two emotions form the wings that elevate our Mitzvot. Love is our fervent desire to connect with the Divine, while fear is a deep reverence for the greatness of God.
In our everyday life, this translates to performing our obligations not just because we have to, but out of a genuine love and fear. Love, because we yearn to fulfill the will of our Creator and fear, because we recognize our humble position before His majesty.
It’s like a bird with two wings, it needs both to fly. Similarly, our mitzvot need both love and fear to be elevated. As we go about our day, let us remember to infuse our actions with these two crucial emotions, thereby uplifting not just ourselves, but the world around us.
