Fear of GD, especially for a man is extremely powerful. You will hopefully avoid improper actions out of consideration for society, legal/monetary or family negative consequences. However you still might commit the act if you believe you can get away with it and it will benefit you. As we know since GD sees all, your bad actions could possibly cause you multiple times more pain than the enjoyment you had received. The problem and the fear is that you never know when you will be punished, to what extent and in what manner. Reply

Fear is an emotion such as love and can increase by G-d's power. Fear can be transformed from terror to dread to living hellfire in the blink of an eye, when one gets too close to G-d with un-atoned sin....it is a natural/supernatural reaction to the power of G-d's being, seeing how He creates Himself by His full power without/before time/space was ever made. When one is increased by the full power of G-d either in love or fear he transcends time. In the case of fear Einstein said if you travel at the speed of light time stops. Since G-d is eternal....{without time).....if a soul were transformed into all powerful fear he would become a living lightning bolt and would know eternal death, being torn from existence to never be "remembered" in physical or spiritual form. So yes we should fear G-d and put no sin between us. Reply

Eikev: 5th Portion Dear Rabbi Gordon, thank you for the Chumash teaching. There are days when I can follow you with the Hebrew, others, like today you read too fast. But I will be watching it again. You are very kind. Reply
