Welcome to the pesukim of Musaf, Rosh Hashanah. We're on our fifth pasuk of shofarot , which refers to, again, as we said, the shofar of our Rosh Hashanah. The pasuk is from Tehilim 98,6 בַּ֭חֲצֹ֣צְרוֹת וְק֣וֹל שׁוֹפָ֑ר הָ֝רִ֗יעוּ לִפְנֵ֤י ׀ הַמֶּ֬לֶךְ יְהֹוָֽה׃ Of the shofar, the voice of the shofar, we will blow in front of Hashem, our God, which refers to the shofar of Rosh Hashanah. The trumpets have to do with the Bet HaMikdash, so we're not discussing that now. Now the Meiri says in his sefer on Teshuva the following. He says, let's look at this full chapter. It starts off with hari ola shem kola aretz, let the whole land trumpet, pitzku, ranruz, ameru. All types of terms of songs. Zamrula, hashem, bechino, play with a harp, call zimra. And the sound is song. Then it says, which was, you say. It'S torment, rosh hashanah. I'll skip a pasuka too. And then it says, lef ne hashem kibalish bot haaretz. Because Hashem is coming to judge the land. So that pasuk of Kiba, Lishpot haaretz is clearly talking about Rosh Hashanah. And yet we mentioned happiness and song. What's going on? Says the mir. And he says that the fear of. Rosh Hashanah is a path to get us to Simcha, to get us to happiness. And he says that that's the reason why it's not accepted to fast on. Rosh Hashanah, because Rosh Hashanah still is. A yom tov, and we can't pass on that simcha of Yom Tov. And what are we happy about? We're happy about the messages that we got from the shofar. And he says, even though Hashem is holding on to the chair of justice, we still, it's befitting to be happy, because what the person received from that arousal, from that understanding that he got Volba used to always say, the pisukim, that we say right after the shofar is blown, our pisukim of happiness. Quote from Telim 80 916. We say, ashre aam yodei tiruah. Fortunately, the people that know the secret of the tiruah, which means they know the secret of the tiruah, which is to arouse yourself into Shuah Hashem beor Panekha Yale, we're gonna go in the light of your face, which is, again, a positive concept. B'shem chay yagilun KOlayom in your name. We're gonna bed delighted and elated all day. So this is clearly PiSukiM of happiness. It says, the Gona vilna's face was fiery with happiness as the shofar was blowing. And he says, what are we happy about? Says the MIri, that we realize that hashem controls the world and we understand that we are as nation and we are being supervised by him, and we pray to him and we have our supplications. And then he says, we walk out with reliance on the promises of the prophets. Rosh hashanah. When we start talking about Hashem revealing himself, we are looking forward and hoping to mashiach. That's a lot of the talk on Rosh Hashanah. And he says, lo she pol y ush bilvadenu. Not that we should despair in our hearts to give up hope because the exile has been so long. No. We walk out of Rosh hashanah enthused. We walk out of Rosh Hashanah inspired. We walk out of Rosh hashanah motivated. And I say, walk out of Roshanna. We walk out of the kiyat shofar. We hear the shofar blowing, and we get the lessons of the shofar. Malchioth. Hashem is King Zicheronoth. He remembers us. He's watching over us. Shofarot, the shofar of Har Sinai. And that arousal that we get, although we know we're being judged. And it's that the reason why we're taking this so seriously is because we're being judged. But with all that, we still are excited about the lessons that we got due to the judgment. It's like a person that's going for a therapy session, I mean, physical therapy session, that is. And he's being stretched and twisted and whatever it may be, and he walks out Charley horsed. But he knows that that's going to make him feel better in another day or two because he's all, he's now more flexible and more mobile. So when we walk, we know that the fear of Rosh Hashanah, that's what got us to where we are. If not for Elul and Rosh Hashanah. And our preparation, taking this seriously, because we know it's judgment Day, we wouldn't get here. So we need that backdrop of judgment day to get ourselves here. But the goal, says the Nirihood is, after all that, to be happy with that, to read to you an unbelievable rabbeini Ona in his commentary on the riffin Berachot, where he says that normally, by human beings, fear and happiness are a contradiction. If you're standing in front of someone in fear, you're moved back and worried by Hashem. It doesn't work that way. It says the opposite. When you start delving into his greatness and become afraid of him, you become happy with that fear. Why? Because that fear is going to get you to fulfill mitzvot. That fear aroused you, and now you're thrilled, he says. That's the concept, that you could be serve Hashem with fear and be happiness with that fear. That's what it means. All of the curses come because you didn't serve Hashem out of happiness. It means you should have gotten to a fear. And the fear doesn't leave you by fear. The fear brings you to happiness. The great Rov Haskel Evanstein, who was known for his tremendous fear on Rosh Hashanah, crying during the prayers. But his student Ravdan Segal said he once heard him during the break in his room, singing songs. What's going on? You're crying and you're singing. Yes, that's the power of Rosh Hashanah.
