Joy and Terror

Hi,

"There is an Orthodox Jew who dwells in timidity, tethered to what he knows; there is an Orthodox Jew whose life is punctuated by the joy and terror of the gooseflesh."

(Rabbi Shalom Carmy, The House I Lived in: A Taste of Gooseflesh, Tradition 44:2)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

    Joy and terror together isn't a chiddush of R'Carmy. DHAH already said in Tehillim11:2 עבדו את-ה ביראה וגילו ברעדה

    No need for it to be a chiddush; I just like his formulation.
