Rabbi Riddle: G-d is Awesome! And Then Some!

In the Torah portion of Shemos, Pharoah ordered the Jewish midwives to kill all infant boys. But they did not obey Pharoah because they feared G-d. Fear of G-d, Yiras Hashem, is one of the basic concepts in Judaism!

There are two levels of fear of G-d. The lower level is fear of Divine punishment. The higher level is the awe we feel before G-d's majesty and mystery.
Rabba bar Rabbi Huna said, "A man who knows Torah but does not fear G-d is like a treasurer who has the key to the inner vault, but not to the outside gate!"
Pirke Avos, Ethics of our Fathers, says, "Know what is above you: An Eye that sees. An Ear that hears. And all your deeds are written in a book!"
