Description

When we become more refined and sensitive, then yirah, which is the sense of meekness, appears. Jews naturally have the contradictory characteristics of boldness and meekness. In order to develop yiras Hashem (fear of G-d) , we firstly have to tone ourselves down and to eat, drink, speak, and act calmly. Yirah comes from a subtle and delicate sense in our soul.
