DVAR TORAH Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are holidays of judgment, a season of great worry and trepidation. If so, why do we prepare for these days with the same joy and anticipation as we approach any other Jewish holiday?
Rabbi Herschel Schachter suggested that the answer is found in an essay by the Chazon Ish entitled "Emunah and Bitachon" [lit. "Faith and Trust"]. There, the Chazon Ish explained that when we ask a sick person to have "bitachon," it doesn't mean he should be convinced that he will recover. That's impossible, for who can be sure of such a thing! Rather, "bitachon" means to live with faith and believe that G-d has complete control over everything in the world. "If G-d wants me to live, be healthy and happy, then there is nothing anyone can do to negate that. If for some reason, G-d wants me to suffer, then we should accept it with joy, knowing that everything that G-d does, whether we understand it or not, is for good."
This, too, is true of the High Holidays. We dress in our finest clothes and prepare sumptuous feasts -- not because we are convinced that G-d will judge us favorably. Instead, our confidence consists of our belief that G-d is all-powerful, that His will shall prevail, and that whatever He does is always for good.
