if you knew that you were about to be judged by the most expert judge in the world… – he will look with complete objectivity at everything you have done and decide based on that, how should be your reward – well we are approaching Rosh Hashanah and on Rosh Hashanah God does that – But what exactly is the reward? – if I didn’t put Teffilin, will my hand (in God-forbid, Islamic fashion, get severed)? If I do put on Teffilin will I live longer? – The Rebbe Rashab teaches, we are not being judged so much for what we didn’t do rather on a single thing – how much love, how much light, how much goodness, how much empathy have you offered? and to the extent that this is what you have done, is the extent that it will be returned
