    Where baal teshuvas stand, tzaddikim can't stand

    And this was true for Rebbe Yehuda Hanasi also when contemplating the rasha in the story.

    Maybe, for Rebbe it would be better to say: "where baal teshuvas stand, rebbe can't stand IT!"

    Some pains cannot be expressed in words

    So we cry. 

    And that's why we blow Shofar, the primordial cry.

    It is only pain (aka "trauma") that drives one to teshuva

    But......especially nowadays, aren't there  many superficial wealthy, healthy, happy go lucky people who, at least that they are aware of, do not have pain or trauma in their lives (yet)?

    "Most plans don't work out"

    "Mensch Trachtenberg, oon Gott lacht", i.e. man plans but Hashem laughs (has the last laugh and determines the outcome of man's plans).

    But.....here were talking about Hashem's own plan! He planned and we messed it up (temporarily). If He had the plan, who determines outcome? Man? (Reverse of the expression "mensch tracht...")

    Hashem is vulnerable on Rosh Hashana

    Because He is dependant on the will of the yidden to continue the connection. 

    But. ...doesn't He know the outcome before it happens, is above time, and knows that the yidden will again desire to reconnect?

    And....what if some want to reconnect abd others don't? He goes by majority? 

    When the first yidden in Fiji blow Shofar Rosh Hashana morning, does that seal it for the rest of the yidden and creation?
