הַכֹּל בִּידֵי שָׁמַיִם חוּץ מִיִּרְאַת שָׁמַיִם

ביטוי (אנגלית)

Everything is in the Hands of Heaven Except the Fear of Heaven

הגדרה (אנגלית)

Everything that happens in the world is according to the will of God, apart from man's ability to choose between good and evil. The fear of God, belief in God, and the observance of the commandments are left to man alone.

("Rabbi Hanina said: Everything is in the hands of Heaven - except for the fear of Heaven, as it is said (Devarim 10) And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of your people, for fear?" - Blessings 33b, and so: "Perhaps, in view of our unique position - you will turn and sing for an hour even this new song, and our 'national' song will return to its drinking and its answer. Everything is in the hands of Heaven!" - Bialik/ Our Youthful Song)
