QUESTION:
In our generation, is the main avodah to mainly be connected with Hashem, to love Hashem, and to serve Him joyously?
ANSWER:
The Mishnah in the end of Sotah (49a) says that in the ikvesa d’meshicha (the generations preceding Mashiach), “those who fear sin will be disgusted”, and there are those who explained that it means that in the ikvesa d’meshicha, the main emphasis should be on loving Hashem [as opposed to being afraid of Him].
