The covenant at Mount Sinai was awesome, exhilarating, and both infinitely happy yet fearsome.
It was awesome because the entire nation witnessed God's imposing, earth-shaking presence on Mount Sinai (Exodus ch.19).
It was exhilarating because this was the first and only time that God spoke to an entire assembled nation. Every one of the people, some two million in number, experienced prophecy at this event (Kuzari).
It was infinitely happy because nearness to God goes hand-in-hand with optimism and joy.
It was fearsome because God's presence commands reverence, and because of the great responsibility involved in accepting the Torah.
