One of the Pesukim (verses) we recite after blowing the Shofar is בשמך יגילון כל היום , "In Your name we will rejoice all day." Rebbe Nachman points out that the first letters of the words of this verse can be rearranged to form בכיה, crying.
What is the connection between rejoicing and crying?
As we have pointed out before the connection is that they are both expressions of a deep seated desire for connection. Whether it manifests itself as unbridled joy or an outpouring of tears, or both, what we are seeking on Rosh Hashanah is to get in touch with our desire to connect to Hashem.
