Waves of slander rise from all sides, every day creates more clashes, the statements are harsh. A real celebration. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>However, the general public is disgusted by this entire scum industry, and is already waiting for the elections to be behind us.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>So that we would not sink into despondency, heaven arranged for us to hold the elections in the month of Adar, about which it is said, \"When Adar enters, there is an abundance of joy.\" This month reminds us all of the sources of strength of the people of Israel \u2013 faith, joy, and optimism. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>We must not let ugly politics depress our spirits. We have great building and creative roles, and in order to fulfill them properly, it is necessary that we be filled with joy and energy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><b>They multiply with joy.<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>The Sages&#039; instruction to &quot;increase in joy&quot; proves that joy is the normal and routine state of a Jew. A Jew should always be happy. There are times when &quot;increase in joy&quot; is reduced, and there are times when &quot;increase in joy&quot; is increased. In the month of Adar, we are called upon to have extra and special joy.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>How can we be happy and feel optimistic in the face of a depressing reality? To our aid comes the teachings of Hasidism, which explains in detail that true joy does not contradict the need to deal with difficulties. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>If joy were revelry and frivolity, there would indeed be no room for joy in difficult times, but true joy does not mean ignoring reality, but rather a correct attitude toward it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>Joy is the ability to see the general direction within the cloud of dust. A person who builds his house is filled with feelings of joy and exhilaration, even though the construction involves many difficulties and effort. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>He sees the house being built before his eyes, and this fills him with joy and happiness, making all difficulties seem insignificant and insignificant.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>Joy stems from the recognition that even in difficult moments, God is with us, and He directs events toward the right goals. Even if the path is winding and has ups and downs, in the end we make progress.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>For a moment, we move through the twists and turns and don&#039;t always see the big picture, but our belief is firm that in the end, &quot;the Keeper of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.&quot;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>The people of Israel are marching toward their redemption. If we had won, the path would have been straight, paved, bright, and joyful. Unfortunately, we did not. In reality, the path is filled with suffering and difficulties. But it leads to only one goal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>We do not choose our missions. God has destined us to live in such an orphaned generation and to deal with the waves of embarrassment and confusion. This is our role, this is our historical mission, and we must fulfill it with joy, out of faith that &quot;the Lord will not forsake his people, nor will he forsake his inheritance.&quot;.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><b>The work of joy<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>Indeed, it is not easy to reach this realization, and especially not easy to translate it into actual feelings of joy. It should be known that joy is considered work \u2013 the work of joy. Joy does not always come naturally. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>Sometimes you have to toil and tire yourself out until you awaken feelings of joy and elation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>If God, the Holy One, demands that we increase our joy during the month of Adar, there is no doubt that this is within our power. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"rtl\"><span>We have been given the strength to be happy ourselves and to make everyone around us happy. We choose happiness and it will prevail.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joy is the ability to see the general direction within the cloud of dust.
