Day 60 of 60 Days ״Adar״ Increase Happiness Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz — ‎משנכנס אדר מרבים בשמחה יום ס

the question is asked a simple question if simcha is so important how come it's not a straight out commandment in the torah to be happy yes it says in the torah because you didn't serve god with happiness and the prophets king david says to serve god with happiness but how come it's not a straight out commandment that's hard to be happy so that some cipher says and he explains as follows because if there would be a commandment to be happy what is the commandment the stress already i have to do it am i doing it right god didn't want us to have stress he wanted us really to be happy so therefore he didn't command us to be happy the behind crime says another interesting reason because when a person does a mitzvah that you're commanded to do when you get the reward you know comes in the world to come however when you do a commandment when you do something because you love hashem then you get the reward in this world so you see hashem wants us to really to be happy with no stress and to receive the reward in this world that's why there's no commandment to be happy but being happy will give us the greatest connection with hashem true happiness with all the great rewards in this world so let's hope and pray we continue to have somehow without any stress just like hashem one said true happiness and we bless with the greatest blessings continue with a khalid year full of happiness
