Stay with JOY

25 Adar 5770: According to the teaching of Rebbe Nachman, Whenever a person is within the moments of JOY, then there are no feelings to do wrong. The higher the greatness the stronger the test. Therefore, one who would practice JOY should be aware that the tests that follow will be stronger. Yet, Hashem does not give us a test that we cannot pass. Next week we study Shivron Lev. THANK YOU HASHEM

MORE SIMCHA {J O Y}

24 Adar 5770: Hitbodadot, Talking to Hashem on a daily basis brings us closer to Simcha (Ultimate Joy). Why is JOY so important? Hashem says to us, {Devarim 28:47} "Because you did not serve Hashem your Gd with JOY and with goodness of heart, out of an abundance of everything". JOY therefore is the key to serving Hashem, and Emunah flows from there. THANK YOU HASHEM!

SIMCHA {J O Y}

23 Adar 5770: Had I known then what I know now I'd have entitled my post Besimcha, Emunah, Bitul instead. Thanks to my learning partner Rebbe Nachum of Teverya I have begun a serious research into SIMCHA (J O Y) and how it brings us to Emunah (Faith) which brings us to Bitul (Letting Go, Letting Hashem). I welcome all who wish to help me with my research to send a private e-mail to 8simcha8@gmail.com THANK YOU HASHEM

After we discuss Simcha we shall continue step by step with our Emunah Diet

Emunah Diet: STEP NINE

22 Adar 5770: Step 9 of the Emunah Diet. Introducing Shivron Lev into your life. Rebbe Nachman teaches that a Broken Heart (Shivron Lev) brings one to simcha (J O Y) which then opens the doors wide open for emunah shelaimah (Complete and absolute faith) THANK YOU HASHEM!

~~~
I purposely quoted from Rebbe Nachmen that he felt that shivron lev brings one to ultimate JOY. However, since learning with my learning partner a few weeks ago about this method, we have started a serious research into JOY to see if we can find more tools other than shivron lev to get one to simcha. Soon I will post my findings on Simcha and how it takes us to Emunah. For now, the only source I found to reach the ultimate levels of simcha is through Shivron Lev as Rebbe Nachman points out. I am open to people feeding me sources for my research. Please read tomorrow's, 23 Adar post about my project and why I'm looking more and more into Simcha.
THANK YOU HASHEM
