Joy Breaks Through

Disc 72, Program 285
Event Date: 20 Av 5741 - August 20, 1981
All of Torah and Mitzvos must be done joyously. Maimonides writes that a Jew must strive to emulate King David, who literally “hopped and danced before the L-rd.” Joy must permeate a child’s education. When a child studies Torah and performs Mitzvos with true delight, he inspires his parents to do the same. They are then empowered to go out into the world and stand strong for Jews and Judaism – not, G-d forbid, feeling inferior to non- Jewish culture or fearing non-Jews… When Jews stand firm with the strength of Torah and Mitzvos – pleasantly and peacefully – then the entire world will come to follow G-d’s ways. The first step is the establishment of “G-d’s Legions” – the peaceful army of Jewish children who study G-d’s Torah and fulfill His Mitzvos with utmost joy. |
