In this final VAD on simcha in Alishur. we explore Rav Yisroel Salanter’s three madregos in avodah. awakening emotion. conquering the yetzer. and finally transforming it.

Instead of seeing Musser as fire and brimstone that leads to atzvus. the shiur reframes it as avodah that uncovers the root kochos of a person and redirects them toward kedusha. until the yetzer itself begins to thirst for avodas Hashem.

We also clarify the difference between kvishas hayetzer and tikkun hayetzer. why simcha is both the starting point and the tachlis of avodah. and what it really means to be oseik baTorah in the middle of a full life.
