This class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Tetzaveh, 11 Adar I, 5784, February 20, 2024, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
The class explores the end of the Code of Jewish Law on the availability of constant bliss, the joy of the month of Adar, and the grief of the month of Av. We explore the enigmatic Talmudic story of Reb Akiva's visit to Rome and why he laughed, the explanation of the Alter Rebbe on bliss and pain, and the exchange between the Rebbe and Eli Wiesel on the question of the Holocaust, and why Jews have not lost their faith, even in the face of such adversity.
We finally explain how pain and joy merge together in the profoundest experience of the soul's bliss.
