As we enter the month of Adar, Chazal teach: Mishenichnas Adar marbin b’simcha when Adar begins, we increase joy. But what does that actually mean when life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming?
In this powerful episode, Linda explores the Torah framework behind simcha, revealing that joy is not an emotion we wait for but a spiritual action we choose. Drawing from the Gemara, Rambam, Zohar, Baal Shem Tov, and Rav Nachman, this class explains how emotional contraction blocks blessing and how intentional joy creates spiritual expansion.
Through the practical metaphor of the closed fist versus the open hand, you will learn how resentment, comparison, and chronic stress tighten the soul, while gratitude, movement, and trust open the vessel for divine flow.
This episode introduces a simple but transformative Adar practice:
daily movement, daily gratitude, and honest tefillah designed to shift both spiritual and emotional reality.
If you have ever wondered how simcha can coexist with struggle, this conversation offers a deeply grounded Torah perspective with real, actionable steps for everyday life.
Perfect for listeners seeking emunah, spiritual growth, practical chizuk, and meaningful preparation for Purim and the month of Adar.
