Ora and Simcha - The 5 Ways to Joy
from Breslov Therapy · host Meir Elkabas
Given in Haverstraw (Monsey)- Many blessings to the Kehal Chasidim of Haverstraw for hosting the classClass dedicated:- food sponsored in memory of R. Klonimus Kalman ben Tzvi HIrsh- food and class sponsored by Fxgenomics L'refuah Shleima for all who need it.- In honor of the upcoming marriage of Kivi Reznick to Shayna Scher in the merit that we have continued Shalom Bayis, Simcha, Parnasah, Bitachon and Yiras Hashem, with happy and healthy children who bring nachas to Hashem and all of Klal Yisroel.Summary of class:The concept of Tikla from the Zohar, where souls are tested before entering a body and can be exchanged if a person is not worthy, along with the idea that each night the soul partially departs and is reintegrated during sleep to allow for daily spiritual renewal and preparation. Spiritual and emotional struggles were presented as coming from forces that drain spiritual energy and attempt to create sadness and depression, understood as tests that must not be allowed to weaken joy, with an emphasis on cultivating “external” or “fake” happiness until it becomes real, and practical tools such as humor, music, gratitude, focusing on positive points, and holding onto hope even in darkness. Life was framed as a mission given by Hashem, requiring a conscious choice to act with simcha and positivity despite obstacles, and the modern spiritual battle was described as primarily internal, like the struggle of Yaakov with the angel, with the Yetzer Hara targeting the final generations through discouragement rather than physical danger. The path forward was defined as prioritizing inner joy, lightness, and emunah, understanding that true tzaddikim can identify and repair deep spiritual roots of sadness, and recognizing that sustained happiness is both a spiritual defense and a key to overcoming contemporary challenges.Help support Breslov Therapy: https://linktr.ee/breslovtherapyThis class is based on Likutey Moharan lesson 24.
