Simcha - The Tikkun of the 5 Disasters of the 17th of Tammuz
from Breslov Therapy · host Meir Elkabas
The Three Weeks are a time for deep spiritual growth through the paradox of mourning with joy. Rebbe Nachman’s teachings emphasize that despite the sorrow linked to this period—especially the tragedies of the 17th of Tammuz—simcha must remain central. Maintaining joy, even in its minimal form, is essential for personal healing and national redemption. This is achieved through daily gratitude, finding good points (Azamra), dancing and music, telling jokes, and focusing on the joy of the future. These five methods directly counteract the five historic calamities of the 17th of Tammuz. The decline into idolatry, destruction, and despair all stemmed from a loss of joy and faith. Even spiritual mourning must be infused with simcha to break through inner barriers and prepare for the arrival of Mashiach. Joy activates intellectual and spiritual clarity, and that even small expressions of happiness—like humor or clapping—can reverse deep blemishes. The consistency of daily offerings like the Korban Tamid and Modeh Ani reflects the power of steady gratitude and faith. The upcoming Shabbatot of the Three Weeks, among the holiest of the year, are opportunities to elevate sadness into divine joy and rebuild the soul’s inner Temple.Help support Breslov Therapy: linktr.ee/breslovtherapyThis class is based on Likutey Moharan lesson 24.
