Rosh Chodesh Adar I Tov!!!! Wishing everyone a blessed and very very happy month of Adar. Our Sages teach that when the month of Adar enters one must increase his joy and this month of Adar I is an added month in the JEWISH leap year with two months of Adar, adding more joy to the increased joy .
The Jewish leap year, which occurs seven times in a 19 year cycle, aligning the Jewish lunar based month (which is 354.37 days) with the solar year (365.25 days) and seasons.
Are you happy?
According to Chassidic teachings, happiness is the natural state of being. A healthy baby is a happy baby. As one grows and matures and life kicks in and our perception of reality changes,our happiness can be sabotaged.
Our feelings come from our thoughts, so all sadness begins in our mind. One must guard his thoughts with his life, by training our mind to always look at the good, by giving the benefit of the doubt to others, by not allowing negativity to enter this sacred space.
This doesn’t mean that we will live in denial of situations that we have to confront, but if we always rise above the situation and look at it from a place of understanding,faith and trust in G-d, the outcome of our thoughts will be very different and our feelings too.
