Wishing everyone a Shabbat Shalom! To continue with our theme of increasing our Joy in the month of Adar, one of the biggest joy robbers is lack of Shalom (peace). It is very important to choose our battles and before engaging in discussion with someone balance it asking yourself “what do I gain by this?” Most likely the answer will be “Nothing”. Shabbat is the day in which we let the world be, we usher it lighting Shabbat Candles which light our homes with peace, make Kidush and hamotzi and have a beautiful meal with songs and beautiful devar Torah. We are not thinking about the week or anything mundane, we are immersed in an island of peace for 25 hours and we are able to experience true Joy.
