Purim-Ki Tisa: 03/11/09

People say "if I was happy I would be joyful." But if they were joyful they would be happy -- The Mystics

Are you a joyous person? Do we have control over our happiness, or are some of us simply hardwired with "sad" genes? Do you bring joy to other people? Could the following statement be attributed to you: "Life is so difficult, I'm all alone, I can't find a person who I "feel at home with," someone I can trust, marry and spend the rest of my life with. I'm, just so sad so much of the time..." Did you ever consider that sadness breeds sadness, and joy breeds joy? Are there ways to generate joy even when we're not in the mood? It's one thing to be joyful for one day (Purim), but can we carry that feeling into our regular lives?

Join Rabbi Jacobson as he teaches us how to perpetuate the joyful power of Purim into our mundane lives. Learn how to access joy even when you don't feel happy.
