The Torah gives a frighteningly simple answer: \"Because you did not serve Hashem with joy.\"\nRav Shlomo Katz delves into this difficult concept through the lens of the Rambam and the Klausenberger Rebbe. We learn that sadness is considered the \"greatest sin\" not because it is forbidden, but because it is a dead end that implies Hashem made a mistake.\nRav Shlomo explains the difference between being a \"Nebach\" (victim) and being a partner. We explore how asking Hashem for help with joy opens gates that tears of despair can never reach. \nThis episode is a guide to changing our frequency from serving God as a burden to serving Him as the greatest privilege in the world.\n -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \nFor more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.com\nJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/e1OjSrbTTgrC3g4TzMJOUu5m0EnodcEw3lua42AtTYc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81ZmY3/NmI2ZmZjNjdiMWE1/ZjNhNzIxYTMyN2I5/YzQxNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
