Welcome, dear listeners, to our brief moment of reflection. In Chapter 11 of Tanya, the Alter Rebbe explores the duality of joy and sadness inherent in the human experience. It’s a constant push and pull. We’re encouraged to tap into the inherent joy of our soul, even amidst life’s challenges. How? By recognizing that our essence is deeply connected to god, a source of infinite joy! Remember, just as a spark of a flame naturally rises, so too does our soul yearn to connect with its divine source. This connection, this awareness, is the key to unlocking boundless joy.
