Welcome, dear listeners, to another illuminating journey into the depths of the human experience. In Chapter 12 of Tanya, the Alter Rebbe explores the nature of joy. He explains that true joy is not dependent on external circumstances but emanates from the deepest recesses of our soul—our connection with god. Just as a spring of water continuously flows regardless of external factors, so too can our inner joy remain constant even amidst life’s challenges. This profound insight reminds us that even in moments of difficulty, a wellspring of happiness resides within, waiting to be tapped. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
