25 Adar: Acts of Joy
ACTS OF JOY
It is not enough to simply feel joyful; we must connect this feeling to action. Simply put, everyone should commit to add a little bit in daily Torah study and in daily charity. Both of these are related to joy. Regarding Torah, Tehillim (19:9) states, “The laws of G-d are upright and gladden the heart.” Likewise, one must give charity with joy, as Devarim (15:10) states, “Do not be grieved when you give.”
The additional joy that this resolution brings will give us the ability to break out of all boundaries, especially the bonds of exile, and we will experience the complete Redemption with Moshiach immediately.
