Simchah - It's Not Just Happiness
We go to smachot; we wish each other chag sameach; but do we really understand the profound meaning of living in a steady state of joy? How is simchah, joy different from - and far superior to - the more fleeting and elusive emotion of happiness? How can one have simchah even during times of sadness and even mourning? How is simchah cultivated through our holiday celebrations, through such practical mitzvot as mezuzah, the laws of family purity, and through significant rites of passage as britkj milah, pidyon haben, and more?
In his refreshingly practical style, Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski M.D. has produced an unparalleled work on simchah, the single character trait that may be the secret to success in all aspects of observance and learning. A fast read with a heavy emphasis on "how to," this is a Dr. Twerski book you'll be recommending to friends and family for years to come.
About the author: Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski was a Rabbi and a psychiatrist who authored over 60 popular books on a variety of Jewish topics as well as psychology. He has helped thousands of people worldwide through his work.
