DVAR TORAH

         

 

V’SAMACHTA BECHUL HATOV ASHER NATAN LECHA HASHEM ELOKECHA.

“And you shall rejoice with all the good that Hashem has given you.”

      This is Mitzvah. We are obligated to feel joy with what we were given by Hashem. Why do we need a directive to rejoice since we should automatically be happy when we have good things? Chazal tells us that man’s nature is to constantly want more than he presently has. As the Mishna in Avot tells us “He who has one hundred wants two hundred”. Our moments of joy are mixed with a sense of sadness over what we lack. The Torah therefore commands us to rejoice with what we have. We should strive to feel a joy that is complete. Lack of joy with what we have is destructive both physically and spiritually.

     The Torah is sending us a powerful message. If you think you will be happy only if you have more, you will never be happy. When you finally get what you were hoping for, you will once again focus on getting more and will feel unhappy until you acquire even more. Since happiness is dependent on the present state of mind, you can only be happy if your mind is focused on appreciating what you presently have and what you are presently doing. Just having “things” will not make you happy. We find clearly in Perkai Avot that “the wealthy person is a person who experiences joy with what he has.” Regardless of what you have, you are only wealthy if you have mastered the ability to appreciate what you have.

     We Jews living in America today have everything that materialism can offer. Rarely in history did the Jews experience such wealth and affluence to the degree that we have today. One would think that we should be living in a time where everyone is smiling from ear to ear all day, but unfortunately the contrary is true. Everyone is so stressed out in today’s society. Why? Technically we can have anything we want if we are willing to work that extra hour. All too often we end up finding ourselves in the midst of a difficult rat race, thinking that attaining more will bring us the happiness we were searching for. If we learn to enjoy what we have now in the present we will

solve much of our own problems and we will have attained true happiness. 

Wishing everyone a Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Yisroel Perelson and Family!
