Constant joy: the essence of Purim Katan 🥳

Live Kabbalah

What is the essence of joy? The holiday of Purim teaches us that there is a constant joy of self beyond our knowing and doing. This joy is interconnected with our inner child, whose birthright is joy. Purim Katan offers us to connect to the constant and subtle joy of being in the moment and harnassing the opportunity to live with an open mind and open heart throughout the year. This minor holiday is a major reminder for the entire year of the secret of continual joy.

Since this year is a leap year on the Jewish calendar, we celebrate two months of Adar. The Talmud says that we celebrate Purim on the second Adar.

Yet the Rema in Shulchan Aruch says that one should increase in joy on this day and ends off the first book of "Ohrah Hayim" with the words of King Solomon "וְטֽוֹב־לֵ֝֗ב מִשְׁתֶּ֥ה תָמִֽיד" - "A glad heart has a continual feast."

The Chassidic masters explain that the first Adar represents a more grand level of joy while the first Adar represents finding joy within the ordinary and the present moment.

In this class, explore the joy of the ordinary, exploring Purim Katan and our weekly Torah portion of Tezave.
