Ki Savo – Is It Really a Great Mitzvah to Be Happy All the Time?

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 5-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 8/28/26 titled: Ki Savo – Is It Really a Great Mitzvah to Be Happy All the Time? Rebbe Nachman and the Rambam both make statements about the role of simchah in serving Hashem. Both statements are problematic in different ways, especially in light of a key pasuk.
