The month of Adar (Pisces), which begins today, is a very important one. The Kabbalists teach that as this months begins, the gates of joy and happiness are opened. There is a great opportunity to bring much joy into our lives this month. My father (The Rav's) teacher taught that, "Happiness is a supernal matter, a gift given to us if we earn it through our spiritual work and growth."

Happy New Month,

Michael
