| Why are these humorous cartoon images of Chasidic Rebbeim so joyous? Chasidus (Jewish Mysticism), and the deeper meaning of Torah, teach that simcha perpetuates joy, and so the simcha of the dance generates joy and further, radiates it throughout the dancers' daily lives. According to Parshas Shemini of the Midrash, prophecy and the strength of the Shechinah (Divine Presence) rests only on a person who is happy and tranquil. |
