Ki Tavo: Is Sadness An Aveira?

Why do bad things happen? The Torah gives a frighteningly simple answer: "Because you did not serve Hashem with joy."

Rav Shlomo Katz delves into this difficult concept through the lens of the Rambam and the Klausenberger Rebbe. We learn that sadness is considered the "greatest sin" not because it is forbidden, but because it is a dead end that implies Hashem made a mistake.

Rav Shlomo explains the difference between being a "Nebach" (victim) and being a partner. We explore how asking Hashem for help with joy opens gates that tears of despair can never reach.

This episode is a guide to changing our frequency from serving God as a burden to serving Him as the greatest privilege in the world.
