welcome to the weekly text-based Tanya class that means we are studying Tanya the holy book of Tanya every single holy word we started over a year ago some people are new we'll catch you up a little bit um what chapter are we on 28th very good okay yes we are on chapter 28. okay just for context in chapter 26 we began discussing the issue of joy and things that interfere with our joy and we establish the importance of Joy just for review why is it important to be joyful why is it important everyone wants to be happy but why as Jews according to Tanya is it important to be happy it breaks down barriers okay kind of yeah it's not it's not wrong it's not wrong uh that's like the most on the nose like yeah like everything done joyfully is done better yeah everything done joyfully is done better remember Tanya is a manual for how to serve Hashem so at the point we get to a chapter 26 he says okay and now every other every other tool that I've given you so far in the first 25 chapters will only really be successfully implemented if you do so joyfully because everything you do joyfully is done better if you do something and you're sluggish and you're feeling down and you're feeling heavy
