[Music] you have pointed out that it says when we enter of we lessen our semra and I had a friend of mine who had a wonderful mind at being able to see you know those cute little contradictions in life you know and he said the happiest day of the year is approaching he says the happiest day of the year is of it says when you enter our other and nowhere does it say to stop so you get happier and happier if you are there through Nissan through ER through Sivan through Thomas and then when you head off it says which means that you're going into AV at the peak of your happiness and then you get more and more depressed till other now that's obviously not correct but it is one of those cute kind of observations and uh and the fact of the matter is that simcha is a very uh a very difficult thing under the best of circumstances when I was teaching in North America there was a fellow there who lived in the stockhim and I remember he came to me after class and he says I don't know what to do he says someone in our issue of was killed in a terrorist attack they can have the funeral today and then there's a young man in North America who's getting married tonight he says how do I go from one to the other and the truth of the matter is that that is the constant challenge of a Jew constant challenge would you to be able to go from tragedy to Summer and back and forth
