0:00 'The sound of song and salvation is in the tents of the righteous.' May Hashem, blessed be He, bless you and give you joyous occasions and salvations and good tidings, to continue to reveal His kingship and His light, blessed be He, in all the worlds. This joy is made through all these days, in the seven days of feasting. This was instituted for them by Moshe Rabbeinu - he instituted for the Jewish people the seven days of mourning and the seven days of feasting.
0:28 The joy... already when the Jewish people were in the land of Egypt they rejoiced... Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, in chapter 16 - it is written that they made a celebration there; the Jewish people rejoiced with great joy, as when Yaakov Avinu married Leah and made seven days of feasting. He made a great celebration in those days, and through this the Jewish people would rejoice and make this celebration all the days, and keep them, for every day one merits to rise and to accomplish - as Rabbi Avraham Yaakov of Sadigura writes: one merits to attain the levels and the deeds of the tzaddik of the generation.
1:05 At the time of the chuppah, the groom can attain levels of the tzaddik of the generation, in order to come close to Hashem, blessed be He; to draw down holiness and purity and cleaving, and to love Hashem, blessed be He, more than anything else in the world; to show Hashem that all his love and all his heart is only for cleaving to Hashem, blessed be He. May we merit, with Hashem's help, the complete geulah, and may joyous occasions multiply in your home, and may the Holy One, blessed be He, give you blessing from Heaven, all the blessings and the good influences, the good that is seen and revealed, out of joy and goodness of heart.
1:38 Blessed are you to Hashem, Maker of heaven and earth.
