It’s the month of Adar

And we are instructed to be happy. Contrary to other Jewish statutes so carefully prescribed, there are no rules or definitions for happiness, not even a general direction to follow. As Rabbi Chaim Elazar Shapiro comments, “Anything that makes us happy – this will be the commandment, and all should explore their own personal ways of making themselves happy.” So we should just figure out what makes us happy, what motivates us to feel good, optimistic and positive, focus on this and be happy.

To inaugurate this joyful month, we shall devote this Newsletter to the Chubeza angle on happiness. We asked you to tell us what makes you happy about the Chubeza boxes, and you sent us beautiful, happy, funny and smile-inducing responses. Here they are, for all of us to rejoice:

What makes us happy? We are overjoyed to our tippy-toes and our hearts make a jump and a thump when we receive your positive feedback and kind words. So we started our month of Adar with a great big smile. Hopefully, you’re smiling now too.

Have a great month!

Alon, Bat Ami, Dror, Yochai and the entire Chubeza team
