This Sunday we celebrate Purim, we’ll be singing, dancing, laughing, and most importantly we will be happy. We all know the phrase Mishe Nichnas Adar Marbin B’Simcha, when the month of Adar comes around the Jewish people raise their level of happiness almost inherently. This year since we had two months of Adar due to the leap year, we can now only barely recall those first times this year almost two months we sang this exciting song. Some of us can’t even imagine the feeling of spiritual happiness we felt over a month ago. Although you can use the extra month as an excuse to not feel the Simcha, this year we can use Purim as a catapult to sling shot whatever Simcha we have left and pull it along further and further, maybe even until Simhat Torah, where we rejoice over the giving of the Torah, the basis of our religion and Purim.
