Description

The essence of being a Jew is being an emotionally aroused person. Depression leads to seeking to lose oneself. Distraction from emotional pain causes deeper pain. Doing mitzvos excites the soul. Torah and mitzvos are the food of a Jew. Having pleasure on Shabbos and Yom Tov. Emunah (faith) comes from talking about and feeling G-d. The crucial ingredient missing in Jewish education.
