Dear Rabbi Yacov Barber,
It is great hearing from you such a wise speech. Actually “I listened as faster as I could too…:)
Your thoughts are very nice. Currently I am studying about agape love and your definition of happiness might also fit the definition of Love (or G-d). The opposite of happiness might not be sadness, but non-happiness or apathy. There might be also many paths to get a love state of mind: think about lovely ideas, talk only about nice things that make you feel love, and act as you love the world and people.
Thanks ! Have a wonderful day,
Alicia

I loved this. So succinct in a short time. Every word was significant. I related very much to the difference between children and adults re bearing grudges. This was the first video of yours I have watched and I look forward to watching more. Reply
G-d Bless you, Rabbi Barber
I always look for your videos. I love every one of them.
I just do. K'siva v'chasima shana tova

I believe it is a gift. When I receive a gift I am always happy. Better for me to recognise the gift, then pretend joy.
