able, subject to a wrathful re-
action from the Almighty (refer
to Devarim. 28).
The alternative to unhappi-
ness with our lives is for us to
demonstrate prominently that
our lives are happy, enjoyable
experiences. Thus, immediately
following the sobriety of the
Rosh Hashanah — Yom Kip-
pur, judgement-atonement de-
pression, the Holy One Blessed
be He gave us a few days to re-
fresh ourselves (i.e. put up the
sukkah and purchase the lulav-
etrog set) and then commanded
us to engage in happiness and
joy.
Breathe deeply, parade
around the bimah from which
the Torah is read, showing off
your beautiful and odoriferous
lulav set. The Talmud compares
our lulav service to a victorious
army just returned from battle,
decorated by their king for their
success and paraded before the
populace in royal splendor.
So too, we, who have just
emerged unscathed from our
days in the heavenly court.
We pray that this New Year
5754 will bring the fulfillment
of the many prophecies read in
recent weeks, predicting peace,
security, happiness and good
health for all of mankind. ❑
