Purim Koton and the Concept of Joy

We can connect this with the aspect of Purim Koton (which is when the above mentioned Maamor starting with the verse Vekibel Hayehudim was actually delivered) in which the concept of טוֹב־לֵב מִּשְּׁתֶה תָּׂמִּיד “He who has a cheerful heart always has a feast” is emphasised.

Concept of:

That which it says in the Possuk in Mishlei (15:15) כָּׂל יְּמֵי עָּׂנִּי רָּׂעִּים, וְּטוֹב לֵב מִּשְּׁתֶה תָּׂמִּיד “All the days of a poor man are wretched, but he who has a cheerful heart always has a feast”.

Emphasised:

Because there are two opinions whether to increase in drink and in joy on Purim Koton, and the Remoh compromises that one should increase in his meals so as to satisfy the stringent opinions and concludes with this same verse: טוֹב־לֵב מִּשְּׁתֶה תָּׂמִּיד .
