<h2>Pathways to the Heart</h2><h3>From the Words of HaRav Yoram Abargel zt”l</h3><p>The vitality and lifeblood of life is joy.</p><p>True joy is attained by nullification and self-defacement before G-d, without this feeling, joy is not attainable or possible.</p><p>Thus, joy is essentially an expression of nullification. Thus, the attribute of Chochmah - Wisdom, which is characterized by nullification, is followed by the attribute of Binah - Understanding, which is expressed through joy.</p>
