Don’t Be Afraid to Let Loose

There is a famous Rambam at the end of Hilchos Lulav that warns not to refrain from getting too much B’simcha, because you may feel you aren’t acting dignified. (Sometimes you may have a point! Ask your Rebbe). He says that you can get punished for not having enough Simcha. Actually, the real Kavod is to get somewhat carried away with your Simcha, like Dovid got carried away, since he served Hashem: מ ֵא ֵה ֵב ֵה out of love. “And those who are afraid to be too light, are: ט ֵפ ֵש ֵים fools and: חֵוֹט ֵא ֵים sinners!”
