Are We Happy Yet?
In this sicha, the Rebbe shows the unique approach of the Alter Rebbe: true simcha is not the soul celebrating while the body tags along. Real joy is when the body and soul are part of one complete experience.
Food, wine, comfort, celebration, and physical enjoyment are not separate from Hashem. When connected to Torah and mitzvos, they become part of the joy itself — a blended, whole Jewish experience of happiness.
