Ki-Savo—Heartfelt Joy
Devorim 28:47 "on account of the fact that you did not
serve HaShem with joy ...these curses will befall you)
A widow once approached Rav Chaim of Tzanz, known by his
great work the “Divrei Chaim” as he was sitting in conference with
Rav Sholom from Kaminka. She bemoaned her miserable lot in
life. Her husband's untimely demise had left his family bereft of a
breadwinner. She and her children lived in abject poverty. The
final straw was that their landlord was trying to eject them from
their home. Her incessant weeping took its toll on Rav Sholom,
who broke down and began to cry with her. However the Divrei
Chaim declared in a joyful tone ,"Do not worry. Go home. I am
confident things will work out for you." After she had left, Rav
Sholom, asked the Divrei Chaim how he could retain his happy
disposition after listening to the widow's tale of woe. He re-
sponded: "To be able to intercede on behalf of another Jew one
must be filled with joy. After all, it is difficult to "sell something"
that one does not believe in!”
