Happiness is a state of mind -- and the state of a person’s happiness can be determined by a person’s actions, according to researchers who have studied the issue. A combination of unknown factors, including deliberate activities geared towards increasing that “feel good” feeling, have all been credited with increasing happiness.

One newly-revealed happiness-growing technique can be found right here at Israel National News on a new page called Joys R Us.

Is there going to be a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in the family? A wedding coming up? Did someone get engaged last night? How about a special “mazel tov” for a graduation, or that special someone’s birthday… or a birth announcement for the newest member of the family? New arrivals on aliyah are especially moving, and merit an exciting message of welcome.

Best bet: share it! Go to the new Joys R Us site and let the world know about that special bit of happiness in your life.

Joys R Us is the page where our illustrious readers can share their joyous events with others, and even add a special icon to characterize the message.
