When Adar enters we increase Joy. Yet how can we be happy when we live in such troubling times? From rockets falling daily on Sderot, to the brutal massacre of 8 of our Yeshiva Bochurim in Yeshivat Merkas HaRav -- It has been difficult to feel joy. In the midst of it all many are troubled by the recent ban by Gadolim on a concert in America.
This Shmuz attempts to make sense of the events we are living through, and offers a perspective.
