このコンテンツについて
The wisdom of children's unbridled joy holds a secret we adults have forgotten. While watching his kids play outdoors, our host recalls a powerful story about the Heilige Briskerov (Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik) that fundamentally challenges how we approach our lives.
Sitting on a porch observing children cartwheel and play with rambunctious energy, the Brisker Rov was asked why these kids were making so much noise. His response? These children, in their pure, unfiltered happiness, represent what adults should aspire to be. Drawing from Koheles (Ecclesiastes), he explained that "God created man straight" but we've burdened ourselves with countless calculations and complexities that drain our natural joy.
This episode explores how we've lost the straightforward approach to life that children naturally embody. Where a child finds complete happiness in running through sprinklers or sliding down a slip-and-slide, adults overthink everything – from social dynamics to self-perception. The Brisker Rov suggests we should metaphorically "cartwheel to work," maintaining youthful exuberance in our prayers, work, and daily activities. Instead of chasing complexity, we're invited to return to basics: finding satisfaction in following Hashem's will and receiving our spiritual "sticker" for a day well lived.
Have you lost your childlike wonder? Perhaps it's time to shake off the "overcomplicatedness" of adult life and rediscover the simple joys that make life meaningful. Listen now and rediscover what it means to approach life with authentic, uncomplicated happiness.
