Making a Joke Out of the World and Laughing Our Way Towards Redemption with the Baal Shem Tov

Om avsnittet

Reb Joey explores the Baal Shem Tov’s healing response to the bitterness, concealment, and seriousness of this world: learning to recognize that the vessels themselves are ultimately expressions of Hashem’s infinite light.

Through teachings on Tisha B’Av, sadness, laughter, and redemption, we discover how holy humor can loosen the grip of fear and hopelessness without denying real pain. By carrying the future laughter of redemption within us now, we begin to see darkness as part of an unfinished story—one whose hidden light will ultimately be revealed.
