Mitzvah G’dolah Lihiyot B’Simcha…..

The annual feeling that we get when Adar approaches lends added meaning to our role as musicians at all types of Smachot. This phenomenon fulfills in the most literal way, the concept of Mi’Shenichnas Adar, Marbin B’simcha. An already joyful occasion becomes even more so. As we add Purim songs to our repertoire, the Simcha quotient just naturally goes up. In the weeks leading up to Purim this music takes on an anticipatory function, while in the last weeks of Adar, it helps us to retain a “taste” of Purim in our Neshamot. No doubt this is also true in the month of Kislev when we add Chanukah Niggunim to our repertoire, but the unbridled Simcha of Adar is different. The springtime and all the accompanying feelings of rebirth, Pesach expectations, and a general sense of hopefulness, make Adar unique. So we look forward to seeing you over the coming weeks, fulfilling “Mitzvah G’dolah Lihiyot B’Simcha” and joining us in trying to bring a bit more Simcha to all our lives.

I’ll be talkin’ to ya’.
