Chadu hashta, b'hai shata (Rejoice now, at this most propitious time)
d'vei ra'ava v'leit za'afin (in which there is favor, but no anger)
Each of us has an hour in which there is "no anger" – a moment of introspection in the Torah; A moment at a Shabbat meal with our loved ones; a moment of success in which our dreams come true. The problem is that we are immediately disturbed by the moment after; from the grinding routine; from the Saturday night news.
So let yourselves rejoice at this time, when there is favor and no anger – delve deeper and deeper into the Torah; surround yourself as much as possible with people who fill you with joy; extend seuda shlishit on Shabbat; listen to the news as little as possible. Slowly but surely, this hour of favor will expand to your whole life; and you will see that
K'rivu li, chazu cheili (come close to me, see my strength)
d'leit dinin ditkifin (for there are no harsh judgements).
