Day 67: Enjoy, Enjoy
Judaism is unique for many reasons. One of my favorite aspects of Judaism is that, on different occasions, we are commanded to be happy. The value today focused on a different reason why Judaism is unique. Our religious men and scholars do not live lives of asceticism. To paraphrase Rambam, people should not force themselves to live lives without things they enjoy or would get pleasure from.
So in short, don't be afraid to enjoy things in life. We should be conscious of those who have less and we should act morally and generously, but we should also feel free to enjoy what we have.
