[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה כ"ג - לַהֲפֹךְ יָגוֹן וַאֲנָחָה לְשִׂמְחָה]
שַׂמֵּחַ נֶפֶשׁ עַבְדֶּךָ כִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה נַפְשִׁי אֶשָּׂא. אָגִילָה וְאֶשְׂמְחָה בְּחַסְדֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתָ אֶת עָנְיִי יָדַעְתָּ בְּצָרוֹת נַפְשִׁי.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Transforming Depression into Joy*
When people are happy and begin to dance, if they see a sad person standing off to the side, they pull him into the circle as he leaves his depression outside the circle.
But it is a greater accomplishment to pull depression itself into the circle and transform it into joy.
There is sadness from the Side of Evil that does not want to be a chariot for holiness. It therefore flees, and so it must be forced into holiness and joy.
**Strengthening and Increasing Joy**
“Give joy to the soul of Your servant — because, HaShem, I lift my soul to You!” “I will exult and rejoice in Your kindness, for You have seen my affliction. You have known the troubles of my soul.”
