Post Yom Kippur Joy

Moadim Lesimcha. Now that we have completed Yom Kippur, we are meant to feel an overwhelming sense of Simcha. We are meant to go from one Mitzva to another to keep the momentum going. Most try to immediately work on their Succahs shortly after breaking the fast.In the time of the Beit Hamikdash, there was no happier time of year than Succot. The Gemara tells us that people barely slept the whole week of the holiday because of all of the rejoicing.It is the only holiday that is called זמן שמחתינו, the time of our joy.Just like the people celebrated with the Kohein Gadol until midnight after successfully entering the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, this joy should continue throughout the year. We should always feel Hashem's abundant blessings which will help us maintain this Simcha.
