## In Jewish tradition

Joy shown in worship, in festivals and in loving God's teachings; in the Psalms it is the gladness of the heart that comes from God's commandments.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads rejoicing as a duty at festivals such as Sukkot and Simchat Torah, and sees joy in the commandments as part of serving God.
