It Is a Very Great Mitzvah to Always Be Happy!
Sometimes we need a reminder that joy isn’t only something that happens when everything is going our way.
One of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov’s most beloved teachings is:
“It is a very great mitzvah to always be happy!”
In Likutey Moharan II, Torah 24, Rebbe Nachman teaches about the extraordinary importance of living with simchah—joy—and of actively working to distance ourselves from sadness and melancholy. Sefaria
For Rebbe Nachman, happiness wasn’t merely a pleasant feeling to enjoy when life was easy. Simchah was part of the avodah itself.
Life has its difficulties. There are disappointments, struggles and days when joy doesn’t arrive on its own. Rebbe Nachman’s teaching challenges us not simply to wait for happiness, but to seek it, cultivate it and make room for it.
A Celebration of Simchah
That spirit inspired the artwork on this mug.
The colourful illustrated scene is filled with movement, music, dancing, friendship, Torah and the beauty of Jerusalem. Men join together in joyful dance while musicians play, surrounded by brilliant flowers, warm Jerusalem stone and the golden light of a new day.
It is a picture of simchah that feels alive.
And at its centre are Rebbe Nachman’s unforgettable words:
“It is a very great Mitzvah to always be Happy!”
— Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
The teaching is sourced in Likutey Moharan II, 24:1. Sefaria
More Than a Coffee Mug
Imagine beginning your morning with these words beside you.
Coffee before work. Tea while learning. A quiet drink during a busy afternoon.
The message remains the same:
Don’t wait for the perfect day before allowing yourself to find joy.
Look for the good. Appreciate what you have. Sing. Learn. Connect with others. Do a mitzvah. Bring some light into somebody else’s day.
And begin again.
That makes this mug especially meaningful as a gift—for a friend who brings happiness to others, someone who needs encouragement, a teacher, student, family member, or simply someone who loves the teachings of Rebbe Nachman.
Beautiful, Meaningful — and Made for Everyday Use
Whether you’re drinking your morning coffee, evening tea, or something in between, this mug is made to become part of everyday life.
Its sturdy ceramic construction has a smooth, glossy finish, allowing the colourful illustrated artwork to stand out beautifully. The vivid print is designed for regular use, and the mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe.
And perhaps that’s exactly where Rebbe Nachman’s teaching belongs—not hidden away for special occasions, but present in the ordinary moments of the day.
A cup of coffee.
A little Torah.
A reminder to find the joy.
