In Chabad Chassidus, the need for divine service with joy and gladness of heart is emphasized, and sadness is rejected. There is also much discussion about working on middos. However, unlike Mussar and Kabbalah, it does not negate the body or disconnect the neshamah from physical reality but teaches the person to strengthen form over matter. | In Chabad Chassidus, the need for divine service with joy and gladness of heart is emphasized, and sadness is rejected.
