[Avodah] Sukka must be kosher for sleeping?

[David Riceman]

From: Zev Sero<zev at sero.name>
: It depends, of course, on how unpleasant it is in the  first place; also
: on how long one must go on liking it.  But one can  often psych oneself
: into enjoying otherwise unpleasant experiences for a  short while; alcohol
: helps, as do being with a group who are all doing it  together, and an
: inspiring speaker or leader.  ....

<<Is psyching oneself into enjoying something really "akh sameiach",
or simchah at all, for that matter?>>

Well, yes.  "Ein simchah elah b'basar vayayin" means that meat and wine induce simchah.  See
the Dubner Magid's book Kol Rina V'Yeshua on Esther s.v. "al kein hayehudim haprazim" (it's on
p. 192 in the edition I own).

And the Dubner Maggid was a misnaged who wrote at least one sefer mussar.
