One must not mix one rejoicing with another

One must not mix one rejoicing with another

By extension: one must not mix two separate matters. Each celebration deserves its own proper attention. (Originally: it is forbidden to hold a festive religious event, such as a wedding, on a joyous festival, because each joy should receive its own unique attention.)

("We do not marry women during the festival...for one must not mix one rejoicing with another" - Moed Katan 8b; and: "My birthday falls on Shushan Purim...and we do not mix one rejoicing with another" - S. Ben Zion / Nefesh Re'tzutzah)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אֵין לְעַרְבֵּב אֶת שְׁנֵי הָעִנְיָנִים יַחַד. לְכָל שִׂמְחָה יֵשׁ לְהַעֲנִיק אֶת תְּשׂוּמַת הַלֵּב הָרְאוּיָה לָהּ (בַּמָּקוֹר: אֵין לַעֲרֹךְ שִׂמְחַת מִצְוָה כְּמוֹ חֲתֻנָּה בִּימֵי הַחַג הַשְּׂמֵחִים, כִּי כָּל שִׂמְחָה צְרִיכָה לְקַבֵּל אֶת תְּשׂוּמַת הַלֵּב הַמְּיֻחֶדֶת לָהּ).

("אֵין נוֹשְׂאִים נָשִׁים בְּמוֹעֵד...לְפִי שֶׁאֵין מַעַרְבִין שִׂמְחָה בְּשִׂמְחָה"- מוֹעֵד קָטָן ח ע"ב, וְכֵן:"יוֹם הֻלַּדְתִּי בְּשׁוּשָׁן פּוּרִים...וְאֵין מְעַרְבְּבִים שִׂמְחָה בְּשִׂמְחָה"-ש' בֶּן צִיּוֹן/ נֶפֶשׁ רְצוּצָה)
