PURIM

Purim and Redemption    בס”ד

:

In Tractate (Megilla 12a) The students of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai once asked him, “For what reason were the Jews of that generation in which the Purim story took place deserving of destruction? He answered, “You tell me the answer.” They replied, “Because they participated in the banquet of the evil Achashverosh. “He said to them, “If so, then only those in Shushan should have been killed – not Jews all over the world.” They said, “Then you tell us.” He replied, “Because it was like they prostrated themselves before an image.” And this sin had been common to all the Jews of the time, and hence the decree of destruction on all the Jews everywhere. Let us analyze further this deed for which they were deserving of destruction. Their sin consisted of transferring their relationship with the Holy One, Blessed be He, to some other being. Even if the Jews at the time did not really actually prostrate themselves before a idol or whether this relationship found expression in some other way. Prostrating oneself before an image represents a blurring of the definitions of the life style under the “kingship of Heaven” to another life style. The Jews of this generation embodied a life style that comes at the expense of their relationship with the King of Kings, God. Understand, there is no law in the Shulchan Arukh (book of Torah law) forbidding a person from participating in a royal banquet. The sages emphasize the fact that from a Torah law point of view those who participated in the party of King Achashverosh took pains to observe the laws of “kashrut”. As it’s written, “And the drink was according to the law, no one was forced,” the Midrash comments: “No one forced them to drink gentile wine. In other words, they took the trouble to drink only strictly kosher wine. Another proof of the punctilious observance of religious laws is found later on in the Gemara (Megilla 13b), according to which Haman’s claim to Achashverosh that “their (the Jews’) laws are different from all other nations” was meant to highlight the extent to which their separation and differentness harmed the kingdom. “‘It is not worth the king’s while to bear them” – They ate and drank and despised your kingship, for even if a fly were to fall into the cup of one of them, he would throw they fly out and continue to drink, but if my lord the king would so much as touch the cup of one of them, he would throw it to the floor and would not drink another drop, since that would give it the status of gentile wine. “Halachah” (observance of Torah law) WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, so what was it ?

By the way, the Benay Yesachar says Amalak is a fly. The names in the family of Amalek leading up to Haman are quite interesting his father was Hamdata son of Sorach, son of Buza son of Aplutis son of Yosef son of Yosis son of Pras, son of Madai, son of Balkan, son of Animoros, son of הרידוס, son of shagar, son of Niger, son of Pramshata, son of Vista, son of Agag, son of Somki, son of Amalek son of Eliphaz son of Asev. 4 letters + הטלר= עמלק (Hitler)

As the story opens, we find the story seems to be unfolding in some surrealistic world where the regular concerns of a normal Jew have no place. In this society no one works, no one has any concern for making a living. What are they busy with all day? One long, continuous series of parties and banquets. Imagine: for an entire half-year, “one hundred and eighty days,” they are at one continuous party. Everyone knows, with excessive drinking is unruliness which finds expression in a loss of self-control and restraint. From here we see the transition from a party involving wine to sexual unruliness. This is the other aspect of “partaking of his banquet,” this aspect which brings us closer to the crux of the problem but still remains far from it. The very dedication to a life characterized principally by pleasure seeking, and on such a scale, is the reason for the decree of destruction.

The sages  teach in Megilla 12b: “‘On the seventh day, when the king’s heart was merry with wine’. Rabba said: The seventh day was Shabbat, the day upon which Jews should eat and drink and then speak words of Torah and words of praise to the Almighty. But the pagans eat and drink and then speak lewdness. And so it was at the banquet of Achashverosh the evil one. Some said, ‘Medean women are the most beautiful,’ while others claimed ‘Persian women are most beautiful’. Achashverosh said to them, ‘The vessel which I use , a vulgar way of referring to his wife is neither Mede nor Persian but Chaldean. Would you like to see her?’ They said, “Only if she will  appear before us naked”.

From here we see the transition from boisterousness involving wine to sexual unruliness. This is the other aspect of “partaking of his banquet,” an aspect which brings us closer to the crux of the problem but still remains far from it.

And it must be emphasized that we see here, that most of the Jews in Achashverosh’s time, had absolutely no connection with the Torah lifestyle commanded by God. Life of a Jew MUST be based on a Torah consciousness that “man was born to learn Torah and do the commandments” To glorify the eating of “ma’aser sheni” in Jerusalem and offering “kodshim” at the Holy Temple, But the Jews of this generation did not want to leave their comfortable lives in exile and return to the Holy land even if Nachemyah and Ezra already had asked them to do so. Living a Torah life clearly was not important to the Jews in Shushan, the “city that doesn’t stop” for a hundred and eighty days, at the conclusion of which there is a bonus of an additional week. An existence whose essence and foundation is judged by its degree of pleasure alone, is not a Jewish one.

Let us emphasize once again that the problem was not halakhic in nature. A person may drink wine which is “kosher la-mehadrin” and eat meat which is “glatt kosher” and still, despite all this. A person who holds the view that every excess and every pleasure is permitted – so long as it doesn’t run counter to the laws of kosher foods or the laws of mixing meat and milk – is making a fatal mistake. While taking pains over the tiniest details of the laws of kashrut, one may still completely miss the point of Divine service. The Rambam at the end of his Laws of Kings describes the messianic epoch as a situation in which “all valuables are as common as dust,” a situation in which there are no more political or military considerations, and “The world will be occupied with nothing but knowledge of God, and therefore the Jews will be considered very wise, aware of hidden knowledge, and they will achieve knowledge of their Creator to the extent of human capacity, as it is written, “For the earth will be full of knowledge of God, like the waters cover the sea.”This is not achieved by a secular life of pleasure seeking, which is any but a Jewish life style. Know, God’s world in general is within the “four amot” of “Halakhah”.These we must learn, by providing oneself time to do so.This is the dimension which reflects the truth and existence of the nation of Israel. The abandonment of this framework, the spiritual and a existential decline to a world of eating and reveling, a world of “one hundred and eighty days” of partying and then another seven days of drinking wine – this eating and drinking (despite the “kosher le-mehadrin” label on all the bottles) was the reason for the decree of destruction. Eating and gluttony, in the context of a banquet of such evil people, identifying with such a environment reflects assimilation into the surrounding non Jewish society; a moral neutrality regarding Achashverosh’s world. For this the generation was deserving of destruction.The sages message here is a sobering one ! Know the sages explanation of God’s words from the Bible are pertinent and applicable to every generation, including our own, in our times and in all places Jews live. Jews are not allowed to live empty and wanton lives. The decline from a Torah lifestyle to a world of only pleasure-seeking , is a VERY regrettable process.  We have a  obligation to involve ourselves in the world of Torah , bringing closer the realization of the messianic era. !

Towards the ends of the Megillah, we are told to observe the holiday of Purim on the 14^th and 15^th Adar these days were dedicated to observe and celebrate.  Why were these days chosen?  The Megillah tells us because that is when אֲשֶׁר־נָ֨חוּ בָהֶ֤ם הַיְּהוּדִים֙ מֵא֣וֹיְבֵיהֶ֔ם, the days the Jewish people “rested from their enemies.”  Isn’t that a peculiar reason for having a holiday?  Shouldn’t it be designated based on when they defeated their enemy, triumphed over their enemy, were victorious over their enemy?  Why because asher nachu, they found peace and rest from their enemy? THIS WAR IS NOT OVER , Take heed the attack from Amalek comes unexpected.  The people weren’t prepared.  Amalek came suddenly, from behind, and startles.  Amalek thrives by confusing their enemy, by evoking a sense of panic and hysteria in their opponent.  When they create a paranoia, instill a fear and worry, when they deprive the Jewish people of a sense of tranquility and serenity, they have essentially accomplished their goal; they have won. Everyone in Europe could not believe it could really happen, the Germans were so cultured and civil.

Todays Hamans are the Jew haters of the world,  who seek “to destroy, to murder and to bring to an end all Jews, from young to old”. Somehow they forever with us. until the final redemption will bring a end to them !

It says In Megillah 5a That Rabbi Judah HaNassi planted a tree on Purim. Purim is pretty important, it says in gemora Magilla that 48 prophets and 70 elders including Chagi, Zacharia and Malachi enacted the Holiday of Purim. The day of Purim is likened to the day we received the Torah. On Purim we celebrate the giving of the Oral Torah. As it says in the Magillas “The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them” (Esther 9:27). The Purim episode coincides with the rise of the Anshei Knesses HaGedola. The Rabbinic enactments which reflect the “Torah SheBaal Peh” (Oral Torah) began at this time. In Masechet Shabat it says the Jews experienced the miracle of Purim with such happiness and ecstasy that they took upon themselves to keep the Torah with a whole heart, as the verse says ”they received and established”, as though they were standing on Mt. Sinai. Supernal Purim is the idea of eating the Atz Dat (Tree of Knowledge) and its tikun (correction). Haman is in the Torah as it says ” המן האץ you have been commanded not to eat ” and ” “המן הסלה הזה ” Referring to the rock Moses hit. Ester is in the Torah as it says :

ואנכי הסתר אסתיר פני ביום ההוא על כל הרעה אשר עשה כי פנה אל  אלהים אחרים

Here the word “ester” refers to God hiding his face. It is when God hides his face from Yisrael that there is the greatest troubles to them. Rav Slomo Levinson says this is also referred to when the face is described as שחר or קדרות

The Midrash (Bereishis Rabbah 2:4) explains:

“The world was unformed and void” 

Saying the Torah’s choice of words in Bereishith explicitly evokes our Megillah. The exile of Persia in which the Purim story takes place is characterized by chaos, craziness, frenzy, and hysteria.  When they come to get Haman to bring him to Esther’s party, the Megillah says וַיַּבְהִלוּ לְהָבִיא, they scramble to bring him, they rush and come suddenly and hurriedly.  The galus of Persia is בהלה, the power of Amalek is to take away yishuv ha’daas, to be a disrupter.  This was Haman’s goal, his mission. There is an Amalek energy in us, a negative voice that says, “Panic! Be hysterical, have no peace of mind, be anxious, worried and deprived of happiness and calmness.

Amalak is a spiritual reality that Israel falls to. When they are very far from the way God gives us in the Torah. Instead all their will is occupied in the “Klipot”, and they nourish from his soul. If he knew that he had powers the “klipot” want from him and that their is God in his midst (soul). There would be no place for Amalek. In the Beney Yisachar it is taught that in the time that Israel is not learning Torah. The people then lack “achdut” (unity). With this lack of unity comes the klippa called פירוד (separation). At this time many of the Jewish people become close to gentiles . With the loss of “achdut” among the Jewish people. This is when Amalek comes. Amalek comes because of desecration of Shabot. Desecration of Shabot weakens Yisrael in fighting Amalek. Shabot is the end of the week. But Adar is the last of the Months. From the beginning of this month we increase in joy as in this month secrets are revealed. In all the “Shabotot” of all months, this is the time we have the potential power to blot out Amalak from all the power of the “Shabatot”, God willing as taught is Pri Atz Chyim Shar Shabot. Amalek will be destroyed by the hand of Yosef. The symbol for Yosef is the Ox the “Mazel” the month of Iyar. He will go out to war with Amalek and they will fall by his hand. In Pri Sawdeek to Pessach we learn Amalek is Dat of the “klippah”. “רק רע כל היום” “Only evil all the day” (Genesis 6:5) “Sof Teva”  is עמלק (Amalek). The “klippa” of Amalek makes Jews walk is a Godless way never recognizing his providence in their life. They try to make a man’s “Midot” (attributes) all to evil until he completely rejects the Torah and his obligations to The Divine . This leads to one being arrogant and sad. The “Klippa” of Amalak includes 4 difficult “klipot” called עמל עמק מלק עלק . Amalek comes to weaken our “emunah” (faith) in Hashem. All the evil in its essence is good for when Yakov walks in the crooked way of Asev which is the source of Amalek . Walking in the ways of only this world with out a Holy Godly life. Then Amalek can rule over them. Which keeps them very far from peace which is the end of Amalek. “Achdut” of Yisrael bring a end to Amalek by salvation that come quickly for the sake of His name. All the nations if they choose to start a war with Yisrael they do so for some reason , either political or territorial or personal but Amalek needs no reason to war with Israel except their only desire is to kill Jews and Drive Israel from the world. The Holiness of Aretz Yisrael has the power to itself to subdue Amalak. In the land of Israel in the time before the final redemption Amalek shall kill millions of people here in Aretz Yisrael. This will be in a time when the wicked of Israel open their mouth loudly in public. Israel fighting their enemies will refine them to the level of Avraham. The enemies will not want to fight with them except Amalek. The man who can fight and beat Amalek is one who is not at all “cold” but on fire in his Divine service. Like when they left Egypt no nation wanted to fight Yisrael except Amalek. In the time to come Hashem Himself will take vengeance. He shall take the sins of Yisrael and put them on Amalek and destroying them. On the day of Purim there is given over the “seder” (order) of Chuchmah Elyonah (Supernal Divine Wisdom) for every “tikun” is given. Every year on Purim returns this Great light . It is called “aor reshon” , light of when God said “Let there be light”. This renews the order of “tikun”. This light is not revealed on Shabot or other Yom Tov only on Purim. The “Klipah” of Amalek will cause there to be brought the final Redemption !

All “Simchah” (joy) especially on Purim as their is a special commandment to rejoice on this day, there is aroused joy above. By this “simchah” is only drawn good things from above. This completely brakes off from us the “Klipa” of Amalek from us. As instead they are cleaving in “emunah” in Hashem blessed is He, the life of the worlds. On purim by extending our hand to our friends with “shaloch monot” (gifts to friends) and to poor people with gifts the Shechinah miraculously gives peace and deliverance ! By sharing with one another this creates a complete aspect of “yichud” of “Achdut” of Yisrael. THIS BLOTS OUT AMALEK ! Shalom is a power the opposite of Amalek. The Joy of Purim has the power to rise us to feeling Shalom – PEACE ! This is the power of Mashiach on that great day when we shall all serve Hashem in “simchah”. Rabbi Vallai student of the Ramchal teaches that there will come the good time when it will be proper for Hashem to sustain the world in “Ruach HaKodesh”. The generation of redemption will reach a state of purity and will reach the level of consciousness called “Gadlut” , they will be able to feel Holiness. The bitter will be raised up to the elders uniting them. By love of Hashem out “teshuvah” will aroused in man the hatred of evil. This is the hatred of those who hated our fathers. Remembering the evil they did to us. In this power Hashem shall guard the souls of His pios from the hands of the wicked who seek to harm them and deliver them from harm. Because right before the final redemption there shall be a final refinement., separating out those who truly hate evil. The only one who will be left will be those who love Hashem and hate evil. These will be the ones who oppose those jews whose actions cause harm to the Jewish people. Its is this that will show who is worthy to be saved, who it is who love Hashem and hates evil. Only these will be saved from the evil of those who would have brought evil upon them, Amalek , the philosopher, the “Kofer bi Ikar” (the one who complete rejects the Divine authority of the Torah). He has no fear of God at all and does not believe in the “Mitzvot” (commandments) of the Torah. He only believes in his own thoughts, not the Torah. They have no “Shechinah” with them, only the power of the “klipot”. Therefore we should be completely separate from these people. The “Klippa” of Amalak thrives by making separation among the Jewish people. It is this that gives Amalek power. The saddek even in the midst of these will be unharmed and remain standing. It is his faith that will cause them, Amalek, to be destroyed. The complete evil will reveal the good and immediately the evil “gazarah” (ruling) against Yisrael will then be nullified. The Awesome state of the war in the world. The “Sadeekem” at this time will say that these are just the things we need to take us to the birth of the time of the complete redemption. This war will be between 2 or 3 years long. During this time many things are unseen. At this time one will need to shine great lights so to sweeten things and be able to cry of to Hashem and deliver all Yisrael from the evil “gazarah” (ruling). Every way will be to “Chyim Tovim and Shalom”. It is Written that “The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” (Exodus 17:16) These are the generations of people learning Torah. This is the war that has never stopped and will continue until The Mashiach comes !

In Gemora Sanhedrin we learn that from Purim we begin to discuss the laws of Pessach as is stated by Rabba to Rabbi Nachman. Rabbi Nachman  of Bresslov teaches that Purim itself is a preparation for Pessach, and it protects us from Chumatz on Pessach. The Aor Ganuz teaches that in purim there changes עינוי (troubles) to עונג (pleasure) as פור is “Rachamim” and forgiveness which is made in Purim.

To understand this let us look at the mitzvot of Purim. The Mitzvot of Purim may seem less Mystical than waving the Lulov on Succoth or blowing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, or the Seder of Pessach, but it must be understood that the Mitzvot of Purim such as Hearing the Maggilla, sending gifts to friends, sending gifts to the poor, Having a meal and getting drunk are like the nature of Purim itself, only disguised as something Natural, but being the will of Hakodesh Baruch Hu arise from a lofty place. These mitzvot which seem so common every day things as giving gifts like Purim itself come to remind us of the hidden face of GOD, that happens around us continually. It is known that there is no chance occurrences. GOD controls everything there is, and all that occurs. We see this when looking closely at each of the commandments. How blind are the eyes of men to the wonders of GOD. So much having to do with Purim seems to be hidden, from the absence of Hashem’s name in the Megilla, to the  costumes, the very name of Esther,  in Hebrew comes from the root “hidden”. Esther אסתר, when spelled backwards is “Rosha teva” [the initials of the words for] of “rosh” (head) , “toch” [middle], and “sof “ [end], together with the letter alef, spell Esther [backwards]. Purim is the holiday of hidden things, the invisible hand of God, whose light is hidden throughout the story but is recognized only by those who know to discern it. Like in our own lives ! The “Aor Ganuz” writes that in Machut is called Ester. Here is remembered “Brit Olam”. From this they quickly return to Hashem. The deliverance of Purim took place through a series of  seeming like accidents or coincidences, which were really the hidden working of the Divine hand. Mordecai, was moved by great piety , was very religious and felt a strong  sense of responsibility and caring for his community and people. And through all this, so had to  refuse to submit to flesh and blood whatever the consequences. God brought about a miraculous  redemption in the guise of nature. It seems  Purim reminds us of the subconscious subliminal spiritual  forces active  in the lives of  men that continually create, form, shape all that is.

There is a custom to dress up in a costume on Purim. There are those who say this costume appears like one’s “yetzer hora” (evil inclination). Hopefully by recognizing the evil in oneself one will then actively work to defeat it. Then Purim becomes what it’s meant to be a day of real “teshuva” (repentance). By recognizing the costume that our evil inclination hides in we can come back to our real self, which is the Godly soul that the costume conceals.

THE MITZVA OF

DRINKING ON PURIM

Chatam Sofer writes that the idea of drinking on Purim is to repair the drinking that was done by the Jews at the party of Achashverosh, which led to other sins. The Abuderhem writes that the reason we are commanded to drink wine on Purim is to remember all the miracles that were brought about through drinking at parties during the Purim story. Firstly, Vashti’s downfall came due to all the wine Achashverosh drank, then, when Esther replaced her, Achashverosh made another party. Most importantly , Haman’s downfall came during the party that Esther had prepared for him and Achashverosh. Another important lesson of the Purim story is the Memuchan (sages say is Haman) planned for his own daughter should become queen at the cost of Vashti’s demise. However like all the plans of men they can “back fire” and it did by Esther being placed on the throne of Persia instead of his daughter. Haman created the problem and its solution.

We need to shake off all of the accepted certainties that conceal the truth from us. The sages teach “when wine enters secrets emerge” (eiruvin). In our generation we very much need our inner secrets to come out and be revealed.

The Rebbe of Kotzk writes that drinking wine on Purim is a segulah for prayers to be accepted. The Yigael Ya’acov brings down from his rebbe, the Imre Yoseph of Spinka that by drinking wine on Purim we bring the Geula closer and the building of the Beit Hamikdash. The Yitav Lev says that drinking wine on Purim is a segulah for Parnasah, that they will not have to chase after their livelihood, but that rather, it will come easily to them.The holy Rebbe of Zidichov says that drinking on Purim is considered as great as fasting from Shabbat to Shabbat, an entire week without food or drink!

Make no mistake though Purim is not just a drinking party. The Mitzvah is to drink wine. The Gr”a in his Safer Hachalot teaches. There is wine that is called “guarded”, it being wine that brings the drunkenness  of “Olam Haba” (the world to come). It being wine of Bina  (Divine understanding). This is a unique kind of drinking. We are describing being drunk on Bina  (Divine understanding). Rabbi Shabatto teaches  that Mordichy is the Yesod of Chuchmah therefore on Purim it descends to the world. Dat does not have power to receive this light. For this reason we drink wine to remove this blockage of Dat so it is a obligation to לבסמי on Purim till one “Does not Know”. Only then can the light of this chuchmah enter intellect (and wont be blocked by your current level of Dat. We are obligated to לבסמי פוריה   This is the secret of love between Yisrael and their Father in Heaven. As love comes forth from Chuchmah and fear from Bina. From understanding one comes to fear and he who is a “Chuchum” (from Chuchmah) will love the God. YomKiPurim is in Bina. On the day of Purim illuminates Chuchmah, even if wine is the aspect of Bina. As the wine of Purim reaches up to the level of Chuchmah and even higher till the aspect דלא ידע  which is the source of Bria. Even if Purim is a day of Chuchmah which is usually connected to oil, we drink wine. As we don’t have the power to comprehend this Chuchmah except by Bina which corresponds to Wine. In Purim from the Magilla and wine we are connected to Bina in the sefira of Chuchmah where Bina and Chuchmah are joined in the secret of אהבה (Love). The aspect דלא ידע refers to that in this world in the “klipot” is sparks of Holiness. By obligation to לבסמי on Purim there comes to us the power to illuminate in these sparks freeing them from the “Klipa”.

The Rambam writes that in the future all the books of the prophets and “Catuvim” (writings) will be nullified except Megillat Esther. As the books of the prophets are in the aspect of fear but the future will be in the aspect of love. So then we will still read from Ester and the Song of Songs. Purim is on a very high level. Purim is unique as it is of the time of the future redemption. As we have said after All the books of the Prophets and Writings except the “Song of Songs” will become obsolete because the troubles which they speak of will no longer be relevant in the time of the Messiah but the Megilat Ester we will still read… as it says “and the days of Purim shall not depart from among the Jews and their memory shall not cease from their descendants.’” (Ester 9:28) This is so as the secret of the eternity of the Megillah is the vision of the future that is hidden in it during the days of Purim and will be in the End of Days. Look at The frantic pace of events that occurred during the story of Purim reflects what will be in the future at the time of the final redemption !
 

The Jews of ancient Persia celebrated their stunning victory over their enemies who the very next day had legal authority to kill them all. This victory did not come about through the Hands of Heaven. No, every Jew had to get his hands “dirty” and fight and kill those who sought to fight and kill them. The real miracle was two-fold. The first miracle was that a new law was instituted that gave the Jews first crack at their enemies. However, this first miracle alone would not have saved anyone. The second miracle required the Jews of those days and in those lands to actually rise up, arm themselves and physically seek out, fight with and kill those who wanted to kill them. If any of their enemies were to survive and live to see the day of the 14th of Adar, then the law would have been of their side to kill Jews with impunity. Therefore the Jews of the time had to be very thorough to make a quick finish of all their enemies. For the Jews of those days to rise up, pick up arms and actually shed blood, even the blood of those who so clearly wanted to kill them, was a great miracle. An ever greater and often over looked miracle is that Achashveirosh hated the Jews as much as Haman did for the king, Achashveirosh to change his mind and not kill the Jews is very unusual miracle . For a number of reasons. Achashveirosh loved money. He held his 180 day party because he wanted to show off his great wealth, which was something new to King Achashveirosh  as he inherited all his wealth by marrying Vashti who was the daughter of the king of Bavel, Nebuchadnezzar. For Achashveirosh to change his mind and not take Haman’s money and not kill the Jew who he did hate is rather strange. Sometimes man’s free will is taken. Esther had seen what had been done to Vashti and so she knew king, Achashveirosh was an unpredictable fool and that her life therefore constantly hung by a thread, so she was not with him willingly. Mordechai was told his remembrance in the Kings book of Chronicles had been erased. Haman had already endeavored to have it erased, but afterwards the angel Gavriel rewrote it.The angel Gabriel has “ inkwell of the scribe at his waist.”

The “Aor Ganuz” writes that Easter is described as going in to the king not according to “dat”, meaning not at the time she was invited and the penalty for this is death. But Ester put the life of all the Jewish people before her own. She entered before King Achasvarosh not according to “dat”, meaning She entered without Her Husband Teferet “In your right hand is אש דת to your people. The intent of the force of “gulut” is to nullify the Torah. This caused the destruction of the first and 2nd Temple. Ester alludes to the Shechinah in “galut”. The “emuna” of Malchut the nations do not come upon. So Achashvarosh could not come near Ester. One must guard themselves from the nations in “galut”, guarding the Shechinah in “galut”, with her children, the House of Yisrael. This is the secret of ” I am with my people in their sufferings. The nations can not come close to this “kavanah”, of the Malchut. So in the place of Ester a Demon would come and visit Achashvarosh in the place of Ester, it had the appearance of Ester. In Isiah it says ” I will not give my Glory to another”. Mordichy knew by “Ruach Hakodesh that God was guarding Ester from Haman and King Achashvarosh.

  Rav Shabato teaches Purim is not called day of the miracle but it is a holiday named after the lot, the גורל. of Haman. Purim in not celebrated on the day of its miracle as that began on the 16th of Nisson when Haman was hung. The main thing was on the 23 of Sivan when the king’s command to kill all the Jews was nullified, by giving the Jews permission to kill their enemies. On the 13th and 14th of Adar was made the holiday of Purim. If the miracle was the main thing the Holiday would would have been set for the 23rd of Sivan, but we celebrate Purim on the 13th and 14th of Adar to commemorate the victory over Amalak. The “Aor Ganuz” writes that in the Book of Ester is the secret of who causes the poverty of the Shechinah during exile. Haman was hung on the scaffold he himself had built (they do it to themselves or we built him up by our sins and then by “teshuva” destroyed him. depends how you look at it.).

  The Magilla was given by “Ruach HaKodesh” (the Holy Spirit), Purim does not commemorate a miracle but divine providence and “teshuva” from love. The miracle was made in Sivan and on that day there is no holiday at all. They killed Amalak and took no spoil as one cannot benefit from Amalak. Amalak says “There is no individual providence in the world”. This is the main “cafira” (athiesm- anti Hashem) this is Amalak. That why its written by the incident with Amalak when the Hebrews left Egypt              “אשר קרך בדרך” (by chance on the way). This is the “klippa” of Amalak. SO THEY NEED TO BE BLOTTED OUT !. THIS IS “REALLY GOOD” TO HELP BLOT THEM OUT :

FEBUARY 9TH 2026 IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY IN YOUR LIFE ! What its all about —- The soul its repairs and Redemption !

  On Purim we do the mitzvah of sadakah of giving gifts to the poor. And we have the mitzvah of sending “shalach manot” (small packages of Food). These may be small offerings, but they do have a great effect. Similar is the mitzvah of the 1/2 Shekel every Jew has to contribute to the Temple in Adar. This seems to be the idea that a little can go a long way. The Oar Hachyim tells us that the 1/2 Shekal is not a Physical transaction but works in the Spiritual worlds. It removes the rule of the stars and constellations from upon Yisrael.

The numerical value, Gematria, of shekalim is 480, the same as the number for lilly ‘wife’ of the Samech Mem (Devil). We conclude the ’weeks of shovavim’, which is a tikun (repair) for the sin of  the brit milah. (Holy covenant) This repair, subdues the negative forces, and the completion of the fixing is through the giving of the Half Shekel. The “Aor Ganuz” writes that in all places one guards the “Brit Kodesh” the God guards them, as Moshe was in צל שד”י and as Ester was protected from Achashvarosh by God.

Concerning giving gifts to the poor “Sadakah” its effects are so far reaching as R. Yeshua Ben Lavi teaches that He who continually gives sadakah will have wise wealthy children well versed in “Agada”. R. Eleazer Ben Yosi Teaches sadakah and deeds of kindness bring peace and good understanding between Yisrael and there father in heaven. R. Yuhuda teaches that sadakah delivers from death. Who can list the merits of a single mitzvah ? In conclusion R. Yochanan says in the name of R. Shimon Bar Yochi that great is the merit of supporting the needy, it brings the resurrection before its time. Charity ”Sadakah” in Hebrew ”the holy tongue” comes from the root ”sedek” (righteousness). The Zohar teaches that in Aramaic, language of the Talmud, Charity is ”zchuta” which is the same word for ”merit”. Its degree of merit is according to the needs of the recipients of the charity. Charity is a greater Mitzvah when given where its needed to the needy. Instead of giving Charity to a institution where the majority of the money donated goes into an administrator’s pocket, and only a very small amount of the donation actually helps anyone. Its better to give charity to the needy where its needed, and this truly has great merit before heaven. This is why it is a obligation to send gifts specifically to 2 poor people on Purim. We see here a little of how far reaching the effects of giving to a poor person goes.

The king Achashvarosh made a huge feast for his subjects 30,000 Jewish people attended, even if Mordichy warned them not to go. This meal angered GOD greatly. The sages say this meal got the Jews closer to the gentiles and their ways and farther from GOD. It was shortly after this that there arose Haman with his evil plans. Easter’s meal with Haman and King Achasvarosh Was direct atonement for the evil meal. So to we are commanded to make a feast during the day specifically on Purim. For no other holiday are we given a special command concerning only its day meal. This draws attention to the correction in the world made by the afternoon ”sudah” (meal) of Purim. This mitzvah atones for the sins that lead to the evil decree almost causing us to be annihilated by Haman. This meal joins body to soul. Only then is there the special mitzvah of getting of drunk. ”till the point of not being able to tell ”cursed Haman from Blessed Mordichy”. At other times such behavior is seen as deplorable. But on Purim we get drunk. Purim comes to remind us of the miraculous nature of nature itself. The Magid of Koznitz teaches that by “sacrit” of Purim we raise those who are fallen. Illuminating the eyes of the sons of Human to learn Torah. Purifying sparks in them by the sanctification of the Divine name. Raising those fallen sparks. Each Purim more are purified. Not purified by merit, but by “Kidusha” of “nachat Ruach” over the miracle of Purim.  The Magilla gives great detail of the Purim story so to make clear that Yisrael had transgressed the command of the Chuchmim. So the Magilla brings that they drank from the Temple vessels, defiling them. Ester and Mordichy were both from the seed of Shaul HaMelch who sinned by letting  the sheep and the king of Amalak live so they needed to do the mitzvah of blotting out Amalak so to make “tikun” of the sin of Shaul. as they were from his seed so the “tikun” fell on them. Killing Haman and his 10 sons who each nourished from  the 10 sefirot of the source of the Klippot (Amalak) and they expressed it by spreading out “kafira” (heresy).

The meal of Achashvarosh was Kosher Mehedrin under the “hashgacha” (supervision) of Mordichy, but the meal was forbidden as Mordichy and the Sanhedrin had ruled that  one could not eat with the wicked and they brought out the vessels that had been used in the Holy service of the Temple to drink in and defiled them. By attending  the kings feast the Jews defied Mordichy’s ruling. This is what brought the Divine ruling against them. It came to fruition because Mordichy would not bow to Haman. So Haman ordered his anger against all the Jewish people. Haman though fell by the 3 day fast Mordichy had ordained. “Mordechi the Jew was the משנה “Mishnah” (viceroy) of the king” (Ester 10:3). From him shine the masters of the Mishnah.  (Zohar Tikunim). The “Aor Ganuz” teaches that the 3 day fast of Ester rose Machut in to the Avot, into Chaga”t. Yisrael is Teferet, the Master of Malchut. The Teshuva of the fasting of the fast of Easter can remove the reason for the coming of Amalek and their instead is a surge in the powers of Holiness, weakening the powers of evil that are the source of Amalek. Easter began her fast saying Psalm 22, after that she poured out her heart to Hashem. Then Hashem became merciful to her and heard her prayer. This day has a great “segulah” for prayer being received. Purim is a time called “עת רצון ” (time of favorable Divine will). The mordichy say on Bava Maztzia the the voice on the day of Purim is like that on the day of the giving of the Torah. The Chusom Sofer taught that the light of “matan Torah” of Moshe and Sinia illuminated for the Jews in the days of Achasvarosh it is included in the “Magilla”. The “Magilla” mammash is greater and more profound then the Torah itself. It being the essence of “Kidushah”. Purim includes in it all the other Yom Tov.

     We fell by not following Rabbinic rules and were thus saved by following a Rabbinic decree. This occurred during the days of the “Omer” when we prepare to receive the Torah including the rulings of the Rabbis. The full Moon is symbolic of Yisrael. On the 15th of Adar the Jews rose to a level of Godliness higher than when they received the Torah at mount Sinai. As on Purim the Jews accepted the Torah of their own free will and not because a mountain was suspended over their heads. As the Jews of Shushon had reached the real level of “teshuva” from love of Heaven, at the level of Pessach and Succot which are also on the 15th, Shavout is not. As they were not on that level of comprehension when they received the Torah. Avraham and Sarah were both barren, unable to have children and Avraham as a master astrologer saw that having children would be impossible for him. Much like the story of the story of Purim when it look like a bad situation Hashem can change it in a moment as Yisrael is  not bound by “Mazel” The Meggilla begins with ויהי which usual prognosticates something bad will happen but Rav Shalomo Levinstien points out that the Meggilla begins with ויהי and here is signifies things will change to there very opposite. This is why ויהי is gematria א”ל

 The food at the feast of King Achashvarosh was of the Arz HaDat dressing in common food. Then Haman complained to Achashvarosh who is as the serpent. Who tempted “Chava” (Eve). Ester is “Chava”. This complaint dressed in Haman as a ruling of death against Yisrael. Nashama is a aspect of אסתר ,
. Mordichy is the “Yetzer Tov” and made “tikun” on the forbidden meal by ordaining the 3 day fast.

The Aor Ganuz teaches that Ester is “nikud penimi” the upper Shechinah. We learn in Atz Chym from the Ari Hakodesh That Ester is called השחראילת (doe of the morning). She is described green being the aspect of the “green Kav” which is Bina that surrounds the world. Its from this green kav nature’s nature is created. By this level of revelation we can understand what must be done as never before. This revelation of the shechinah is of such great beauty the Ar’i compares it to a virgin. The Kamarna Rebbe teaches Ester was like a green “etrog”, as She was green. Ester dressed in Malchut. Rabbi Aslag explains concerning this That the color of the illumination of Chuchmah in Malchut is called Ester. It is as gold-green, the color of the Etrog. Green like Gold is Chuchmah in “Chassadim”. Mordichy is such a level that His power nullifies power of מרדכי=בלעם+בלק =לאה+רחל +2 This is a very high level such that the Ar’i teaches in Mavua Sharim that in “gan aden” souls have a garment described as זך (shinny). Mordechy  is soul of Benyamin included in Yosef. (a aspect of Mashiach ben Yosef, too bad most Yisreal did not return to the land during the 2nd temple period) (Sulam on Zohar Tikunim 360) Mordicy and Ester merited this garment while still in this world. This is what it means when it says, they had garments of “Malchut”. This is the aspect of אפר (dust of the earth), but as before the sin of Adam. By this “malchut” one certainly takes part in governance, providence of the world. The Aor Enyim reveals that on Purim the Yesod of Abba is revealed going out of the Yesod of “Parzuf” Rachel which is the “magilla”. Purim has the “ateret” (crown) of great gold of Chuchmah, and chesed. It Spreads out Chesed of Arich which dresses in Aba, from the side of “din” of Imma. Concerning this Chesed the Ar”i teaches in Lecutim that light is revealed in the Yesod from “Chesed Elyon”, this is the “leviyaton”. This is the “cord of Chesed” that illuminates in Malchut that is Ester. It is hidden in Abba and Imma in the secret of “ד”.


Rabbi Yitzchak opened the discussion with the verse: “Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel ” (Esther 5:1). The scroll of Esther was said in the Holy Spirit and, therefore, it is included in the Bible. “Now it came to pass on the third day.” When the body energy was low and weak, from fasting, she remained in her spirit without the body. Then, “that Esther put on Malchut.” What is the meaning of Malchut? If you think it is glorious and purple garments, these are not called so. “Esther put on Malchut,” that she was clothed in the supernal Holy Malchut. She was assuredly enveloped in the Holy Spirit. ( Zohar Chukat P. 182a ) When the “Magilla” is read is aroused Rachamim and “Chassadim Gadolim”, those of Heaven. All the Divine abundance of Purim is revealed in the time of the reading of the “Magilla”. Intend when hearing the “Magilla” that no stumbling block to Yisrael in the future.

The Rashas”h teaches that during the exile of Bavel Zu”n stood back to back in “mochin gadlut” (developed consciousness) of Abba and Imma. After 70 years the “mochin” left Z”a. Then came Mordichy and Ester and the light was renewed. From Shar Cavanot we learn Purim is the time, and preperation right before redemption. It was for Pasach that Ester declared a 3 day fast . No Matzoth was eaten that Pasach. This was unbearable before heaven and evoked mercy that caused the sleep of king Achasvarosh to become disturbed. This disturbed sleep of king Achasvarosh occured on the night following Esters first feast and Haman setting up his Gallows to hang Mordichy, which was the 15th of Nisson. This resulted in him searching His Chronicles and remembering that Mordichy had saved his life but has not been rewarded. This led to the raising of Mordichy and the downfall of Haman and his evil plans. The Yalkut Shimoni teaches that it was the merit of eating of the Corban Passach of previous years’ merit which stood up to protect the Jewish people in the time of Haman. This brings us back to our original question of how it is that Purim protects us from “chumatz” on Pessach? In the simplest sense R. Shimon teaches “chumatz” is the evil imagination, like a haughty man it rises up. Arrogance can only occur when one does not know who it is they stand before. As Pharoe who represents the evil inclination said “ Who is GOD ? “ Purim reminds us to see GOD in all things, especially those things people take for granted as being mundane, coincidence and by “ chance “. This is essential as if we forget, then GOD has to remind us. As Rashi teaches us that Amalack is the dog GOD sends to bite us ש “חו when we forget where GOD is. To clarify this further we see in Pesicta of R. Kahana that Edom tries to make Yisrael go out side of the Torah path, but beyond the path’s borders GOD has placed the dogs. We see this idea reflected in the verse from Tihilim “ flatten it flatten it to its very יסוד ( foundation ) “ The sefira Yesod is sometimes call צדק (righteousness), the proper path. Edom would like to push Yisrael off the proper path to the dogs. How important is it to practice righteousness in one’s supposed mundane activities. Their give and take in the physical world. As R. Kahana teaches that you may be certain in a generation whose weights and measures are false will have a wicked kingdom wage war against them. So why does it appear in this world that the wicked seem to prosper ? One’s whose business practices exploit the poor. We can understand this by looking at the relationship between Yomkippurim and Purim.

   Why is Yom Kipurim כ (like) Purim ? Just as on YomKipurim a lot is drawn and from it is chosen a goat to be given to distract the accusers on high. Like throwing a dog a bone. Then Yisrael is judged favorably. So too is the story of Purim. The wicked one drew lots trying to find when according to astrology would be the best time to attack Yisrael, Yet this too is only a distraction as there is no such time. As GOD rules within Nature. From The Ner Yisrael we learn פור (lot)=(2)קמ”ג . GOD controls the “lot”. The wicked think they are prospering in their evil way , but the truth is as Adam Ha Reshon Said “ The wicked thrive as grass, all the evildoers flourish in order that they may be destroyed for ever “. This will be when their cup of inequity is full and they inherit their lot. The “Aor Ganuz” writes that YomKipurim is like Purim becouse in the future at this time (Yom Kipporim) they shall rejoice. On Yom Kippor its forbidden to wear sandels but of the time of redemption it is written “How beautiful are your feet with shoes”. As by the Malchut shall be delight and pleasure in the time of redemption

   Yom Kiporim is like Purim and a lot different. Purim is much different then any other holiday. It celebrated in Isreal on 2 separate days depending on if one lives in what was a walled city in the time of Joshua, Also one needs to hear the Megilla read twice once in the evening and then again in the morning. We never have a day and evening reading of the same Parsha at any other time ? Yom kippor every one knows is a big test ALL IS THEN IN THE BALANCE FOR DEATH OR LIFE . Yet so is Purim but its a hidden test so people wont notice. To aid in this kind of test we must get drunk. On Yom Kippor one is on there best behavior, all try to act like angels , then its like we are wearing a costume. But on Purim while drinking the real you is revealed. Will one join the masses in a all night drinking party or will they be up in the morning to hear the magilla again, have the day meal of Purim, the only Holiday we are commanded to have only a day meal and then do the mitzvah of drinking ?

On a certain level, The Gemora seems to portray Purim as the flip side of Tisha b’Av (the day of fasting and mourning for the destruction of the Temple). Av we are commanded to diminish joy with the beginning of the month of Av and with the beginning of the month of Adar we are commanded to increase our Joy, in a sense, these 2 are diametrically opposed days. By  Purim we witness the  “happy end,” of  the Divine Providence called ” hester panim” (God’s hidden face) but Tisha B’Av bemoans the tragic events that can  result from the Divine Providence called  “hester panim”.

After Masiach comes there will be no longer Pasach, Rosh Hasanah or Yom Kippor but Purim will continue to be celebrated. This is a celebration of the absolute and complete destruction of Amalack.

   The “Aor Ganuz” writes that the world is heading to a time when it will be only all Shabot. At that time the Zohar says Then will be nullified the “Yom Tovim”, then the moon will be in its completeness. But the days of Purim will not be nullified with the coming of Mashiach, may He come quickly in our days. Then there will be face to face revelation which has been missing all the days since the Holy Temple has been destroyed. except sometimes during “Tefilla”.

  It is good to have in mind before the reading of the megila that in the merit of this mitzva, God should exterminate all the evil powers of this world, which is related in “Rosh ha Teva”  (the first letters) of the verse, ’to remove the filth from the land.’ Please note, that the God always helps, but it is we who are commanded to wipe out Amalak. If Shaul would have killed the King of Amalak Agog who was the last of Amalak left alive instead of letting him live long enough to impregnate a women there would have been no more Amalak and Haman would then never have lived and maybe there would have been the complete redemption at that time with the complete blotting out of Amalak, by no means should we show mercy to Amalak.

  Rav Shaboto teaches Purim is separate from all other holidays as its light is so great that we are not on the level to receive it but it descends unto us. Unlike on Shabbot where there illuminates in it light of Chuchmah and in the 3rd meal is aroused mercy of Keter and here we have to rise above to receive this light. But by Purim the Light descends to us below ! Other Yom Tovim we rise a little and the light descends a little and this is why work is permitted. The time of Purim is time of the “Anshey Kanesset Hagadolah”, (The Great Assembly). The holidays enacted by the sages are greater than those from the Torah itself. They are as Jewelry sent by the bride to the groom so to make him more desirable to her,

Purim teaches us a most enlightening historic lesson, one which reflects the struggle of the great powers of good and bad, of Amalek and Israel – a struggle that is manifest in a deep-rooted hatred of the nations of the world towards the People of Israel. We read about this in the Book of Esther, which we read on Purim. Esther herself, the Talmud teaches, asked the Sages to accord “her” Book a distinctive stature among the Holy Scriptures, and for Purim to become a special holiday and be granted a special status in our Torah tradition. As the great Maimonides wrote:

“All the Books of the Prophets and the Writings will become null and void during the times of the Messiah – except for the “Megillah” [Scroll] of Esther, which will stand forever just like the Five Books of Moses and the laws of the Oral Torah that will never be nullified. And even though the memory of all our suffering will be forgotten…, the days of Purim will never be erased, as is written [Esther 9, 28], “These days of Purim will not fail from among the Jews, nor their memory perish from their seed.” The holiday of Purim is from sefirah of Chochmah. After the Messiah comes it will be the last holiday to go. Even after we no longer need Yom Kippur to access its holy light in the eighth millennium, Purim will still be a unique time. Only in the ninth millennium will the light of Purim shine everyday, at a very advance stage of Olam HaBah (the World-to-Come). Purim now, opens up access to light of the ninth millennium, the light of the sefirah of Chochmah. Shabbot gives us access to the light of the seventh millennium and Yom Kippur to the light of the eighth millennium. Purim is higher than all of these !

  Rav Shabatto teaches that there are 2 “yichudim” of Hashem one is in fear and the other is in love. Kahalet ends his book saying “The end of the matter is to fear Hashem”. While the Song of Songs is “yichud” in the aspect of love. Cooresponding to these are the 2 days Yom CiPurim which is “teshuva” out of fear and Purim which is “teshuva” out of love. On Yom KiPurim we receive the Torah out of fear on Purim we receive the Torah out of Love. As it says in the Song of Songs “Bring me to the house of wine, your banner is over me for love.” In the Magilla its written יכתב להשיב את הספרים (8:5) becouse out of “teshuva” from love on Purim there will be nullified the evil that has been written in the book and sealed as his judgment on YomkPurim. So its written in Magillat Ester יכתב להשיב את הספרים (8:5) referring to the books that were sealed on YomkPurim. This is according to the Chida. Purim brings the physical and the spiritual closer this is as God’s hidden presence in the seemingly chance events of the Purim story. Also  the repeated use of the word Ha-Melekh, “the King,” in the Magilla   alluding to simultaneously to Ahasuerus and to the Almighty King of Kings (Esther Rabbah). Many Magilla have the word Hamelekh  as the first word in each column.

Rabbi Chaim Vital immersed in a mikva erev Purim as was his custom before every Shabbat and festival. Shabbat clothing is worn on Purim, and if women have gold jewelry, Rabbi Yoseph Haim writes in ’Ateret Tiferet’, they should adorn themselves with such Jewelry to honor the festival. The custom is to say, ’Cursed is Haman’ three times, and intend to bring down the Samech Mem and his legions, and so to say three times, ’Blessed is Mordechai’, as was the custom in the Holy Yeshiva, Beit El. During the morning reading of The Megila, when the words, ’for the Jews was light and joy, happiness and riches,’ the custom is to touch and kiss one’s tefilin. Before making the festive meal, after reading the Megila and concluding the morning prayers, a person should immediately perform the ’mitzvot hayom’, by gifting gifts to the poor (matonot l’evyonim’) and afterward, ’sending food to one’s friends’, ’mishloach manot’, and then begin his personal festive meal, so too was the custom of the Ari’zal, and the Ra’shash.


Gemara Megillah (16b) instructs one who is reading the Megillah to lengthen the Vav written in the name of Vaizata (one of Haman’s sons), which indicates that all the ten of Haman’s sons were hanged on the same pole. It is the Vav that represents the connection between all ten sons who were hanged on one pole.

R. Moshe Cordevero in Shur Kumah teaches that from the מאמר (creative utterance) that were made by Mordichy and Ester there was a מאמר by GOD added to their אמירה (loving type of speech). Becouse a מאמר by GOD joined to their אמירה the power of Malchut extended to include all the people. Such a מאמר has the power of a ruling of the King. Concering this its tought if you want a ruling of the King call the sefirot of the מאמר that is needed. By this there will be a arrousing of the king without doubt. The Ramcha”l in his safer Tefilot in # 515 says that by אהי”ה Haman was given into Esters hand’s (אהי”ה is a name of the כסא). כסא=אף(anger)

Haman and Mordechai both set out for Persia, Mordechai to plead for building the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and Haman against building the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Haman who was greedy, ate all his food at once, while Mordechai allowed enough to remain for the whole journey. Soon Haman became very hungry and begged Mordechai to share the remainder of his fare with him. At first, Mordechai refused his request, but later, he relented on the condition that Haman agree to become Mordechai’s slave. As they had no paper to upon which to write a contract, Haman wrote the following pledge upon the sole of Mordechai’s shoe: “I, Haman the Agagite, have sold myself to Mordechai as his slave in consideration of bread.” Since then Haman could never forgive Mordechai for his humiliation, and he was in constant dread lest Mordechai enforce his slave claim over him. Even more that this :

The son of a Jewish slave owner of his gentile slave is his property. So Yishmoyal and all his offspring are truly slaves to the Jewish people. Thus there is no need to promise to give us the lands of Yishmoyal for they belong to us as a slave does not own land but it belongs to the slave’s owner, the Jewish people.

The servants of the king did not know about the hidden hatred that there was between Mordechai and Haman, because they did not know that Mordechai was a Jew. (Mordechai was not Charadi).

The Temple is a place of unity, on both the territories of Yehuda, son of Leah, and Binyamin, son of Rachel. Here, brothers are united.

Like the Beit HaMikdash itself, Mordechai is both of Yehuda and of Binyamin. Mordechai represents unity and harmony, reconciliation and clarity. There was a man of Yehuda in Shushan the capital, and his name was Mordechai, son of Yair, son of Shim’i, son of Kish, a Benjaminite. (Esther 2:5)

 “Achashverosh” is always written in the Megillah in full, with two vavs, except here :

 “And King Achashverosh imposed a tax on the land and on the isles of the sea.”  (10,1) Tax מס is ס”ם backwards.

Sni Luchot ha Brit Lech Licha teaches to Chant the 4 verses of the Magilla of Ester : 2:5, 6:1, 8:15, 8:16 (verses of redemption). Rav Shabbato teaches that Magilla is on a level higher then “Halacha Moshe Mi Sinai”

Say Melech loud on 6:1 , some also do on 10:13. Make a bean dish for meal as Danial would not eat Nebchanezer’s unKosher meat. Make fritters filled with beans and meat. At the meal write Amalak and Haman on a piece of paper and soak it in beer to fulfill the verse “Give beer to the wretched” (Mishle 21:6)

The Midrash Rabba writes that Mordechai ha Yehudi, after he had heard the decree of Haman, gathered together all the children who learned Torah, who were pure of soul, and began to teach them Torah. While he was teaching them, Haman entered the Beit Midrash in order to take him according to the command of the king, to lead him on the horse of the king in the king’s garments.

Mordechai thought Haman came to kill him, however Haman came over to him and asked him, ‘What are you teaching the children?’ Mordechai answered him that he was teaching the portion of the grain offerings brought in the Beit HaMikdash. Haman said, The ‘kometz’ or portion of your hand, ie; the learning of Torah you perform now, is worth more than the 10,000 shekels silver I gave to Achashverosh. It should be noted that 10,000 shekels silver was a tremendous amount of money and Haman who was not born rich but was a barber by trade most of his life and part of his life he sold himself into slavery to Mordichy as he became so poor. For him to give up so much money to kill the Jews shows just how much Amalek hates Jews. More than their desire for money. Which is one of the strongest drives to most people in this world. There is a important message here that needs to be understood most people are primarily motivated to spend almost all of his time and energy seeking wealth and power so to satisfy their appetites for bodily pleasures and  insatiable desire for honor.  Like the king Achashvarosh banqueting all day long, and sampling a different virgin in bed each night.  But Haman is not like this, he is motivated primarily by his hatred and anger against the Jews, this is whats moving Haman, unlike “normal people”.  There is something in this concerning the origins and nature of anti-Semitism. Haman spends his time when at home boasting of his importance and honor to his family and friends (Magilla 5:10-12), despite all the honors given by King Achashvarosh to Haman, this does not make Haman happy as he said   ”All this is worthless to me  so long as  Mordecai is at the kings gate” (alive) (5:13). When summoned to the king in (6:5-6) and asked to suggest a suitable ceremony of honor for someone deserving, Haman’s first thought is “Who could the king possibly wish to honor more than me?” It is this obsession with honor that gives birth to his insane, murderous jealousy, and to his ultimate downfall.

‘ The Ari’zal writes in Sha’ar HaGilgulim that the power of Haman HaRasha which had enabled him to succeed in bringing such a difficult decree against the Jews was actually from the power of the holy sparks that had been hidden in the soul of Haman. And with this holy power, He had come to attack to the Jews. But from where did he derive this power? From the spark of the soul of the holy sage of the Talmud, Rabbi Shmuel bar Shilat, that was embedded in his soul.

The Gemara writes about Rabbi Shmuel bar Shilat that he had been a school teacher who was completely dedicated to imbuing his students with the Holiness of Torah and mitzvot. And this is why Mordechai’s first response to Haman’s decree was to gather the school children together to learn Torah. Because that was Rabbi Shmuel bar Shilat’s mitzvah, and it was the power of this mitzvah that extracted the sparks from the soul of Haman. And because of this, Haman lost the power of Holiness hidden in his soul, and from this point on, Haman’s downfall continued until his death, and the fall of all the enemies of the Jews. As it was in those days, so shall it be in our days as well. The sages explain that Saul’s “mercy” on the king of Amalek had severe consequences: Haman, the murderous villain of the Book of Esther, is called the “Agagite,” he was a descendant of the Amalekite King Agag.

R. Manachem Mendal of Chabad taught that when Queen Ester called on Mordichy to gather all the Jews and fast that Mordichy gathered thousands of children and taught them Torah until they became inspired to the point that they proclaimed “ we will stand with Mordichy and the Torah for life or death “ In the same day the decree against the Jews was made null and void, even if it only became known later. It is this type of devotion we must strive for in our divine service. Then evil has no leg to stand upon ! This can be seen in the teaching in Perke d Rebbi Eleazer as there we learn “ with the 4th from the little finger of the right hand GOD showed Moshe the ½ shekel, this is the finger of redemption.” It taught in Safer Ha Brit, also by Cyim Vetal and many other places that this finger corresponds to the flow of the sefira Chuchmah ( Divine Creative inspiration ). The wisdom of GOD above understanding. At this level there is no free will, only truth. The Holy Ar”i reveals that on the day of the miracle of Purim, God shined upon the Jews a great divine light, through which they were saved from their enemies in both a spiritual and physical sense. And thus every year, on that day, a great saving light comes to the Jews and shines upon them.

So what is Purim anyway, it is named after the ”pur” (lot) drawn by Haman. By definition, a lot is an object used in deciding something by chance. Therefore, in a lot, all possibilities are essentially equivalent. For the lot, ”yes” and ”no” are equal. This is alluded to in the two words for ”yes” and ”no” in  Aramaic  quoted below:

The word for ”yes” is hen, which is numerically equivalent to the word ha’kol (55), meaning ”all” in Hebrew. Furthermore, the word for ”no” in Aramaic, lav, is numerically equivalent to the Hebrew word hevel (37), which means “vanity”. These two words form together the central phrase of Ecclesiastes ” (1:2): “all is vanity,”–ha’kol hevel. This is the meaning of a lot. Rabbi Shabato teaches that Haman thought from his “goral” (lottery) the פור (lot) that went out for destroying Yisrael in Adar which is the Yesod of water, showed him he could extinguish the fire of Yisrael, and blot out the עפר (earth) of Yisrael (as during the flood). But the opposite happened. Yisrael did “teshuva” and this caused Haman to fall in Nisson which is the Yesod of fire. Haman tried to discover “mazel” that would favor him over Yisrael by doing his drawing of the פור by his “goral” (lottery). Haman could not concieve that Yisrael unlike any of the other nations is not bound by “mazel”,

The meal Lot had with the angels in Sodom was matza. Yet the meal was called “mishteh”. This word is also used in the Magilla of Easter for the meal of purim. Purim is redemption without miracles in a revealed way. Passach redemption was one of many obvious miracles. Together Passach and purim include all aspects of redemption. Lot was conducting the Passach Sader and the purim “Sudah” all as one.

The name Ester comes from the Hebrew word “str” meaning hidden or secret. Some of the most important commandments are performed secretly. Over so much we just don’t have a clue. All history is really a extended version of the Magilla, until Mashiach (The Messiah) will be revealed. Then everything will be different.

 Purim we can even see in this world is not only a thing from the ancient past but it was on the holiday of Purim in 1991 that the 1991 Gulf War ended and was a good day for the Jewish people.With the reading of the megillah came the first occasion in a month and a half when people were able to leave their homes without gas masks. 

Amalek  continues to plague us in many disguises, he comes as a helper of the under dog. This is one thing the masks of purim come to remind us of. Masks come to remind us that people often conceal their true intentions under the guise of noble goals even as they plot the genocide of our people. Haman’s built his antisemitism on the platform that the Jews have dual loyalty. This is recorded in the historical record as attested to by Haman’s speech in the Megillah:

And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people throughout all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws differ from the king’s laws. Therefore it is of no use for the king to let them be. (Book of Esther 3:8)

The Jews have dual loyalty!

   The  Messiah comes from Ruth a righteous convert. She came from the nation of Moab. Moab was the son of an incestuous father-daughter relationship. Why would the seed of the Messiah come from such a place ?. God hates incestuous relationships This is hard to understand

Purim is one of the most family-oriented holidays. But, the story centers around Esther, who intercedes to save all the Jews. Esther,a Jewish women in a relationship with a gentile king, a forbidden relationship. There are those who also say that Mordechai and Esther were really husband and wife. This is all VERY difficult to understand, and none of this seems very appropriate for the the “most family-oriented holiday”. It is all to say the least very strange. So what is really going on in the story of Purim ? The truth of the matter is We don’t know. The sages have left us some clues, pieces to the puzzle that they had, and this helps but we do not have whole picture. We are missing pieces, The fact of the matter is “God’s thoughts are not as our thoughts”. The God is infinite and we are finite. There are some things one just cannot KNOW ?

  It is said that Koresh (Cyrus) the king of Persia prayed to Hashem that if he gave him the head of Belshazar the last king of Bavel that he would give Hashem the Bait haMikdash. Koresh had a close relationship with the Jewish leaders in exile. Strangely in the Bible Koresh is called the anointed by God (Isiah 45:1). The Bible states that Cyrus issued decrees for  liberating the Jews and for the rebuilding of The Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The rebuilding of the Temple took place throughout the reign of Cyrus, Xerxes Who is called Ahasuerus, and Artaxerxes, until the reign of Darius II. The work was done under the guidance of the prophets, The decree of Cyrus to build the Temple is recorded in the archives at Ecbatana^. There Darius reaffirmed the decree and the work proceeded to its triumphant close. The beginning of Safer Ezra speaks of these things.

The events of Purim teach us that the presence of Am Yisrael [the Nation of Israel] in Exile is not only a national and spiritual danger for Israel, but also a genuine physical and spiritual threat to each and every individual Jew, Heaven forbid. As far as the Jew is concerned, the nations of the world have no grasp of elementary social laws that will safely guarantee his individual and national existence. The Torah’s decree, “You will not find calm amongst the nations,” is well in force, and has almost always expressed the bitter and true reality of the relationship between the Jews and the nations.

In the book “Sadi Tepuchim” we learn our Holy Rabbis and sages knew by “Ruach haKodesh” that in the end of days the “Erev Rav” who made Yisrael stumble in the desert when leaving Egypt would again arise in “gilgul” in the end of days so to make the Torah and its learning seen as a lowly thing. So that they can make parish the remnant of Torah Knowledge from Yisrael. They are the leaders of the generation who rule so to make the “Shechinah” separate from Hashem and cause separation of Yisrael from their father in Heaven. They have mixed in with the great sages of the generation and have sold the Torah for a bowl of lentils ! Their Nashamot have been made “tami” by their mixing with these evil people (Erev Rav). The Ar”i said concerning the Erev Rav in the end of days that they “Will go astray after strange gods”. Zohar Tikunim says wow to those of Yisrael that are swallowed up among them in the “galut” of the Erev Rav. Of them it is written ” They do not know that they are going to be sacrifices, and their vision is evil. They are the leaders of the people. They are trouble in the head, making difficulties for Yisrael and they are companions of thieves. All of them love bribes. Yisrael is mixed with and swallowed up among them. The Erev Rav are sons of lilly. They are completely wicked and have swallowed up Yisrael. It is they who bring upon Yisrael the weapons of “chamas”. These Erev Rav are the aspect of Amalak. Among them are those who build bait Caneset and put Torah in it but none of what they do is for Hashem but they only do these things to make a great name for themselves and to bring the “sitra achra” to come to rule upon Yisrael. They will come to be the Shepards ruling upon leading Yisrael. They cannot do any good for the ‘Chuchumim”. Know, these Erev Rav have peace are happy and without worries. They masters at taking bribes. They are judges and heads of the people. They are as the dust of the earth in lowliness. Becouse of them the land is full of “chamas” (violence or the Terror group). Tikunim says any chesed that they do is intended only for their own benefit. They make the exile drag out longer. The soul of Moshe told Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochi that in the end of day that the Erev Rav will be used to test Yisrael, to make them sin. The good of Yisrael will withstand the test.While the wicked will do evil. The wise will understand which is the Tree of Life, but many will follow the Erev Rav. Some will do “teshuva” by drawing Divine abundance from the Zohar and then they are able to go out of the exile in Mercy. But the Erev Rav is not called Yisrael , they are the slaves of Yisrael (as Haman was Mordicy’s slave). It says in the Gemore “Magilla” that by calling the Erev Rav (what they are) WICKED ONES- THE REDEMPTION WILL BE HASTENED !

.  May it be that we all see this fulfilled as the sages say “ till one does not know the difference between cursed is Haman and Blessed is Mordichy “, but all only the revealed will of GOD, as there is no other ! With the gathering of the exiles and the building of the Bait Hamigdash with our Righteous Maschiach in Rachamim quickly in our days AMEN SELAH !
