Leil Shishi - Taking Purim With You Throughout the Year

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com who has a Ben Ben you have the piece the back up oh here it is s okay okay we just thear and the the says made a name for himself how did the how did make a name for himself says thear now if they would have asked me not that anyone's asking me but if they would have asked me how which book in the tanak did make a name for himself with the last book on my totem list would have been melester cuz it's the one book The Only book that hashem's name does not appear how in the world could kazal say that how does Reon make a name for himself through mikill I mean that's probably the last choice that I could think of how the ream made a name for himself I was always bothered by this question the mar even learns that the gamar is bothered by this question but this is an important question question on this the opens up his comments on just interesting just uh an aside know the when the begin he says the word ha two times you ever notice that theama says a ha a few words and then he says ha again which is a Pella the R's it's one comment it's one note it's the only time in the whole continuously talking and he says so they say from the that like many who would like to begin their saer with the name of with3 that's the that was R's way of starting with the but the's very first comment in is as follows summ I place before me always with something that we need to do always likewise with another thing we have to do always so in we have these two just like we have the we have two one is the other is the one is dependent on the other if you want to be happy if you want to be a the way to get to that madga is through the if you see the before you always the you will reach the M of and that's what we want to speak about tonight how did make a name for himself and where do we see this madga in the Mig you know it's an interesting thing you ever notice the tells us that one of theim that we add to primarily consists of four you make you make you make and you make they once asked the when he was a little boy why in that order so very simple you know first you say you drink it then you smell it then you see it and then but that's the but then the ra says we should addim of yesu and one of the that we add of course is from and we say every we say it during the three weeks we say it during the nine days we say it ER of P it doesn't matter when the entire year we invoke the Yeshua of and we say why did the of legislate to say this and of all the we do say we specifically are when it comes to but interestingly that's not the only connection between and because the wres it's interesting thing I I I was not familiar with this it's actually brought at least the this way when you smell what should be says the passing this way you should have in now say you don't have to you don't have to because they dry out and if you're only going to have you're not going to be able to make a but the agrees it's better to also have then that's how the so if you're a you need to have and even if you're to to the why say but then he says the REM is it says so it says the word and so therefore says the it is appropriate as you're remembering the shabis to also have a remembrance for Hadas and of course we know that PK is Dar for referring to Esther because that PK that we started to share with says is a reference to Esther it's also interesting the writes randomly in one of the that when he looks at the N of of havdala when he looks at the auka and it has to consist of two n to him the two of hav represent and that's what writes so it's like every every procedure of havala you're basically kering over the salvation of PM you know you're remembering you're remembering you're saying the you remember and the two why every shabus do remember purm it's not PM it was shabas someone asked you an interesting question one of the great G who graced these Shores absk I believe was here in England and he says in the penultimate ofel that P is really teaching us how to approach M because the second to last the M reads if you want to know the might and the strength you want to know all the Intrigue you want to know the whole story you want to know the historical context wrong book don't look here go look in the chronicles of Persia and media ask absk what is the Milla telling us does Milla want us to go to the British mum open up the chronicles of Persia media and read what is called the rest of the story what is the Milla telling us says rsky the Milla is telling us the central principle and how to approach Mill eser and that is don't think that there is a sentence or a PK or a word or a letter that was brought that is written just to give you a better picture of the historical context and the times no every detail every P every Prat is written for one reason and one reason only and if you think that there's a that's just there so you have a better appreciation for the times you're making a mistake if you want to know about the history of the story look in the chronicles of Persia media and it's so interesting because the next p in the mill excuse me the PK right before that seems to be random how does perak begin taxes the people really that's great great to know I'm so happy I know that that imagine that's how the Milla ends taxes the people who cares that's the climax of The Miracle per that's the summit of the story you know what not only were the Jews not killed not only did we kill the amim but taxes the people that's that's too much information it seems like useless information why is this included in the story this is the question of none other than the brisker of wants to know why does Milla include this information that taxed the people we would like to present a novel approach to this question that in fact this p is the Highlight is the summit and the highest point of theh of the story of so H's coming to give a advice he's listening to his wife Z Zar says go to the king tell the king that you made this Gallows 50 tall and we're going to hang M so just then couldn't sleep and he's tossing and turning and says who's in the courtyard and H was coming to tell the king says on what Al on the tree literally that prepared for him who's the him simp understood that hon prepared for M but the gar is bothered obviously he prepared for Mor should just say why does it have to say so the H thought he's preparing it for Mori but in truth H Was preparing it for ham he was preparing it for himself and in these three lines and these three words here in lies the central principle of Mester not this is the of meler we say in you didn't just foil his plan you didn't just sever his plan you didn't just stop his plan you what does that mean you look on the that level of is such that we would think that if you have some anti-semite who's in office and they're plotting and they're scheming and they have machinations so we think the comes and knocks them off and kills them and removes them from office and makes sure their plan do not carried out no that is not all the does he takes it a step further he's not only he's what does mean says you know in America we have an expression you know play ball says to the Russia I don't need to kill you I don't need to knock you off you tell me what your scheme is how you plan on harming CLA Israel and I will co-opt hijack harness your plan to kill you I will kill you with your plan that's and that is the thear sanen gives it another name thear sanin says there was a man by the name of oada now aadya had very interesting aada came from Edomite converts and by the way what's amazing is who's saying this lesson raer I once saw in the writings of the barbanel why is RoR perking up when it comes to a teaching onada because nobody knew about Edom and as and Edomite converts better than rer because we know rer descended from Nero Kar Nero Kar was an Edomite convert R was the expert on the ad so in this gar the says like this there's a man by the name of aadya aadya is not a long safer it's an easy safer to learn it's one peric long I think it's something like and prophesied about the downfall of Ed and the gar wants to know why did O prophesy about the downfall of adim and the gamar says because oad was a convert from Edam and he grw up grew up among rash and he didn't learn from their bad ways so he's going to prophesy about the downfall of ad about who grew up among sadik he didn't learn from their good ways and then RoR gives the final cracker says RoR you know what you call this from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe you have a Forester he's chopping down tree after tree after tree after tree that's right the tree after tree and we ask him you know R Forester the the hatchet that you're using where did the wooden handle come from and he says it came from this Forest itself from the forest itself comes the handle for the axe from Ed himself came the who propes the downfall of this is a principle in that has such control over events doesn't have to take someone out knock someone off he says I'm going to play ball with your plan you pick the plan I'll use your plan to get back at you so the stier stier gives a few examples of this a few classic examples you have a guy by the name of Paro par makes a decree that every Jewish boy who's going to be born is going to be thrown into the river and the reason parro made that decree is because he saw in the astrological signs that the m is will be born py says I can't let the the Jewish savior be born I know he's going to be born today so we're going to knock off the Jewish savior we're going to throw the Jewish savior into the water so is looking down and says you pick the plan yeah you're going to stop the Jewish savior from being born because you're going to throw them into the water listen up par Y is going to throw baby mosa into the water your daughter basa is going to pick him up she's going to bring him into the palace he's gonna cry at night and B say Daddy I'm so tired would you mind rocking this little baby that I found in the river and you're gonna say okay fine and Par is you know rocking mha to sleep at night par is feeding mha bottles Bas says you know Dad I need your credit card I need to go buy formula I need to go buy clothing I need to pay for his tuition parro paid for Mosa's tuition parro raised mosa par woke up middle of the night parro you think you're going to stop M Isel you're going to create m is you think you're going to terminate him you're going to raise him you're going to pay for his rent and board we can add another interesting nuda you knowz asks that why did hash have it that MOS has to be has to grow up in the house of Parra says if mha would have grown up with the rest of the Jewish people they were a they had a low morale they had a slave mentality you can't take a guy who has no confidence and a Slave slave moral slave mentality and make him the leader of he can't be a king was a who's going to teach M the protocols of royalty and Leadership the par par trained M Ru to be the leader of you know we have many important people in our history you know Abraham y how about you know without doesn't get his just deserts you know how much credit par not for Paro we never would have left M we wouldn't have a toyra today the only reason we have a to is because parro trained mha to be the leader of the Jewish people Ezra says parro you think you're going to terminate m is your Gaz is going to produce everything that you know leadership you're going to give over to this kid you're trying to kill this is the principle of what we see what happened to is and there are a few amazing examples in the Milla so first of all you know Zares tells ham that you need to build a Gallows 50 amamos tall why 50 amamos tall Now isn't that absurd according to K then this Gallows was like you know 100 feet tall thear says a person doesn't even look above 20 who in the what kind of insanity is it to build a Gallows 100 fet to you can't you need binoculars what kind of a is that so Zar was very smart Zarah said you know if you make any if you make any other plan then a might have second thoughts about it he may revisit it he may ask somebody's advice what should I do to you know um might not make an instant decision but if you have this 100 Gallow tall uh tree staring in parro's face staring in's face then the moment you tell you know we need to kill Mori he's going to make this instant decision he's not going to think about it he's going to be very sudden and he's going to say just hang him so go tell make the Gallow 50 tall cuz Zar figured this way will make a rash decision which is exactly how H was hanged when when uh Zar tells you know so if a would have been in any other other circumstance would have thought about it he might have asked advice he may have looked into it but because that Gallows was steering him straight in the face he just said okay oh there it is hang him so hamon basically dug his own grave the whole of Zar was so that should agree to hang immediately which is ultimately why H was hanged now this is very interesting you know in the beginning of the story a has a problem with his wife he doesn't know what to do with vashi so who does he call the king is asking advice why is the king asking advice I mean if you're the king of the world the last thing you need to do is when your wife doesn't listen to you you have to ask the advice of some legislation I mean can't you give the guy what what did it mean he was a you know he ruled the whole universe why is he asking the advice of the so the gro explains the Milla is about to tell us why [Music] cuz the law in the land was as follows that a could always make a unilateral decision he could always make a call about anything all by himself but when it's to him when it's relevant to him then anytime there is a judgment there was a question that was relevant specifically to needed to ask the advice of the uh of his legislation says the that's the meaning of the however if that's the case I have a question in the end of the story so a guy by the name of so ham takes the misstep with Esther and says oh here's the Gallows so what does say him wait a second I thought the rule in the land was I thought the law in the land was that whenever a case whenever a sha is relevant to the king the king cannot P himself he has to ask the advice of his legislation how is the king allowed to just unilaterally decide to kill hamon says the go you have to go back to the beginning of the story what do tell by the way who's M everybody knows m is H so M tells there's one thing bad law bad rule that's ridiculous that you're the king of the world and you can't make your own decision Visions from now on even if a situation is relevant to you do not ask anyone's advice you should have the only scepter you're going to make your own calls you're going to make your own judgments why should you ask anybody who new legislation Want It That should be able to make his own call of now why did ham make that legislation that the the more power has the easier it's going to be to kill Mori thank you hamon for your suicidal legislation cuz hamon just knocked off himself had hamon not changed the law of Persia he'd still be walking around he could have gone to he could have said you know you can't tell you can't say I should be hung you know you need to speak to legislation of Persian media no once issued the law now was able to say and the rest was history there's another very interesting grow if you look at number 23 in par gimmel gim the says this is the decree of we're going to send out books in the hands of the runners so what does the document say the document says that the Jews are going to be annihilated but then says what was the text of the document be ready for this day you know like Beware of the eyes of March beware of that day and and what's going to happen on that day it doesn't say so you have twoim and they're talking about two documents and the document says specifically what's going to happen and the document says absolutely nothing it just says beware of that day well says the grow very simply H is a very smart man he knew that if the official document said that on that this and this day the enemies of the Jews will annihilate them the Jews will call up the local Congress person the Jews will you know call up their politician give a little shad and we'll get out of it like we always do so H needed to keep the threat of annihilation secret therefore the the sign on the wall and all the communities just said Beware of the eyes of March be ready for this day but it didn't say what was going to happen but hon told all the runners by the way let me tell you you know FYI some uh some highly classified information we're going to be killing the Jews on this day says the gr it's a good thing hamon did it this way hamon thought by writing the documents this way he'd be able to get this plan to be executed without us being able to defend ourselves but ultimately when Esther petitions the king and Esther says somebody wants to kill us and we got a problem because K will never resend the document says I don't know what I'm going to do if I signed that the Jews could be annihilated on that day we have a problem so looks at the document and guess what the document said officially nothing it just said Beware of that day Sav says great we're just going to turn the tables and we don't even have to finagle the document we don't have to make new legislation and now the Yen will kill theim and that is ultimately part of the Salvation of so time and time again we see that every idea every notion every machination every scheme of hon of Zares wasn't foiled it wasn't stopped took it hijacked it co-opted it and used used it against them hamon thought he was going to be able to kill Mori by changing the law in Persia that the king could take the law into his own hands that's how he killed himself H thought by making a Gallow is 50 amamos tall it will be easier to kill Mori that's how he killed himself H thought he'd be able to get us so that by us not knowing what would happen on that day that's how the tables were turned by the way this is the principle of why does do this why couldn't he just you know have lightning come and hit H that would have also solved the problem why could the just knock down the tree why does he have to make it that every plan of H and zes should backfire on them soar has a the author of The writes in his that you see the perm story is very tricky God's name is not in the Milla which means we don't see any open Miracles so how are we going to recognize a KES so we would tend to think well we don't see any open Miracles but the random collection of seemingly coincidental things strung together it could not be a coincidence clearly it's the Y hasem over here I mean that that should refuse and Esther should become the queen and that should overhear the plot to kill the king and Esther should invite onto the party I mean it's got to be the hand of God but says the person may make an error and say you know what it's a coincidence maybe it's a mikra says b when there's no bik and Hashem is hidden and we don't see and the the shame is not apparent what is the single greatest demonstration that when the says you pick the poison and we'll use it on you this is the most open demonstration of the Y hasem in theas this is the side of M so that it has to be then that if the Milla is ending then is taxing the people this can't just be a way of being mag the miracle but it has to be in this um method and this procedure as well so I had an opportunity I was giving a sheer once a week in Queens in New York we were learning say for Ezra and we're learning about the rebuilding of the second B mikdash you know there's this guy dares and the Jews they don't have they don't have money they don't have money to build the second temple they're running out of goods they don't have animals to bring carbonis they don't have salt they don't have oil they don't have uh cash they can't Finance the project and this man by the name of Dar yaves by the way he's a he's a yish guy he's a Jew he has a mother who's one of the sh EST the father was a little bit of a nut job but that's beside of the point dares dares calls in Ezra and dar says you don't have money you need support you need financial assistance no problem you take a look in number 43 44 the decree is issued tells his officers you need to cooperate with the Jews to rebuild a temple where is it going to come from the Royal Estate from my tax money and whatever you need inas whatever you're missing you need Bulls you need Rams you need cows you need oil you need salt you need wheat I will supply the fin es and the and the resources to rebuild the second temple wow nice guy dares I'm assuming it it cost money to rebuild the second base of M it was quite an edifice and he's paying all this money from his Royal treasury of the tax Treasury and how could you not help but think where in the world did Dar yish get all these tax this tax money from to rebuild the second you know how the Milla ends Milla ends with what would might seem to appear as random information that a tax the people no this is not random information this is the summit of the PM story because while the Milla begins that is having a sud celebrating the fact that the prophesied that in 70 years the temple will be rebuilt and it wasn't being rebuilt so says the temple will never ever ever be rebuilt and brings out the Cale of the mikdash to celebrate and was looking down from Shay you're celebrating the temple will never be rebuilt this party that you think is celebrating that the temple will never be rebuilt you're going to kill your queen and you're going to have to bring in a new Queen named Esther and you're going to have a Jewish child and his name is going to be dares and then after you tax the people he's going to give all the money to rebuild the second temple so you think this suda is celebrating this suda was the Saba of the B so while Milla opens up in the party that was celebrating reine the Milla Ends by the end of the story friends a has become the chief fundraiser for the second B mikdash now there are who learn that H actually gave all that silver to annihilate the Jews and if you look in the N Ezra dares takes a k 10 Kikar 100 Kar of CF and he gives it to the yiden to re build a second M mikdash where did he get all the silver from thank you H H also is number two in other words if you had you know the like in every show they write the builders and the founders and so if you would go to the second B mikdash the the gold page the main builder of bayi thank you very much number two the Platinum builder of the second mdash that's the climax of the story says ran the story is not finished the ran writes that after daes took out all the money and the tax money and the cattle and the sheep and the salt he gave back the of the learns supplied the C that had defiled at the in the beginning of the PM story but we're not finished cuz now there's a man by the name of neya and neya he looks depressed he's all sad and he goes to the king and the King says why are you so upset and says you know the walls of Y lay in Ruins King what should we do about it you think you could help us rebuild the walls of and the PK says there was a sh sitting next to dares and the gar says the Shel was maybe a dog the malum says no you know who the sheal is the sheal was Esther Esther dar's mother was sitting next to him at the time that NE petitioned to rebuild the walls of and she's giving him a kick under the table say yes do it do it Finance rebuilding of the walls of Y so it's half the Milla begins takes out the of the mikdash and he's celebrating that the B mikdash will never be Reb built that very suda was the siba that vashi should die and he should marry Esther and he should have a and should take all the money of and rebuild the second mik and rebuild the walls of and this is the ultimate demonstration of is not random it's not historical detail it's not to give you context this is literally the sh the summit the greatest demonstration of in the M you know we see this great and this could definitely help us reach madga of sh to recognize is always in front of us but the highest madga I don't think is to put Hashem in front of you always you know there's a big Kasha in the Milla the re's name is not in the Milla how did hasem make a name for himself with mikra Milla could you say that you know we have this book in tanak where there's another name that doesn't appear you know who else doesn't appear in Mester not only does Hashem not appear is doesn't appear how many times does it say is in the Mig how many times does it say in the Miga how many times do it say Bob in there is no mention of the Jewish people in Milla sester isn't that odd we have a new name in millas sester you know what our name is in Miller yehud yehudim what kind of name is yehudim KES right look at the name Yehuda and you will see the name Yehuda is the sh plus the the represents how is the of the but the chair is about to to and is the name Y is the ultimate of the sh and the perhaps through the story of P we reach the MGA where it wasn't just that we place the in front of us always but an even higher M than is that the the awareness of the is part and paral of who we are where the shame is nrau and in that case there is no safer in the entire tanak where the Reon is more found than Migel but where's his name his name isn't there his name isn't there it's in us it's us we were elevated that the allowed his name to be called upon us that's the highest M of the awareness of that's beond who says the RAV Who quotes RAV bra ofas Sheilas are you going to name your kid Sheilas what kind of name is Sheilas I mean for real you're going to name your kid Sheila what kind of name is that Hungarian name what kind of Sheilas it's a boy Sheilas that re writes Rao writes and if you're someone who lives with what do you think you're going to name your kid of course you name kid Yehuda that's the of the of is not that is here and I'm here is that you should live with is part of you and then if you do that you'll be that's the greatest the greatest is if you live with you reach when you reach you have and this is what we achieved through the miracle of par perm is the greatest day chabas is a pretty good day but chabus is very tough there's that women don't drink from the of and there's a question why not and women take this a little too far if a woman's by herself and she needs to make abdah she makes havah and she drinks the wine that's the best option but all thing if she has a husband there she has someone to make abdala she doesn't drink that's a Min why in the there's a there's a from he says women don't drink from abdah because women like to emulate s who's on the Madre of shabus throughout the week in the tent of s the bread stayed fresh throughout the chabas the N was do uh do the whole week the was always over so therefore women don't drink from the narab they can't bring themselves to be M from shabas they're on such a m but we don't have a choice we have to be mdil from shabas we have no alternative can chabas comes and chabas goes we have to be mdil you know but the gar says that originally if you look at the the way PM was legislated it was legislated and then later on it says and you ever notice that the M discusses how at first tried to legislate Y and cl did not want to accept it as a y I mean are you kidding me if somebody offered you a free yam that's a day off of work who wouldn't accept the yam why wouldn't we accept the yam so hner quotes the MS that he heard not in the in one of these you know one A different from that says the reason why we didn't accept p as a yam is because if P would have been a yam we would have to be M from p and a can never be from so every it's such a sad time we have to be M from shabas we have to say we cannot be connected to shabas anymore soaz say don't sweat it because there's one day that you never have to be MD from you never have to you smell the you remember Esther you look at the narrow you rememberer and you recognize that P is per is a day where we live with the awareness that it doesn't matter what thee against us Hashem doesn't have to abolish it he could manipulate it and hijack it and co-opt it and if we feel that then we reach the M PM is not only one day a year we carry it with us throughout the year it's uh it's through PM we recognize how is constantly with us and thereby we're to thanks so much thank you brandise for arranging uh my comment and until next time you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
