Flatbush Hakhel - The Story of Purim Like Never Before

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com foreign so the big question is so when does this begin when does this Mandate of simcha start so crimeevsky says I know people are getting very nervous already because the prospect of having to be happy is uh very difficult for people it's one of the most uh difficult months of the year where people think I actually have to smile after I actually be happy ah seems much easier people are getting nervous they may have to move their facial muscles in a more vertical position so don't worry I'm here to give you the kulaim kenyevsky repaying poskins does not begin until the second day so you could breathe a sigh of relief that you don't have to start being happy until the second day of why because the first day is however the banishkai writes him up already from the Moylan you have to start being happy with Nevin's all right then we begin being with so we're definitely within arms wreath and I think another opinion possibly could be if haquel has a special sheer to play that would begin like we say in Yiddish but the good times wrong let's speak a little bit about Esther hamalka of all the individuals in Tanakh of all the Sadiq in the Titanic Esther hamalka seemed to have lived the most lonely isolated life of anybody in the entire Tanakh we all know s if she had no father and mother why does the plastic have to say it was says the gemara when her mother conceived her father died when her mother gave birth her mother died so Esther was no ordinary orphan Esther wasn't just someone who had no father and had no mother Esther never saw her father she never saw her mother you say okay okay but we all know that Esther's marriage to Mordecai was not long-lasting at a certain point in time Mordechai tells Esther you have to go to atasper says so Esther goes to her ghost packages and now not only does she have no father she has no mother she has no husband she's also tomorrow Esther had no naka from her marriage she did have a child Diary Of Us presumably she did not have Yiddish did allow the building of the second base Hamid us however there seemingly did not Accord himself like a showerman attorneys so Esther has no father she has no mother she has no husband she has no Jewish descendants and certainly who are we to probe the darkish Hashem but a little bit let's try to understand why the great sadakis with the Magilla is named after had to suffer this Faith where she has no parents no husband no children why was this the fate of Esther hamata there's a frightening story mentioned in the sacred Adam is the biography of the brother of zalmallah and there he records a story about a woman who in 1492 during the time of the Spanish Inquisition she had her two sons slaughtered in front of her eyes and at that occasion she raised her eyes heavenward and she says rewind until now I loved you but my love for you was not an ahavaima because I had to share my love to you with my love for my two children but now that you've taken my two children from me panisi lavavi Leon Smith my heart is fully open and available only for your love this is what this sadaka said on that fateful day when her two children were slaughtered before her in 1492 now she says I've been able to makayang did not cry showed no external signs of mourning foreign [Music] that although being alone in life is not an easy fate and it's a challenging faith and it's a difficult life circumstance certainly life is more enjoyable with parents with with a spouse with children and we're all misspelled to have such company in life but if someone is in a circumstance without any they have a certain opportunity foreign and on the other hand the gemara says in Shabbos Hashem coerced us and the garage says but don't worry so there was one cabala satoya Bara sign in the times of Purim and there was one Kabbalah satoya Bharat sign at harcina said the nishma was that that was also Barat side but there was another in the times it says this as well foreign could it be then that if Esther is going to be the catalyst to elevate the Jewish people so that we can be macabelle which requires a diary of avas Hashem of then Esther had to be an individual whose heart was completely available for amazing in Esther's heart not for ahava for Hiram not for Abba for a bowel not for Abba for bunnym her heart was completely overflowing only with avas Hashem she was selected to be the catalyst to bring Claudia's world to the level of kabbalah's perhaps this explains the fate of Esther hamalta because in order to metabolism I want to bring your attention to the end of The Forum story we know the last plastic of the megawa the Magilla ends off as it should we talk about mordekai the second in command so God Allah he's great and most of the kahila likes him which is as best as you're gonna get if you're a rabbi and that's how the Magilla ends up by the way Robbie Ruffin has a whole smooth wanted to do lassoy's Curtis he wanted to please everyone that was his mistake why do you have to want to please everyone you see Russell do you want to please only the Revenge some could please everyone but that's not the discussion today the Magilla ends that is second in command he was honored by the majority of the Jewish people am I the diversary but let's focus our attention for a moment not on the second to last plastic of the magella how do you say second to last in English paneled very good we're going to focus today on the third to last pasta golden megilla how do you say third to last in English the anti-pen ultimate in mcgilla Vayas Esther Begins the third to last taxes the people who cares why does the Magilla need to record that after search taxes the people is this relevant to the Purim story is this connected to the Salvation of Cloudy Israel to the downfall of Haman we need to know at the parish's financial planning I mean the mcgilla goes back and forth it starts off he gave respite to the taxes then he raises the taxes but why is the grand finale of the gilas Esther then after church taxes the people especially in light of the fact that the very next person is you want to know the historical context of the story you want to know the palace intrigue the background the Persian politics you got the wrong book I'll say foreign really referring us to go to the great repositories of Persian media open up large volumes and start reading the history of personal media what's the medulla telling us this is the central message of the Magilla this is not a historical document nothing was written to give you context of the times there's no political Intrigue here you want to know that information wrong book go to The Chronicles of Persia media this book was written for one reason and one reason only pursue a Nissa to see the anashem to see us go to practice really so why did the public before says taxed the people asks the briskeron friends I want to share with you an idea to answer this question an original idea that will open up to us new Vistas and understanding miguelas Esther we will understand the Magilla in a completely revolutionary way and will open up our minds not only to understand the miracle of Purim but to understand how this works throughout Jewish history and all we need to know are three words of gemara okay you don't need to know more than that three words of helmet badly so Haman has this great plan by the way if I could share with you you know see at the end of bashallah case somehow is minimizing the name of Hashem he's taking the year and he's making it caught where do we find where do we find in the megillah that hamon is minimizing the name of Hashem do we find him does the plastic say Hammond went to a sinner and he checked to make sure the cameras were off and he started to cut off letters oh you see I said hashem's name where do we see that Haman in any way affected the Shane Hashem and the answer is Haman did not say anything about the shame of hashan but there is one entity in this world that reflects name and that is cloudy soil we are the reflection of Hashem you know what telecast and broadcast to the world that there's one God foreign [Music] God you know we talk about the subject of Jewish Unity it's the most abused misunderstood Concept in the Torah why is akhta so important I understand it we shouldn't fight we shouldn't bicker but why do I have to like you why do you have to like me well come to school we'll sit next to each other you'll dive in what is the great ideal of Israel destroyed the answer is if we are not good we broadcast to the world that Hashem is not effort we are the ambassadors of God in this world he entity the reality of Hashem is telecasted to this world through the entity of the Jewish people that's why we're going to say in the Haggadah about the Russia well the fees because he doesn't participate with the seabor he's a Kaiser he's not part of the Seymour how's your kaifa the answer is if the Russia says there's the sibur and then there's me then what he's saying is they will show you are saying and he's a cover so Haman says to the world yes [Music] ah once we're matthyroid what he's saying is the Hashem is not effort that's why rubiana says that zerish tells someone you better go to the melach in the morning says quite impression why before Krishna listen to this very importantly site when we say Shema we usually think Shema you soil listen listen all Israel listen Claudius while that's not the full meaning of the word Shema doesn't mean listen yes galvanizing gathered together Israel as one Manila if we unite then the message is we don't have to say it our unification itself he speaks there's one God therefore Sarah said if you're going to accuse the Jewish people okay that was just way of digression so Haman makes sure to come in the morning and that night we all know upstairs couldn't sleep and he's tossing and he's turning and after she has Footsteps in the courtyard who's in the courtyard for the outer Courtyard of the king to say to the king this place is on the tree you ready for these words [Music] that he prepared for him literally that Haman prepared for Mordechai ask the gemara there's an extra word here the word lie is extra it should say that [Music] he prepared it for mardify why does it have to say for him says the gemara all you need to know is three words Tana Roy Haven he didn't prepare it for Mordechai he prepared it for himself compared The Gallows for himself this is the central theme of Miguel assassin where every plan every National Nation every scheme of Haman Hashem did not have to foil the plan Hashem said you give me the plan you give me the scheme and I will hijack it co-opt it and use it against him case in point Hama makes these Gallows 50 amways tall how tall is 50 amazed 50 ammises according to has an inch 100 feet tall you can't even see so tall you can't see below 20 amways above 20 amways why would Hummer make such a monstrosity of an eyesore of a Gallows 50 almost 12. so the garage planes because haman's husband was this ahas Fierce guy as a wishy-washy guy he can't make up his mind if he's gonna try to presents you know I think we should hang Mordecai and after church is going to hem and he's gonna haul and he's gonna speak to us I'll eat them and speak to Mamu Khan until the whole thing until the dust settles it will never happen so what we're gonna do is we're gonna create this eyesore staring in the face of the king in a moment of rage I'm gonna get after serious angry at Mordechai and we'll say Tallulah and that's exactly what backfired on how long so Hama takes a misstep with Esther if a day would have passed Haman would have talked himself out of the whole thing he said I fell I I slipped it was an accident it was a mistake don't you know I'm loyal to you and humming would have gotten himself but in a fit of rage and he sees the tree staring him in the face and uh he says Tallulah so they hang him this is a central theme of the megillah on Purim we're going to say foreign what's the difference between Itza and mashaba the going says is a plan that comes to fruition is merely a thought that never gets played out hence rabbis Massachusetts many thoughts Hashem only God has itsa only God's final plan is actually executed therefore we're going to stay in the megillah yes you foiled his ultimate plan it never came to fruition did a lot more than that and he corrupted them he co-opted them he hijacked them to accomplish what the revolution wanted to come to accomplish so let's give a few examples of this there was a man by the name of Isaiah was a navi he said the shortest he said one paragraph say foreign says the gemara this illustrates the phenomenon from the forest itself comes the handle for the ax you have a forest you have thousands of trees a day later there are no more trees left what happened the Forester came he had a blade but in order to knock down the trees he needs a handle for the blade where does the handle of the blade come from says the gemara from the forest itself comes the handle for the ax that's the way three bun shop operates Adam is going to have a downfall who prophesizes about the downfall of that diamond only ivadia who was a gear adoimi he came from Edom from the forest itself came the handle for the ax so there's a man by the a man by the name of Moshe rabina he's a little baby he's floating in the Nile now if you're a baby floating in the Nile what do we call a baby floating in the Nile lunch they're crocodiles in the Nile I once spoke in Phoenix Arizona so they took me to an aquarium and in the aquarium they have an albino crocodile and you watch this the trainer comes into the room and he has a slab of meat on the stick he goes like that the albino crocodile is 10 feet away within a split second he snaps at that piece of meat so quickly and gets back to his spot it's faster than your eye could take in the scene so when the babies were floating in the Nile they usually didn't make it power I got official word from his astrologers that today will be born the my Shion shall you saw we all know if he's going to be Jewish if he's going to be a gentile so therefore power to create collab then every boy we have to throw him in the Nile and the revolution is laughing at Power you think this gazera is going to bring an end to the savior of the Jewish people watch this parody and Pyro's own daughter was bathing in the Nile Rashi says she was bathing to convert she was being magaya and she hears boyfriend and she brings them in and she brings them into the house and that night power is trying to fall asleep and he hears noise coming from the Next Room Basia what's going on what's that racket coming from your room you had a baby you didn't tell me about that yeah don't worry dad I found him where'd you find him go back to sleep don't worry I found him in the Nile but Dad do me a favor he's gonna keep me up all night would you mind holding the baby for an hour so I could get a little sleep rocks baby moisture to sleep and an hour later Basia says you know we don't have any formula in the house do you want to go out to CVS to get some formula so Paris says uh do you have any money no put it on your American Express card you take care of the bill Who provided home from my shopping Who provided food for him who raised my sharabeno paroi paroi brought up moisture albino ask Stephen Ezra why did arranged that Moshi should grow up the base parallel says that Vanessa was if Moshe would have grown up among the Jewish people he would have had a slave mentality he would have had low morale he never would have had the personality to be a leader he had to be a king was a melat that he'd be sure paroi created Mauritius so pirate thought he was going to put an end to my Shi until Israel if not for the Godzilla club we wouldn't have had Maisha not only did Karen not eradicate mashian paroi groomed that's the type of that we're going to see in Miguel asses then this is a very difficult question on Magilla what did the documents say when Haman drafted his decree what did those documents say so I could refer you to number 23 plus it says that the documents stated to obliterate to murder to destroy all the Jewish people and yet if you look in the next Castle the text of the documents what it said openly foreign it didn't say what would happen on that day it just said be ready for that date Beware of the eyes of March that's all the document says so it's a contradiction prosecutive gimmel says the document said that they were going to be murdered says just be ready for that taste as the film The guy with what he thought was was afraid that if the public documents to the governor and the public documents to the people if on the poshka villain on the broadsides it said on the 13th of Adar the Jewish people would be annihilated if we would get wind of what his plan was so we would know what to do we would go to the governor we would go to the mayor we would take out a few Benjamins and we would be makaiim the passage we would bribe our way out of it so Haman did not want the Jewish people to get wind of what his plan was so in the private letters to the governors and the Mayors indeed it said but in the public broadsides in the poshka villain all it says was Leo is beware Haman didn't want us to know what was going to happen on the 13th of Azan fast forward the story Esther reveals she's a Jew she says says okay what would you like me to do so Essa says we need you to rescind the decree Andrea says I can't do it is I can't resend the decree sign still delivered Esther said officers look carefully after decree all the decrees said was Lea is there the full Hama never put in the document what would happen on the 13th it just said be ready for the 13th so I had the great ideas there let's just tweak it is so how much Plan backfired on him he thought this would be the only way to ensure he'd be able to execute his plan and this was the pesach he left to have the tables turned on top of him and that's how he dug his own grave now here's a very difficult question is a problem with his wife this is not America in 2020. this is a Persian dictator Persian dictators had a different wife every Monday in nursing if you have an issue with your wife you do not ask the advice of an assembly or a congress forget that any judicial reforms in Persia the wives listens and if she doesn't says but why is he asking the advice whether this is a democracy all of a suddenly says the film a guy now we understand the law in Persia was the king called all the shots the king could make you know lateral decision however that's only if it's not him [Music] himself he was required to ask advice but wait a second so then why in the end of the Magilla when she's fuming and he steps outside and Haman is there and then after this comes back in and he doesn't know what to do the tree is looming why don't you hang him why did he have to ask the advice what happened to the law in Persia that austeros needed to ask me advice of his assembly the answer is there's one very important detail we forgot to mention there was a specific legislation made in Persia and that is [Music] she's messing with old husbands so I propose the following Miller for love says we're going to made the following proposal you're going to allow there to be a law in Persia that you have to ask him when it's from now on yeah and what is propose that wolves says that he actually tried her out but let's put it nicely takam Cheney says they hadn't invented Listerine so it didn't work out says Hashem created ruach peanut so Haman thought he's making this proposal to advance his own cause to put his daughter in place because he didn't like vashti but Haman is digging his own grave because when he takes the misstep with Esther really officer should have had a colon and they would have said he tripped he fell and found his fault all kinds of my sister he would have gotten off the hook but because hamon proposed the law Yates said okay foreign thinking about this concept every time within a month of Purim this idea just takes over my mind may you see this in in safe operations the brothers tell you is safe you're going to be a mela you're not going to be a melon we will okay you know what instead of an idea Sam says you think you're going to put a stamp on hamola no you're going to be the transportation service to bring your things to the Makai we're hoping now we could have shot did not stop the plan of Hashem Hashem used the shlatan to execute it that's the manner of that we're talking about and if you'll ask why does Hashem operate this way all right he wrote Russia is based on it says the chance of based on it first he says this in a very philosophical way he says that usually a nation has a certain ministering Angel let's say the ministry angel of Egypt was mine so they drowned all the Jewish kids so in order to counteract them another Nation would have to come along with the ministering angel of fire and one up the ministry angel of water but the emotional never operates that way the river says you picked the poison and I'll give it to you to drink says Revolution you like water I'll drown you in your water it says it's very hard to see how close if we were to point to any one isolated incident in the Gila can we point to anything that happened in the prime story and say this was miraculous that was miraculous it would be you'd be hard-pressed to say oh that was a miracle what was the miracle that Bashi didn't listen that afterwards killed her that Esther became the queen that Mordechai heard the plot to kill the king what exactly was miraculous about the Portland story says the beasts of it the clearest manifestation of the anashem and the golus is this mechanism of Life [Music] says you pick the Russia you pick the poison you pick the plan and I will use that plan to accomplish what I want to accomplish this is the clearest manifestation of seeing at College in this world and now I take you to the end of the story let's fast forward the story five to ten years the Jewish people are now returning to rebuild the second base and as recorded and safe for Ezra the Jewish people don't have enough money to build the second base so they turned to the king to Darius they say Darius thank you for the information to rebuild the base of mcdosh we can't afford it Sedalia says so make a charity campaigns that wasn't invented yet so Darius says you know what the plastic says the number 43 um the decree should be issued to cooperate with these elderly Jews who lives to rebuild the Temple [Music] immediately give them all the tax money to rebuild the second base hamiktas and I ask you one simple question where did Darius get all this tax money from [Music] now we know why the mcgilla ends then after search tax to people Magilla begins that I'm a search of having a student and what was he celebrating after church was celebrating at the suda that the navya said the Temple of being built in 70 years wasn't rebuilt it will never be rebuilt is celebrating the Eternal destruction of the second Days by the end of the story which has become the chief fundraiser to build the second baseman but watch how this turns yours is sitting there at the Suda he's rejoicing the base of leaders will never be revealed he thinks this suda is celebrating the Eternal destruction of the ways elevation is laughing you think this Judah is celebrating the destruction of this sudha is rebuilding the based on make dust because you're going to call vashi she's not going to come you're gonna knock her off you're gonna marry Esther you can have Darius you're gonna collect taxes you're gonna die and you're gonna give it to him to rebuild the second basecentric Dash you think you're celebrating Corbin the Magilla comes out retroactively the megillah ends on the first collections the taxes so it comes out from the beginning the whole party was really a celebration of the billion magazine and if you think that this type of is reserved and limited to the Purim story we have to just open up our eyes a little bit and we'll see that throughout Jewish history this is the method this is the mode of with which Hashem brings Yeshua Israel I'll share with you two examples you ever hear of Lakewood Yeshiva for Baron that's what you thought actually it goes way cool Yeshiva goes back much smooth before you know 1950. goes back actually a few hundred years earlier there was a king and a queen they were [Music] embarking on a mission of reconquest them to reconquer the entire Iberian Peninsula to rid it of Muslim infidels to remove every Jew from the Iberian Peninsula so the Jewish people will never have a Haven will never have a Homeland we'll never be able to build Jewish institutions we'll never be able to observe the Torah and on August 2nd 1492 Ferdinand and Isabel decreed the Spanish Inquisition and they expelled 300 000 Jews from Spain and they get a knock on the door what would you like Christopher I have this really great idea I think if we just if you could pay for and commission sending me with my men we're gonna discover a new country and we're going to expand Spanish power how much is it going to be expensive proposition but king queen you want to be you want to rename an idea you want to expand Spanish influence influence so on that day Ferdinand and Isabella financed Columbus's voyage and on August 3rd Friday the day after tishaba Christopher Columbus set sail to discover a much greater Haven for the Jewish people in fact we have a report from a cabin boy who when he was leaving the harbor in Spain in 1492. being taken out of the country he waved to the Nina the Pint on the saturia that were docked in the harbor ready to set sail the very next day Ferdinand Isabella you think you're gonna rid that very potential Jewish influence the Jewish people will never have a home will never have a Haven you will be the ones to finance the country that has been the aksanya of Claudia Israel in the most comfortable way we ever were in any fellas that was discovered this is an observation of Arava Victor Miller but then something else dawned on me something that happened in this century which is really the television who were to ask in the last 200 years which country was the greatest enemy of the Jewish people and of course many Medina is going to vying for this prestigious status and many people will say of course it's Germany but probably is Russia in the 19th century the Russians had a formal plan to destroy the Jewish people because most Jews in the 19th century in the world lived in Russia they were going to exterminate one-third they're going to expel one-third and one-third would just become acculturated that's why in the end of the 19th century about 2 million Jews had nowhere to go they had to leave Russia many people think the Germans invented systematic extermination of the Jewish people now the Russians invented it they just weren't very good at it it takes them a long time to do something like if you want to buy a car in Russia so you put down twenty seven thousand dollars and they tell you come back August 13 2054. so you know the guy said morning or afternoon when it's in 30 years no no the Plumber's coming in the morning right that's how things work in Russia so the Germans were more efficient they perfected it and the probably the greatest butcher in the history of the world Joseph Stalin he killed 20 million of his own and in 1948 during the war of independence he got this crazy idea that you know the Jewish homeland the Jews were fighting for a Homeland they're socialists they'll probably be marxists and communists and they're preferable to be in Palestine than the Democratic Brits so Stalin funded the war of independence not only that Stalin sent his own troops to fight the Arabs in the world Independence even though in the last 60 years the greatest supporter of any Arab aggression against Jewish people is the Soviet Union Stalin got in his head the Jews need a Homeland and when it came time to recognize the state of Israel Stalin voted to support and recognize the state of Israel God took the greatest butcher in history so that there could be Amir Yeshiva today in yerushalayim who put the war of independence Soviet Union inexplicable but that's how close Bronco operates but it's interesting there's a little bit of a turn of events because after Israel was recognized and Ben-Gurion was favoring uh was covering favor with with America so it it enraged Stalin so Stalin came up with what was called the doctor's plan where he was going to finish the job that Hitler began and he had a plan in place for March 6 1953 to exterminate between two and four million Jews were left in the Soviet Union and he accused six doctors of poisoning the patients in the hospitals they were they were trumped up charges against them and Stalin had railroad tracks built to take two to four million Jews to the north of Russia where the temperatures between negative 70 and negative 90 degrees they would all die had to jump within weeks the camps were built concentration camps were built the railroad tracks were built the plan was in place for March 6 1953 when Stalin made a plan Stalin carried out the plan he was strong like an eyes he had nerves of Steel he had already murdered 20 million people that year Purim came out on mostly Shabbos in a can gather together some inmates and they were laning the story of Purim and after the story review said you see you see we had a woman before and the tables turned that happened to Daddy but it can happen again and one of the inmates said Rabbi what are you telling us nonsense about some ancient legend what happened to that this is Stalin we're talking about he's already murdered 20 million people it's only in a few weeks March 6th our abuse of silver says Stalin is a bus or badan he said this at 7 50 p.m Purim 1953 exactly 70 years ago no human being knows what will be in 30 minutes at 8 23 on the clock Stalin was healthy like an ox stroked out 33 minutes later immediately thousands of Jewish prisoners on current seven years ago just walked out of their cells Stalin needs a doctor huh there are no Jewish doctors they're rolling down there's nobody to cure Stalin and you were just left to die and review said zilber said if he knows to heal him today it's because he had this moral dilemma can you dab him for a Russia to drop dead and he said of course you can and he said to heal him after to heal him after to heal him after till until the report came to him that on March 5th one day before the plan was supposed to be executed Stalin died a day before the execution of two to four million Soviet Jews in 1953. coming to the Lafayette was the president of Czechoslovakia Clements godwald earlier Czechoslovakia freed a hundred thousand Jews to go to Israel Stalin was so angry he ordered godwald to assassinate every member of the Czechoslovakian government which he did and God will came to Stalin's leviah and got old stroked out at the lavalia at Stalin and on March 6 laying side by side Joseph Stalin Clement gotwald for a miracle 70 years ago this is the manner of how often we get caught up we need this person in power to bring yeshua's for cloud Israel we need this President we need this prime minister we need this official of course we have to do his Shadows but give the rebunisher more credit than needing plenty Almighty to bring your shoes [Applause] because she was why is that a reason to bring Allah because she quoted her sources because she told us that it wasn't me who saved you it was Mordecai it's a nice middle it's an evil why is that the ingredient of Yeshua says to bring Yeshua for Claudia Israel he only needs one thing that we recognize that it's him and therefore the most important thing to be involved in be bringing your shorts to Cali soil is if you know how to give credit to your friend because if you know how to give credit to your friend then when the ghoula happens you're gonna say it wasn't me it was rebunishment the purpose is for us to recognize goyal um Japanese by selling the food that money went to the evening with Ryan that was Allah right here you've just
