Guarded by the King of all Kings

We have a machlokes which is actually in Tosfos. How to learn the Gemara Megillah daf kuf zayin amud beis. Divrei shalom ha'emes melamdeches k'sivah k'mitzvah shel Torah. According to Rashi, it means like a sefer Torah. By the way, Rashi's loshon is k'sivah Torah atzmis. Everybody mutters with the Brisker Rav, why does Rashi say k'sivah Torah atzmis? He should have said k'sivah Torah atzmis. This is one of the more obvious ha'aros on the Brisker Rav, the yesh l'hashiv of course. But the bottom line is, Rashi learns that it means literally like a sefer Torah. Tosfos says that k'mitzvah shel Torah means the mezuzah. And it's very sossom. It's very sossom. Why would the mezuzah be referred to as a mitzvah shel Torah? But even more so, Megillah requires sirtut like the mezuzah. As if there's some connection between the mezuzah and between the story of Purim. Right? Sounds like there's some connection. What shaychis? Mai inyan Megillas Esther etzel mezuzah? To quote the Chasam Sofer in one of his drashos, this was actually ironically a Chanukah drasha in the year taf kuf peh vov in Pressburg. So the Chasam Sofer brings Shitas Tosfos that what does it mean Megillah tzircha sirtut k'mitzvah shel Torah? It means like a mezuzah. And his loshon is bitzarich tavlin. Needs a little bit of spice. Mai ta'ama d'talya Megillah b'mezuzah? Why would we compare the Megillah to the mezuzah? So the Chasam Sofer said he saw it. He said that it's Yedu, we know the Gemara Maseches Avodah Zarah daf yud amud beis. The Gemara says Unkelus ben Klonimus giyer. Unkelus says in Targum Unkelus, he was megayer. And Shav the Keisar gundei d'rei Maya b'asrei. And the Romans, they tried bringing him back cuz he was a very important person and it was a big bizayon for them that he crossed over and he became a Jew. So they tried willing him back. The problem is every time a Roman would come and he would talk to Unkelus, Unkelus would somehow convince him to be a Yehudai and And were just losing people left and right. And finally they said that you're going to go to Onkelos, you're going to take him, but you're not going to say one word to him. Don't even breathe, right? You literally have to go, don't exhale. After they cut. And the Gemara says, you know, it didn't work. This is the last part of the story. So Shaddai Gunda they finally sent like the last troops to come get him. I'm like, "Oh, oh." So he told them like to destroy me by the right. Don't talk to Cannot deliver as they were walking. Khazars to the man piss off. So Onkelos was walking out of his door. They were walking him out. He sees the mezuzah. So what does he do when he sees the mezuzah? Kisses the mezuzah. I said you all put his hands on it. Actually didn't kiss it, right? We agreed on that. But he put his hand on the mezuzah. But oh, oh. So my high So on relay, right? My high off the amulet on that. Right? He said, "Do you know why I just put my hand on the mezuzah?" And they said, "No, we don't know." So it's like, "Are you curious?" I said, "Well, then." He says, "We're not allowed to talk, right? You just tell me. Why did you do that?" Onkelos says, "I'm going to tell you." Menachem Shalom. Melach of the Yoshe of name. He says, "Look around the world. Go to any royal palace. So you're going to find that the king is sitting inside. And he's going to have watchmen that are going to be standing outside. But I wanted to his client so they sit in their houses. The home He watches them from the outside. When they have heard this guy or they were and soon they were and the Romans said, "You know, let's just write off Onkelos. We're not going to get him back. And Zal let it be the way it is." What is the symbolism? What is the significance of the mezuzah? The significance of the mezuzah is that I could just borrow who I wanted to be with him. The one I could just borrow who are inside for whom I could just borrow who I could just borrow who standing and he's watching guard for us. Imagine we're the avid. We're the nobodies, but I could just go home stands in front and he guards our house. I tell you says we come, we go and always protecting us. He's always watching us may and that's what symbolize with the mezuzah. So I think it's said like this. He says we know that when the Eden had a base on mikdash when it was shown in the was shown in the base of mikdash and the mission says in the beginning of me there were 24 posts in the base of mikdash with the they would stand guard and they would watch it's covered for the base of mikdash that they're watching and they're protecting to show that the is the and the is over there. When it's shown in and when there's a base of mikdash so then the says the is and we're of when but when client stroll doesn't have a base of mikdash and when we don't have this and when we find ourselves in a massive of when sometimes we need to hide in our house because what's going on outside is very scary and what's going outside is very VERY DANGEROUS. SO I'M GOING TO WATCH YOU THEN AND I'M GOING TO BE looking out for you. I'm going to be standing guard for you. YOU STOOD GUARD FOR ME ONCE UPON A TIME. NOW I'M GOING TO BE STANDING guard for you and that's symbolized with the mezuzah. So said that really from the time that he didn't come into Israel it really wasn't so this Indian. He says but then they went to go and when they went to go they found themselves already in and they found themselves in and during that it was very very very dangerous. I'll tell you they was already a final solution and that was already passed by and and the situation was going to be very very bad and the other were hiding inside cuz they knew that there was a date that every single any of you who had circled on his calendar where their life was going to be a tremendous risk. And the truth is he didn't even deserve it the Gamorah says in the Sakhis Megillah, right? Hazal say what did Klal Yisrael do that they deserve cloyah? The Tamidim there's different reasons tell them whatever. But the bottom line is on some level this is actually something that they deserve. Yet Hakadosh Baruch Hu was willing to ask them the way God asked them the way he asked them the way he asked them. Hakadosh Baruch Hu said I'm going to watch you and I'm going to make sure that nothing's going to happen to you that ultimately you are going to be saved. The ultimate expression said the Chasam Sofer where Avoda was made with name the Yidden were hiding for their lives. There's a final solution but Hakadosh Baruch Hu was made with that's something that played itself out. Where did it play itself out? With the Purim story. He says that's why that's why Megillah has to have certain Kamisa Shel Torah like the Mezuzah. He says you want to know what the Kesher Drosh but what the Kesher is between Megillas Esther and the Mezuzah? They both symbolize this Indian. They both symbolize that it doesn't matter how low we fall and it doesn't matter how bleak the situation is but remember we could be hiding in our house but Hakadosh Baruch Hu says may in this time of Golus we should be watching the that's the way it's supposed to be and that's the way it is when it's K'seder Tikuna but when a Yid is in Golus and we don't have that level of if I cared we're the ones that need the Shmira. So after Hakadosh Baruch Hu I got you. That's symbolized by the Mezuzah like Unkelos Bar Koinemus said the Shainai Targum Shelai to the Roman officers that's something that's part and parcel of the story of the Megillah. That's the Tavlin said the Chasam Sofer that we need to add to a little bit of a deeper appreciation and understanding of why it is we would ever compare Megillas Esther to the Mezuzah.
