23rd of Sivan - Today is a Special Day!

Today is the 23rd day of Sivan. What's special about this day? Ask the average person they'll tell you, "Nothing really. It's an ordinary day on the Jewish calendar. It's not a festival. It's not the beginning of a new month. It's not even a fast day." And yet, the truth is it's an incredibly powerful day. And the secret of this day lies buried right at the end of the Purim story. Strange cuz this is not the month of Purim. And yet, towards the end of the Purim story we're told that this happened. Haman, the enemy of the Jewish people, had been destroyed. The Jews have been saved from a genocidal plot against them. And then, on the 23rd of Sivan, the king, Ahasuerus, turns to the royal scribes and says, "Whatever Mordecai instructs you to write into law on behalf of the Jewish people, take his word. It has to be as he says." The Rebbe points out that the 23rd of Sivan, like any other day in Jewish history, is not just a date in history. It's an energy related to this day that comes to life every year again on its anniversary. The 23rd of Sivan is the anniversary of the time where HaMelech, as the Megillah calls him, the king, that's God, speaks to Mordecai, who the mystics tell us represents the Jewish soul, and says, "Today you have the chance to instruct my royal scribes to write whatever you choose." It's not a day just for prayer. It's not a day just to have our prayers answered. It's a day where we are empowered if we're sincere in our requests, and we instruct the spiritual entities that Hashem empowers to bless us, then they have to grant, the heavenly court so to speak, the angels so to speak, have to grant the blessings that we instruct. Take advantage today. Ask for things that you need. Instruct for a better world. Please God, Hashem will bless us to have it inscribed and sealed in his name. Have a great day. Stay safe.
