a person is obligated
literally to get drunk on Purim as
to the point where he doesn't know the
difference between
a very strange obligation
why would anybody how could we uh ever
even say such a thing that gazal expect
us to become so inebriated that we don't
know the difference between
and
even very interesting you know say
there's an obligation
that I'm putting a person is supposed to
say
and you're supposed to say
well what's the reason for that you're
supposed to say
do you ever have anywhere in the whole
Torah you have to say you know our Para
or uh our antiochas or the bad guys we
never find you have to say
yeah
what's this
you're supposed to curse the bad guys
was the curse someone you're supposed to
give you're supposed to give Mordechai
why
so they have an amazing thing here in
the introduction
um to the commentary of the nasiva
samishbat the one of the greatest works
on hawaka is called the nasiva and the
nasiva
wrote a commentary on McGillis Esther
called megilla cesaram and he writes in
his
no no
he writes in his introduction to the
Magilla the following if you take a look
at number two
foreign these stages of the Shahs have a
Traditions
were obligated to read it from beginning
to land
what are they teaching us why do you
have to read the Magilla from beginning
to end
that everything in the megillah
everything is needed for the miracle
and then he says a few lines down
he says
God prepared
to raise us up big grandma Milos to the
highest level Australians to this point
because I'll tell us
that person is obligated to imbibe
enough alcohol
to not know the difference between
specifically
it's a Wonder Years
why should a person get drunk what's the
reason for that
is
we know that getting drunk brings to
every forbidden practice every other in
the world is caused by getting drunk and
here on Purim for some reason command us
specifically to drink wine okay
so what the nasivas offers to us is a an
amazing concept and it's a concept that
really uh a person should think about
not only every day of their life but
really every moment of their life and
that is we don't understand the
repercussions of our actions we don't
know how we could do one thing it could
lead to be which could lead to C that
could lead to D that could lead to e and
ultimately everything that is caused by
our actions we are responsible for for
example you know you greet someone on
the street you say good morning to them
they're in a good mood because they're
in a better mood they do a casa to
someone that maybe they won't have done
otherwise and they dedication to someone
that person learns to do and his
children learn from him and then for the
next 30 Generations all the Hassan that
are performing were all because you did
one thing good morning
you know we don't think of it like that
way
cesarsivos
who was the good guy Mordechai or Haman
Rabbi said we could make a very strong
case the good guy in the Purim story was
Haman
and the bad guy in the burn story was
Mordechai
how could you make that case
very simply think about it tells us some
assess the Magilla we had 48 prophets in
our history
so basically did not do a great job
yeah
amazed
no one listen to them nobody listened to
Navin in fact year Mia we threw stones
at him
Zachariah we killed him you think people
like to hear Musser you think people
like to hear when the rabbi gets up and
says you know if you don't come to
minion three times a day maybe we were
not gonna consider you a good Jew you
know people don't want to hear that if
people could they would take a sitter
and throw it at the rabbi
I don't want to hear people don't want
to hear that if you don't learn every
day you're not a good Jew people don't
want to hear that if they could they
would take the bhima and they you know
cuff on the rabbi hard kadigas
so all the Nevada basically did not do a
great job
you know who did the best job of Oman of
him come on
because by taking the Ring of
and writing all the Jews should be
murdered what did that make us do
unheralded shuva on the highest level we
ever had so if we were to ask which
individual in history has the greatest
come on
Haman is the biggest Sadiq the world has
ever seen this no question without a
doubt Haman if you were to ask which
person in history has the biggest
success ever
my sharabenu Jeremiah
the person who has the greatest of
course in history
come on
and if you'd ask and which person could
we say maybe Shalom was the biggest
did that which is the worst thing ever
in the history of Kalisa Molokai no
question
why what did Mordechai do
morkai didn't want to bow down to Haman
she said what's bad about that who asked
him to go on the street and when Herman
comes by not bow down let him stay home
let him learn in the base matters where
do you think he spent his time what's he
going in the street and then humans
passing by and he's not bowing down to
Hamad he's instigating Haman and because
of that Helen wants to kill Claudia so
which individual is responsible for the
uh for the almost annihilation of kaiso
Mordechai so the biggest static in
history is the biggest
we could make the case was Mordechai
so you say yeah Mordechai didn't intend
to cause our Annihilation Hammond didn't
cause us to do tuba yeah but we know God
pays a person back if a person causes
something good even unattended
if a person causes something bad even
without kavana they're punished so
Mordecai we're not so happy with him in
fact the gemara says
that claiso were constantly criticizing
Mordechai they didn't like the fact you
know who asked him to stick his nose
into Hammond's face and then Thomas and
then not bow down stay home eat your
bagel eat drink your coffee don't go
into homan's face
don't go into Hellman's face
a great guy someone's the best humans
you know maybe we should make him
we should put him up on the bhima
yeah
what's the answer
what's the answer the answer is Haman
didn't intend to do anything good
Mordechai didn't intend to do anything
bad but
has and some demerit Mordechai has so
how do we get around that so says
made the following takana we know young
man
how you doing
good
we know made a takana like this we find
that after afshalom was killed right
after I've Shalom died
so then Dominic said eight times
when David said beneath each time that
was invoking
was the son of David and ultimately
ultimately
it took off Shalom out of the seven
chambers of gehennam he said beneath one
time he left chamber seven he left said
beneath saying them six five and he said
at the eighth time absalam went to Gane
then so we see there's a certain thing
that you could give someone a bracha
take away their demerits says
the good guy and how long is the bad guy
you should be so famished and so tumult
and confused and confused and fun
accused that you don't know anymore
who's better Mordecai or Homan because
you think to yourself well you know got
us into the mess hamon made it that we
accepted
so what do we do to take away haman's
Merit all of classical every single year
how many times do we clap when we say
haman's name how many times name in the
megillah
four times
God says I'm going to wipe out the 54
mentions
let's take a look on Yoshida number six
and with this we conclude
so wonder what kind of thing is it you
ever hear anybody going around saying no
yeah yeah
you never heard of such a thing why
right
is
you know what the reason is
everybody knows it's called issue he's
called this yamini so the question is is
he from you or is he from the
um
criticized look what this Benjamin did
to me it's like
besides that show
didn't kill our God didn't mean a helmet
hamon came out
he wants to kill me
um look what this yehudi did to like
Kato David lashimi
that dovid you know
um let's uh Mordechai had a ancestor by
the name of shimmy who really was
supposed to be killed why wasn't he
killed they had rahmanas on him from
from shimmy K Mordechai the Jews didn't
like Mordechai Taman
even though kaiso were really liable to
be punishment
they did have great
they had a thousands
and they had great pain for nothing why
do these thousands have to suffer
because this Mordechai guy wants to be
from me and go into Hammond's face and
provoke him and then get him angry
if Mordechai caused this tremendous star
to call Israel yes
he needs to be punished a little bit
what do you mean but he's following the
dictated that for the sake of killer
shashem he needed to go into hamman's
face and stick his nose in it and say
I'm not going to bow down nevertheless
there is some din on Mordechai Muhammad
is
also
has
the ring from akashvirus that
accomplished more than the 48th Naveen
her yes
was the cause of this
is
seven times
and he took him out of the seven
chambers of gehenam
why because he mentioned this of the Sun
says in a Siva certainly if every year
everyone gives Mordecai
oh Christ
is resting on Mordechai is removed by
the Brach and whenever
movement history is removed from saying
this is the concept
of having the simcha that we don't even
realize
what was greater because on the one hand
yes Hashem saved us
but on the other hand what was greater
the fact that Hashem saved us or the
fact that and because of Haman we
reached the highest level of chuva we
ever reached in our history that were
macabola Tire what's greater Mordechai
that ultimately God saved us or our
Haman the fact that we have to curse
hamon because of tremendous tuba
movement he could be caused
we should be on the madrega
that we can't even understand the
difference between the two in other
words we should be able to comprehend
that the fact that Carlisa reached such
an exalted level of Kabbalah that was so
great it even surpassed the fact that
God saved Our Lives
but this is an amazing concept when you
think about the fact that even Haman who
tried to annihilate our people the fact
that something good came about as a
result of his actions
he has a reward for that and we have to
you know we have to destroy that and the
fact that Mordecai has a certain
punishment what's upon because he made
us suffer
there's a certain Irish on him it's a
tremendous concept of how far-reaching
the repercussions of a person's actions
are you never know a person no comes
early to the Avenue and then another
person sees oh they they come early to
diving they also start coming to early
to the Avenue and you know they may
start coming early
thousands of times and then other people
learn from them and their children learn
from them their grandchildren their
great-grandchildren and you never know
because of one tiny small mixer that you
did you could be affecting literally
millions of people
and sometimes you know you say something
improper to someone and it makes them uh
insulted it makes them sad and as a
result of that
they may do another Ave and other people
learn from that all of this is taken
into account and that's the the limit of
Baruch
that no matter how terrible a person is
if something good comes a result of
their unintended actions they get
scarred for that and if no matter how
great someone is if something bad comes
bad unintended we have to deal with that
