Purim: Mordechai vs. Haman - How to Lay Claim to the 10 Greatest Blessings in the World

progress okay good evening everyone we have an epic share tonight this share will revolutionize the way you understand the story of the Milla and PM and history in general we're continuing this is actually the last she on which were generously sponsored by Dr zakas Dr Zak's mother are sponsored nishas AA basana EST tonight's sh is sponsored by my dear Anonymous friend in honor of the 13th Adar sheni birthday now we cannot reveal his identity however considering the fact that in past weeks we only mentioned one person who had a birthday in adeni you should be able to figure out that if somebody is about 35 years old and every 19 years there's seven iars well I can't give away more information than that okay we have some public service announcements pum is coming so make sure you have all three options to prepare for p of course the saes P little trivia question this was the first safer that came out some years ago so make sure you have the saer and you have the big size English saer and you have the shus Edition English saer we are now finishing um a saer is going to publication very soon for art scoll on when I say finishing it means it needs to be finished very very soon even though it's nowhere near being finished yet but if anybody would like to be M it would be uh very appreciated okay PM we know there are a number of obligations on PM you have to read the M you have to you need to give you have to give however there is another obligation that is not so well known that if you don't do this you do not fulfill your responsibility on pum you ready for this there's one of the most beloved in is however you want to sing you could sing the classic one or you could sing M you know how M goes I would highly advise that before the comes you get that one down there are many different Tunes you could learn however the is the words and at the end of we say he wanted to destroy me blessed is m not only is H cursed but Zar is also cursed the wife of the one who frightened me blessed is Esther and then we throw aone of course now why do we do this this is not just something we do this is something we need to do the says you need to say curs this cursed are his sons by the way it's not only thei but even earlier we have a that we need to give for the Redemption and the and we say and then we say Hashem saved us from the we praise theim we say says you have to say and by the way this is codified in tough he Andes you're obligated to say this this is something you need to say it's not enough it's not just that this is a custom this is obligatory comes the Bal the rakov lam the wrote a commentary on and his hak he is bothered why do we have this obligation that we have to curse the wicked and bless the righteous do we say onus no what is this all about on do we say why when it comes to purm do we need to boo the bad guys and share the good guys should we get like a hand you know in the games with a long finger go Mor go Mor what exactly is this rooting why do we all of a sudden when it comes to Pur we have to root we root on the good guys and we Boo the bad guys this is a practice that we don't have by any other y That's question number one question number two you know theama talks about the Jewish custom of wearing masks on Pam why do we wear a mask presumably because perm was a time of h p however we know that Jews do not suffice merely with masks but the minog seems to be you have people who ordinarily act in a very civilized and dignified Manner and it comes p and they dress up like criminals like uh villains you have people dressing up as superheroes you have people dressing up as presidents of the United States whether it's the current president of the United States you know maybe they okay we we'll keep it at that or they could dress up as president Trump or even presidents before who what is this custom of dressing up umum why do we wear costumes on PM we in the Milla we in the PM narrative is there any indic that you should wear a costume was did Mor wear a costume did Mor dress up like Paro in the story there was H dressed up like uh kki in the story why do we wear costumes on puram and people get very elaborate costumes you could have a guy he's uh 5 fo2 he comes into your house he's wearing this head it's like the head itself is 2 feet tall you know he's sweating buckets in there there this was the most important of why do we wear costumes on so the brings from the that says was speaking to his and he asked his uh how's everything doing so tum said we have a question for you our question is why did the Jews in the times of shushan deserve to be destroyed so says no you tell me so they said well we think it's because went to the party of so says that can't be because then only the Jews and should have been punished so they said to to the rash rash you tell us the Raj said because they bow down to theum in the time of the so they asked him if that's the case rebi then they sered why did God save them to which the Raj said they only acted outwardly but inwardly their heart was the Shay they were still loyal to hasem so too the G was only outwardly but Hashem never meant it so says to indicate that the whole of P was only outward was not really intended we dress up as in costumes to indicate the whole PM is only an outward expression and I know you're you know you're making faces you're you're not fully satisfied with that so I would like to try to provide you with with an answer that perhaps uh will really satisfy your curiosity what's the reason why we wear costumes on PM furthermore we know that one of the central themes of PM is the idea of right there are very few songs on P you know people go to the rabbi's house and they start and then like after like a few minutes it you know they don't know what to do anymore why there not that many PM songs you know what do you how many could you do like how many Tunes could you have how many you know Melodies could you put to the main song on PM of course is what is this Central thema of P things were turned around why is this so critical to PM why is this the axle upon which all of the events of The Narrative of PM turn okay friends it's time to pull away the Veil and get to the core of the story this there's a revelation of the tarum now we like to say always tum was not written by y now we're going to take it conversely tum on where just say tum was written by okay that's very important Y when you learn na'vi and it says on the side that is the T says the on the it was disgraceful in his eyes to send forth his hand just against M because it was told to the nation of says the it was a joke to him just to send forth his hand against M alone because it was shown to him that M was a descendant of yov who took from his great-grandfather the birthright and the blessing and therefore hamon was angry why because Mor's ancest took his ancestors Birthright and blessing so hon was not what we call just your regular Garden variety anti-semite he wasn't just another guy on the street who doesn't know what a Jew is so he just gets Carried Away by the media hon was a historic anti-semite hamon was not coming with a personal gripe he was taking up the cause of his illustrious notorious great-grandfather hamon what was his beef beef with marai that yaku took the birthright and the blessing so this this is an age-old battle by the way and look look at number who's Dan just making sure you know that okay so Daniel got into the story what's Esther saying to she's commanding him to M again says the tarum Esther tells M don't sight and provoke hamon because hamon is coming with a a gripe and a grudge because Yakov had a fight with asov so again the tarum is learning consistently throughout the story that this this was not a personal animosity that hon had to morai but hamon was Reawakening an old quarrel that asov had with yobu with this we can uncover an amazing comment of RAB AB bagra you know know is a per that describes the story of P it begins asks why iser compared to the Morning Star so the gamar says just like the Morning Star is the end of the night Esther is the last miracle there are many that refer to the PM story know that when Esther was about to go into thees left her and she said God God why have you forsaken me there many the has learned that of that there's a in we're surrounded by many bulls says The Who are the these many bulls who they Mighty they're Mighty because of the blessing that gave that gave what blessing did give meaning why was H Mighty in the times of Pim because of the blessing that gave him say what the blessing that y gave him didn't give as yob put on his best asov costume and he came in and he stole the blessings and then when when asov came in he says I don't understand dad here's the meal do you bless me so y says what bless you so who was the first guy and then realized he gave the the wrong person the and what was as's reaction he gave a very bitter cry and he plead with his father do you have one blessing for me and the question is can give him a he says I can't give you a I can't even give you one because I can't eat anymore more what are you going to feed me I already ate from Co from y or I already ate everything I could eat so the sh is what did mean I already ate everything we know there's a cloud God in there's always room for dessert so what did mean I ate everything so we know that night was what P so he fed him the in fact said is okay so I can't eat anymore but then he turns to as and he says you know what I'll give you one you'll have the fat of the land what does Rashi say on that word on those words I'm going to give Ace of what Italy I'm going to give as Italy Italy so question is I don't understand if he just said he gave Yakov the whole world and there's nothing left to give him because he's not all to eat so then how could he give Asa Italy so there's a well-known explanation of the re of hesel he already gave Yakov the whole world so he has to figure out and come up with something to give asov that didn't exist yet there's only one spot in the world that didn't exist yet Italy didn't exist cuz says in chabas that when schom married Bas par Gabriel came stuck a peg a re in the in the sea and uh a um seaweed began to amass around it so Italy was something that didn't exist back in the times of so the only land that y could give asov is Italy fine but then he says something very interesting because the question is if he already gave yakob everything in the world then what's he giving asov he says to you're going to live by your sword means you're not going to observe Judaism you're going to observe Christianity say where do you see Christianity in this P very simple could mean you're going to serve your brother it could also mean you're going to worship your brother you will worship a Jew Christianity yeah you got that yeah you will worship this is the prophecy of Christianity and will be when you have caused to be AG grieved you will throw off his yoke from upon your neck the meaning of these is as follows gave yob everything in the world he gave us and he gave us and what did he give asov absolutely nothing asov is bankrupt empty he doesn't have not this world he doesn't have the world to come so what's y telling ASA he's giving him an opt out clause you know you have these overpriced overpaid steroid injected athletes what do they do for the first six years of their contract they don't do anything then when it comes to their final year or two years before they inject themselves with race horses race horsing uh steroids so that normally a baseball is this size their eyesight becomes so good they see the baseball like a beach ball and then all of a sudden they hit 60 home runs the year before they hit 15 home runs all of a sudden they eyesight right why CU they want to cash in on the big contract and then when the team says okay we want to resign you no no no I'm opting out I'm opting out now I'm going going to hit the market I'm going to go to free agency now I don't know anything about this somebody told me about it okay but there is such a phenomenon an opt out clause an an opt out Clauses asov has an opt out clause the op out clause is God gave but he tells as if you ever have cause to be grieved and to say you know what yob doesn't deserve the blessings because they don't observe the T then you could flip the tables and the bless blings will go to you the when you have caused to be grieved you cast off his Yol from upon your neck yeah do you understand the simple import of these tells the blessings go to Y but when you have caused to be grieved you could turn the tables friends this is seems to be what ham was trying to do in the times of pm he was exercising in the op Clause of so friends let's come to some of the best in the M the most joyous not only in the but in goes out before the king okay this very joyous P the city of shushan is jubilant and happy okay these are some of the most joyous in the M comes the V and the V make says very cryptic comments over here says in these it was you will be dominant over your brother at first he's only isi then he is graduates to then he's and then the gr says something that you could literally spend the rest of your life trying to figure out the Isel the Jews got 10 things now if you were in a cave and you saw this gr that the Jews got 10 things you would have to hire a team of detectives to try to figure out what is exactly is the gr talking about that the Jews got 10 things comes he wrote on the and he says in his opinion it is clear from theuk what these 10 Things Are number one number two number three number four number five number six 10 things but still we don't understand what does that mean they got 10 things what 10 things what's the significance of 10 things say if you came to the shear tonight your great grandmother must have prayed when she lit the candles that your Nish should be able to hear such Tyra not everybody could come one guy he couldn't come I don't know what happened he got stuck at a red light you have to have a to hear this if you go back to the beginning of Bas when adish let's try to picture for a moment what was the state ofish adish was in GH and Mal were barbecuing for him they were pouring wine for him he was reclining the says he was reclining he was in a hammock and say hammock but what's he going to eat he had Angels Al grilling whatever he wanted all kinds of Bas and pouring wine for him and he didn't have to go to work and he had he was being n from the if you had to encapsulate in one word the state ofar in the Garden of Eden what would you say he was blessed but then he ate from the forbidden fruit and Hashem says to [Music] him the land is cursed you're going to eat it in thorns and thistles you can eat grass you're going to work for a living till you go back to the dirt that's where you come from even when you're alive you're dust you're going to have to come back to this world again as a Gil what did God give says the how many curses number one the land is cursed you're going to eat it in sorrow thorns and thistles you're going to eat the grass is five six seven th you are th now so after ate from theas he was in a mat he was in a status of being cursed and for how long was Mankind in a state of being cursed for more than 2,000 years until a man by the name of Yakov ainu listened to his mother and his mother said put on a costume dress up like asov you're going to go in and you're going to get the blessings and you're going to reverse the curse of Adar says the going look at number 20 how many br did look at number 20 one from the from the fat of the land is is one two abundant wine is four the Nations will serve you the regimes will bow to you you will be dominant over your brother the sons of your mother will bow to you those who curse you will be cursed and at that point in time reverse the curse ofish 10 against 10 Adam was giving 10 and by getting the BR Yak reversed the curse of in fact the the gr says that the blessings of Yakov were man and counteracted the curses of Adam Adam said you're going to have Adam was told he's going to eat it but eat sing and sadness God said no from the do do brings happiness Adam was told the Earth is cursed yakob was told Mish from the fat of the earth Adam was told thorns and thistles yob says was told abundant grain and wine Adam was told you're going to work for a living yob is told you're going to have IM serve you doesn't say legal illegal but you're going to have foreigners serve you so we see that whenu was given the BR on that faithful night by the way what night of the year was it pesak pesak and he stole the blessings he stole the a say on that night y recurse um reverse the curse of AD marish and for how long did the Jewish people remain in a state of being blessed for quite a while until a man who is a descendant of asov reared his ugly head and said I want to exercise the opt out claws I want to reverse and bring the world back to who after the who else in history reversed bra TOA who else in history took the man from a state of and brought him to curse the the that's what the did the gotar eat from the and because of that said now for the first time in our lives we understand where is there what's the comparison between H and the it's obvious it's POS it according to the gra but you need this whole Binion of the G to understand it clearly it's Crystal Clear Adam was in a state of being the came along and he enticed him to eat from the he then hurled the world back into CLA so too ham wanted to emulate the and exercise the op out clause of he wanted to reverse the 10 curses of and when listen carefully when H could exercise the op Clause what was the given to when you get the when you exercise the apad Clause you will live by your sword with this we could understand a in we have and with the sword you will be Majestic says the GR in the times of Haram where we were going to be killed by the sword question is what does the gr mean then the time of ham we were going to be killed by the sword we weren't going to be killed by the sword they were going to kill us why the emphasis on the sword what does the sword have to do with it the answer is what the gr means figuratively is that in the times of ham hamon was coming with old baggage with an old gripe he was trying to take up the cause of asov and when he exercises the opt out cause Clause of he's able to come with the and literally figuratively counteract and come against clao with the sword now what allowed asov to be given this opt out clause of arguing yet that he has caused to be aggrieved we're not keeping the toyra you know at first y was going to give asov nothing why why did y give asov something it's because cried out and therefore Mor in the times of PM understands that this whole s came from the fact that as cried out that awarded him the ability to exercise the AP Clause so M to counteract that right that H had he's also friends you know I was in London recently and I came up with one of the best Kim I ever thought of I'm going to share with you right now as you know anyone who's ever been coming to the Shar always knows that before a big K what do we say fasten your seat belts right you've heard that before and you always wanted to know for the last 10 years what's the Makar of fasten your seat belts and even I didn't know what the marar is until I went to London and I discovered that uh from RAB you know before we start ding the what do we say what is the saying he basically say hey wake up wake up you ready you're ready set you're going to you're going to bless Hashem or you just going to sit there like your half asleep I'm telling you you need to be and what do we say we're going to do it what's that all about just DAV in what's this like pep talk so from here we see the says that when it comes to kadus you can't just jump in you need to prepare yourself so the wakes everybody up and he says you ready you're with me and we said we're with you we're right behind you and then we say and we do this a lot let's say by benching can't just bench one the one guy gets him and says you ready we're gonna do this or you just going to sit there you're just G to eat your meal and walk away You're GNA bench with me and we say yeah um we're in we're in count us in right when else do we do this by KES can't just make KES we say means listen pay attention think you ready or you just going to sit there and and you know space out let's go you know pay attention so therefore before we learn and you hear a goodes you can't just hear goodes you got to prepare yourselves so even if they're not actually seat belts on your chair but you need to be you have to prepare you have to brace yourself okay so that's just something for the inion of fast in your seat bels but but M fast in your seat belts now friends I want to know one of the most dramatic suim in the m is Esther summons up the courage to go to to save the Jewish people and says what do you want Esther and Esther says my request and my beseeching so we expect oh she must she's going to break down and really ask for it what does she say yeah my come back tomorrow for the party Come on talk about you know like anticlimactic trp over here that should be when she says save our lives but that's not what she asks you know what she says H actually I'm not sure what I want yet I'll let you know tomorrow I mean with all the buildup that's that's not good drama that's not right you know the kazin builds everyone up they expect something big about to happen and it's like false flat come back tomorrow no that is a key ingredient in the salvation of as we're about to see says you ready for this now on the flight it's not enough to put on one belt of on your waist you have to put around your chest also okay so this is a double fast in your seat belt when did the party of start because in the beginning of the third year of his Reign the kings of the nations of the world start their reign in Tish how long does the party go for 180 days that's 6 months minus 3 days cuz 30 29 30 29 30 29 and then y y is two days Rim is three days that's five days that takes you to um that takes you to into the month of son then what happens he made a party for 7 Days excuse me sorry sorry 180 days 180 days takes you to giml Nissan cuz since 3029 3029 3029 so it doesn't take you to it takes you into Nissan Yim is another five days yamim is Two Rim is three that takes you to Nissan and Z then he made a party in shushan for seven days it takes you to P now doesn't know what to do with vashi because vashi is not listening he keeps on telling her vashi Windows vashi floors she doesn't want to so who does he speak to I'm going to give you four choices if you have a problem with a spouse here are four choices you could go to psychologist you could go to a therapist you could go to a marriage counselor or you could go on uh on the 878 you could go to they have a sorcerer right next to the down it closed down but let's make believe it's open okay you could go to a sorcerer and they read the cards what are those cards called tarot cards who what T tarot cards so you have a problem with your wife do you go to a professional or do you go to an astrologer why in the world is a going to an astrologer a needs to know what day it is what month it is if it's an iar it's back in Adar if it's not an iar it's p and hamon is in on this why is hamon in on this because ham knows if he's ever going to get the blessings back he needs to get the Jews to sin and he needs to get them to sin on pesak because pesak is the time that the blessings are up for grabs because since that is the night that gave them to but on that very night he made an opt out clause so H knows if somehow he could get the Jewish people to sin on pesak then that would be the best day of the year to exercise the op out clause so Ester has a great plan Esther knows that ham is exercising the AP Claus and H is trying to get the blessings black and put us in a state of aor and that's why H is like the so if we're going to get the blessings back Esther says come tomorrow come on P because if we lose it on P we were from the P we're going to get it back on P now we understand the amazing comments of the V come back to number 16 says the going that when the tables were turned and we hanged h on and is going out from before the king you know what we got 10 things 10 things what were they what are these 10 things what do you mean 10 things the answer is that when other marish was in ghen he was in a state of what the came along and he made us eat from the and then we got how many curses curses and that remained we remained in a state of CLA for over a thousand years until Yu came and he was given the 10 blessings the night of the and we remained in a state of being until H came along and he exercised the op out Claws and when did we get back the 10 blessings and make the through the through the that's the secret of the words of the and with 10 things this explains something incredible in the Milla you know hamon comes to Zar and now you have some of the most dramatic trp in the [Laughter] whole now what's Zar telling ham H if is that you have begun to fall before him you will not Prevail cuz you will definitely fall what's Sarah what in the world is she talking about that what you started to fall before ham so now you're going to fall all the way why does it have to be why can't it be you had a little bit of a bad day and tomorrow will be a better day you know what is this there it's either one way or the other if you have an ascendancy you go up all the way up and if you begin to fall then you're going to fall all the way to the bottom but the answer is Friends the battle between Mor and hon is not a new fight it is rooted in the ageold relationship between yak and and when rifco was pregnant she went to sh and what did sh say the famous words one nation will fill up and Prevail against Over The Other Nation like thear says in Mill if somebody says cesaria and Jerusalem are both built don't believe them if someone says they're both destroyed don't believe them if someone says cesaria is destroyed and Jerusalem is built believe them someone says Jerusalem is built and believe them where do we learn this from full from the destruction [Applause] or who remembers what rash says on the words you ready for this it's says when this one gets up this one Falls rash you know before Rashi wrote his commentary fasted 600 113 times don't let me finish the share because hasem gave me a big tonight right before the share I have to tell youash says that what is y called what are we dubbing y z what is called Z has a new name Z as has a new name Z that means Yakov and as are like a seaw they're equal sides of the spoon by the way in we're going to read it next shabas we read right before we have the scales of right scales cuz am and are two spoons of the scale there's which which Z is g to win here and what does as [Applause] say the co Yak is co the co who I don't he's not worth anything to me which Z is going to be on top in the story and which Z is going to be on the bottom you know what yob and are like says two sides of the spoon they're equal but one goes up and one goes down therefore Zar says fun of once you start falling mat by the way the says mat gatria once you start falling down you're going to go to the abyss there is no coming [Music] upim so who is ham patterning himself after who is he emulating the what the Nash did he extricated Adam from the state of being and he hurled on Adam 10 curses this is exactly what ham is doing how did we overcome the Nash the first time we stole the blessings we stole the blessings by the way friends now we understand the emphasis on it's either one turned one way or the other way there's nothing in between it's a seesaw the concept of an is just reinstating the age-old relationship between and of [Applause] the story of p is somebody is come and someone is Noel comes the IM of jaob the story of p is what rash says in no look at number 46 come now Mor is not come it's come when this one Rises this one is Noel right now is not come is not going up who's going up is going up but then what happens by the end of the story H is falling so what happens Esther's falling but if at the end of the next p Esther has come the story of PM is the age-old relationship between the story of Isel what's the gatria ofel three 36 the gatria of PM PM is gatria zel says the IM of jaob that's the story P him one's going up and one's going down and that is what Zar said where is the momentum going he's going up is come then you're and therefore says the word says is the same word as the source of the of that is the word that used friends you ready for the this is this year's so was the came and he made him eat and now he has 10 curses when did we get out of those 10 curses twice in our history the first time when yov got the did you notice what Rashi said there when walked in smelled the scent of ganen why did he smell the scent of ganen cuz now for the first time that Original Scent of Ganan that existed over a thousand years ago that the world had not smelled for over a thousand years was reinstated for the very first time I never realize that until right before the sh and that is why writes the scent associated with p is the the sense is the smell the nose cuz that's the only sense that was not affected by the sin of Adar in the times of Pim where we were were rest stored to the original M so now again it's PM is the time of the scent of smell m is Conn because again we're able to reinstate that original smell of Ghan this General approach without the outside details in terms of the gr the gr I saw in the saer you may per he takes us like almost to the finish line but he leaves the finish line for us to to uh hammer home so here it goes you could have a sud do we have 10 people who didn't DAV do we have six people we just need two more okay um they can't probably there many there are many things we have to do on we have to eat a sud we have to read the M we need to give but besides all of that it's very important to establish and articulate that when this day comes we need to know exactly who will be relegated to the ash heap of oror and who has been extricated from that State and who's going to be bar so with all of our responsibilities on PM we have to make sure not to forget to say on this great day for over a thousand years after the sin of theas mankind was oror we had 10 curses on us and Yu got the blessings and he was extricated from or and he became a and who became aror ASA became Anor and the times of for him H wanted to reverse that H wanted to H H wanted to cast CL back into the state of aror so on the great day of PM we need to establish and pasin and label right now now that we have this great salvation you know who's aror AR you know why do this on this yam more than any other yam the entire theme of the yam is to establish for all eternity that that great hoist that yaku pulled that great uh robbery that highway robbery that yaku pulled off to extricate himself from the state of being or to be well we reestablish that on pm and therefore we make sure to say this is the essence of is to establish who is the and who is the is that to the so R David is saying David wants after all of everything we said now we have been to the deeper meaning of why we wear costumes on Pam because the first time around how did we extra ourselves from being cursed y put on his as of costume the hay costume he here Yak normally he wore a big strl and he had white socks right and yinu he looked like a very big sadic and that day he had to put on the asce of costume he had to wear the as of costume how to do what to extricate himself from the state of being cursed in order to be blessed so we walk in the footsteps of Yu every and in order to establish for all times arur zikim we likewise follow in the ways of yov ainu and we put on costumes we could dress like Kim J you could dress like what's the guy in Iran Ki or or in other countries or in other nationalities and in order to you know sometimes to get the you have to put on the big day ASA and this is a very compelling uh explanation and approach to understand why we wear costumes on pesak but it's all rooted in this on pm on poroso Oso and uh this is a very uh profound understanding of what happens on PM the essence of PM the theme of PM is 336 so we should all be to wishing everyone SK SK SK s yeah I just came back yeah
