Purim: Rebbe Meir and the Soul of Megillas Esther

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay Brook welcome everyone to the K here in kugar Hills um we're 3 weeks before PM so it's never too early to uh prep for so learning should be okay so the says in the Mig at the end of the Mig therefore these days are called so the name of the is called PM literally means lots a lottery which would be a rather unusual name for the Y as points out normally typically you would name a yam about the Yeshua about the salvation that happened that hasem saved from the Sor why name it after the lottery the lottery is not a um a good name for clra the lottery does not have kind implications for CLA the lottery refers to the day of the the month and the day of the month that that H selected to annihilate why give the name of referring to the day of Destruction why give a name referring to the disaster and the catastrophe normally PES isem jumped over the houses normal in other words a name should signify the salvation and the Yeshua and not the And yet when it comes to points out in the name the name selected is um the name selected is the name of the Sarah so why is that so I came across something very interesting and somewhat of an anomaly and it was very difficult to find anybody who points this out we know that we lay the entire that's and yet if you look in the the it is certainly not unanimous as to how much of the m one is required to read so the even points out where do you begin says you have to says you have to begin from where is introduced for the first time says no from where Rises to power so in the M you have three opinions of a fourth opinion is mentioned so there's a fourth opinion that you have to begin from where the miracle begins and the says says it's one they all derive their opinion from the same the says she wrote all the power so now the one sh is the power of whom who says you have to lay the he says you have to start from the power means the power of you start from the beginning of the M the says you have to Le about the of that you have to the you got it and we're good you have to lean about the of the nest and that's why you lean from so we have four we have says says says and says if you were to ask me who do we pasin like I could tell you one thing for sure I know who we don't Pas and like I would say we do not Pas and likeor cuz there's a clas that we don't Pas and likeor do we ever pasing like r no never ever there are no exceptions to this rule we don't pasing like raer but we don't pass like this we don't pass like and yet the concludes the is like the opinion that you have to L the whole M and it's brought down in that you have to L the whole Milla I remember um I started in the in the job in the five towns last year like right before porm so like one of the first shallots I got was a woman came into the Milla and she missed the first word v and like what am I supposed to tell you know they're going to hear the rabbi said you miss so I said call Rab fightman you know I don't want to I don't want to tell you what to do over there but the is you have to hear the whole M you know if you miss one word you're out so that's how we pasin so we pasin like raor why would we Pas like raor we never inas Pas like May says thear Aran and said is like so here in we don't pass it goes without saying if you have is like right if it's HUD if it's if it's RI and RAB Huda the is like R so certainly it's called The Chain rule when I was a kid they had uh they had real math now the government changes something called Common Core that none of the parents understand but in the in the olden days you know they had real math there's something called The Chain rule right if e if a is greater than B and B is greater then you know a is greater than C it's a chain roll so R mayor and RAB Huda you pass like RAB Huda and RAB Huda and rabi you passing like rabi certainly R and you passing like if is nothing in other words may is not valued all the more so we're not going to maintain the opinion of R okay so that's a CL in Shas that we do not pass like R over RAB Huda and certainly not over R and yet in this here ra says you have to L the rabih Huda says only from isi we don't pasing like rabih Huda we pasing like R mayor isn't that strange so let's understand for a moment why don't we pass what don't pass like either right why do we not passing like what's the reason so there's a another it's revealed and known before the that there was nobody like in his in other words was the greatest in his generation so it's a Pella then so why don't we P him like him if there's no one like him so why don't we establish like him because his friends the other cannot plummet the depth of his knowledge why demonstrates how deep was could argue about something which is T that's could take aaz and he could give you an argument that's irrefutable that you're allowed to eat it now what's the Godless of doing that it's a separate topic and he could give you arguments on something which is that says the Gar so in other words nobody really understood was so deep ra plummeted to such amus that people just did simply could not comprehend the system of logic says his name was not r his name was he illuminated the eyes of now what in the world does that mean he illuminated the eyes of nobody understand a word he was saying how could he have illuminated their eyes but that's the that we don't And yet when it comes to of how much have the lane where says the whole thing we don't passing like him rabud says we don't passing like him excuse me we passing like ra we not passing like R Huda and R what's theat over here so I looked in I looked why does anybody ask this question why do we not Pas likea why do we passing like we never passing like R so I couldn't find anyone who it and finally I found one saer the name of theer isim soim was written by he's the author of there's a shab is a wellknown but I don't think m is a well-known saer he asked this question how could we likeor so look how he asked it it's a it's hard to read obviously it has not been reprinted in a long time he says how could so how could ra says RAV does not hold of the gamar Aran that we don't Pas like ra RAV argues on that RAV holds we could Pas like but but we do hold like the gar Arin that we don't like and therefore he asks how could the you have to L the whole Milla that's in contradistinction to thear Aran that we' never P like that's the Kasha what is the that we passing like over here we never passing like okay look at number seven the king says to says let me buy the right to kill the Jews says you keep the money and kill them anyway keep the cashs the the word KF 165 is the same G as the word he is five in 70 is 90 165 when tells H keep the cash the word he was hinting to him that would be hung on the tree that's what T says so the he wrote AER on called I just had the to speak to him yesterday so he asks okay everybody knows ham was hung on the tree but why is it alluded to in the word why when tells hon keep the cash is there an illusion that Hon's going to be hung on the tree what's the connection between the cash that is allowing H to keep and the fact that H was hanged on the tree no actually it's hanged hanged yes hanged right you a picture is hung a human is hanged but we like to speak about that every every year that's a different sub okay anyway so the sh is why is the illusion over here in the word h okay everybody knows that the there many you have you have you have and you have but of all the which is theah so the ra says the the greatest the most important the way that a person comes closest to hasem is to uplift the spirits of the down that is the greatest mitz of in fact says we're not we're not even uh careful and who we give to whoever sticks out their hand we gift him it's so again the question is what is the connection between and you can read the story It's a Wonderful story we were going to be annihilated and hasem saved our life like where does come in it's always good to givea you know give a littlea I'm all for it but when the world does have to do with P there's nothing about in nowhere in the story line is there yes saysin like where does Saka come in how did Saka become the primary feature of the it's not connected to the story it's a wonderful thing to do but how did it sort of take over the day of PM where everybody knows what's theat in that okay let's go back to the because whenever something happens even in the later we always know it's always rooted in the so was about to encounter asav so we find that Yakov was very afraid he was very scared he was very frightened and the P even says was very afraid and he was distressed so rashi's bothered what's this double he was afraid and he was distressed says Rashi that yob was afraid that lest he be killed he was afraid might kill him he was distressed if he will kill others simply put he was afraid he would have to kill as he didn't want to be half be put in a situation where he'd have to kill his brother so all the ma ask the gor the M he was afraid that he should come to kill as as's coming to kill him he's obligated to kill asov he'll knock off his you know his whole the last 22 years he's running away from asov ASV is in the way asov is disturbing his whole life his whole life is being dictated by this by this Manu so he has to kill him he has a head to what's the problem so it's brought down in many many many across the entire gamut an incredible thear says that when the Romans came to destroy the B mikdash the general that they sent was named Nero Kazar and Nero niron kesar came and he was very into school ice you know everyone's into school ice even the Romans so he decided he shot an arrow it went the direction of he shot an arrow to the West flew to to the east the north so he figures is going to give him he meets a kid he tells the kid Hey kid tell me your your P you know that they took that as an omen if a kid would say a p they would take that as a sign of what's relevant to what they're about to do so the kids said a in other words God is gonna take revenge from edim so neon kesar says what what does God want from me he wants me to destroy the B of M then he's going to he's going to destroy me then he's going to wipe his hands clean from me no no no no no God I'm not doing your dirty work and then you're going to you know punish me says the gamar niron kar ran away the O he went the and he converted and R came out of neon kesar that's the first piece of information that R came from ASA he came from G Satan second thing say was the Ra was the and Ra was and in those days the when came into the room everybody stood to full height and when rer came into the room everyone stood to full height and R came into the room everyone stood to full height and rim the said I don't like that you're not differentiating between the rabbi and the assistant Rabbi there's only one Rabbi and then the rest of them they're the assistants so on the day that these that ra and and were not and were not there that when the rabbi comes in everyone stands up when the N comes in and when the other two guys come in you do the shuffle that that's where it comes from that's where people get confused they do the shuffle yeah the shuffle is for everyone except for the Nasi the problem was R mayor and ra W in there the day they made that conveniently worked it out that they wouldn't be there when he made that so the next day ra walks in and everyone gives them a little token gesture and they didn't like that it's not so they basically said let's get back at him he's not the biggest anyway he think he knows he doesn't know tomorrow when he gets up to say she they'll say forget your sheets tell us she and he's not going to know and then we'll say me only someone who knows if you don't know you can't says the gar there was a man by the name of ryak Ben Ki and ryak Ben Ki overheard the whole exchange between R and and raer that they're plotting on getting rid of so he starts saying in a loud tone the entire on the top of his lungs and over hears and he says this guy is saying I better pay attention and that night learned next day he comes into the base and say what's what's she today she today no no no we want to know about and he starts saying over like nobody's business and after the she he says by the way had I not learned it last night I would been very embarrassed mayor you're out of here and he kicked them out of the Bas matters the problem was he they were much bigger than he was so all the shilas they had on the inside they threw out messages through the window to and standing in the alleyway so the said I don't understand what are we doing on the inside the t is on the outside so said bring them in but he renamed them that from now on we never say over when you want to say over many many many that when Rashi says that Yu was afraid he wasn't afraid if he would kill as he had to kill as it's a Mitzvah to kill as that's not what he's worried about he's worried about who's going to come out of asov he's worried about rer he's afraid of he's going to kill asov he's going to knock off raer and we need ra that's what yob was scared of he was afraid he was afraid he would kill ra very interesting so Yu is encountering as and what's y thinking about he's thinking about the T he doesn't want to knock off okay listen to the following gave me comes Ander says let's think about the PM story what's the greatest Miracle of p is the greatest Miracle says that did CH and was CH that's a CH and of course's going to be is the miracle that was buddy buddy with h and then he flipped he's a flipflop says all politicians are flipflops it's not a it's not a that changed his mind says you know what the biggest of the is listen carefully think about at what time did the begin to orchestrate events to try to put things in place so that if does things will be in place to save them when when did hasem begin to orchestrate when aashi was killed what were CL doing when were killed they were middle of being the and the asks what did do to deserve to be the destroyed in that generation what could we have done what terrible thing did we do that we deserve we were n from the sud says at the time that CL was from the sud and we deserve CL at that moment when we were doing this was the biggest Rish that was ever committed because never in our history was and at the time we incurred the G you know what kind of miracle that is that's such a Ness that even when at that moment the love of the is so strong that he's already preparing the way so that if we do chuva hashem's going to save us that's the biggest Miracle of the biggest Miracle is even when we're it doesn't matter how terrible we are doesn't matter what Rous we do at the moment that we're sinning is already Paving the way but if you look at the look at the last line in number 21 says like this he says last four lines he [Applause] says they were not fit for the miracle they should have been the destroyed and at the moment that we were rebelling that even when we're destructive and we're corrupt we are the children of hem R said listen carefully does everybody agree to that does everybody agree that no matter what we do we're always famous everybody knows that it's not unanimous the says say is when are you a child you see uh you know sometimes your kid is misbehaving and people say that's your kid you say no it's not mine you know but you know you can't uh your kid is your kid there nothing you could do about it when it comes to a child you know you don't choose says that's not the way the relationship with Works we're not always considered hashem's children when we act like his children we are his children when we don't act like his children we're not his children it's not natural relationship there's you have to deserve it says whether you act like it whether you don't act it you're called You're foolish children children who you don't believe in me another your corrupt children another that instead of you being called that you're not my people you are the children of so ask why does need so many why do we need so many says the because maybe I would say we're only hashem's children if we act foolish but maybe if we don't believe in hasem we're not called hashem's children says no even if you don't believe in Hashem you're called his children so says but maybe that's only if we don't believe in him what if we serve desar we still called his children yes even when we're corrupt we're still his children well say may maybe we're called his children maybe we're called bad children no we says when we act like when we don't act like Bim we are not buim and mayor says what who do we pasin like well there's a CLA that we never P likeor we always pin like there's only only one exception in there's only one exception in that we like over they're two thank you there only there there's one exception that we like the says in two places we have RI from like this is the only exception in that we pass like meaning we pass what say what's the greatest Miracle of not the Yeshua of course if we're going to D and's going to listen of course if we do ch's going to be Mel the miracle of PM is that during the sud when we're when we incur the the at that moment is Paving the way to save us to demonstrate what that even when we're we're still why do you think says you have to lay in theor who holds that mayor says you better read the main part of the Milla that the fact that that we already did cha big deal that chor says the Miracle of the m is what that even when we're being from theem is still Paving the way mayor who says he says you have to read the why because says no it's not even true RAB Huda says when we act like children we're children when we don't act like children we're Nota says don't read that part that's not that doesn't even make sense RAB would say it must be that uh Hashem what that that has nothing to do with the P story rejects the notion that so I want to say like this we asked the asked how could it be that we pass like that you have to L the but we never like so they say what never passing likeor there is one exception that we do passing likeor when do we passing likeor excuse me oh so I say you're right there's only one exception but that exception has another ramification the fact that we that means that it goes hand in hand obvious ramification repercussion of as says the whole purpose of the beginning of the story of the Milla is to demonstrate that even when we're so it's the same one one that's one says you have to act like it to deserve it so therefore only lay the part of the M where CL actually turns around don't read that part that isim on them even though they don't deserve it that has nothing to do with the PM story never would beim on them if they don't deserve it we're not B him if we don't deserve says don't read it it's not true it's unrelated holds that's the whole that's the god of the mirle to demonstrate wow it's a it's an amazing thing so there are two exceptions to the rule and whether you have to L Thea but we're saying their M it comes out when did the start setting the stage to save what day of the week was it andash says on the seventh day it was why was it chab by the way why shabas everybody knows that why is the scepter of the king and if someone uses the scepter of the king they're so how we allow to keep shabas I thought so writes and ques it that even though no one's allowed to use the scepter of the king what happens if the king's little son comes along and picks up the Sor what's going to happen to him nothing shab indicates we're bu the only reason we're able to keep shabas is because we're hashem's children had we not been hashem's children so why didem start to orchestrate events on chabas cu the rest of the week we don't deserve it we're just an to to we don't deserve it but on shab we're and according to yesu begins to unfold on Shas but the question is why is this the only exception to the rule I thought that we don't pass like so why is the exception here why in this situation do we like say amazing garar says in excuse me Basra the gar says that R was discussing the concept of Sedaka and RoR says you know is Sedaka really a good thing if Hashem loves the poor you know everybody says Hashem really loves the poor well if he loves them so much why doesn't he give them something to eat what does he want from my life if he loves them oh and then thear says taka that was a conversation tus Rufus had witha turn says if your God loves the why doesn't he support them so says he's trying to save us from gim through them says T ruus if you give an then you're going to go to G and he gave him the following Parable Imagine a King who gets angry at his Eed and he locks them up in jail and he says nobody visit this person and someone sneaks in and starts feeding and giving drink to this person what's going to happen Off With His Head you're violating the command of the king says tus Rufus you guys are so if you're going to feed an Oni obviously the r decreed that this on should not have money so it's going to be you're going to incur says Raba let me change the analogy ever so slightly Imagine a King who gets angry at his son and he locks him up and he says nobody visit him and guy sneaks in and gets the kids something to eat and something to drink what's the king going to do he's going to send him a gift so too says Raba we are the children of hem says toris Rufus what are you talking about we hold your only bun when you act like B now if this on doesn't have money obviously he's not so he's not a Ben you can't give him the food Raba says no the PK says we got to feed the Yi says who's R pasing like ra or RAB HUD so even though the is but there's a different cloud and since R obviously holds like because he says you're supposed to give whether the guy deserves it or not that's sah that he agrees to ra that what B and since RAB argues on RAB Huda we pass likeor because RAB is on his side plus theah of what does that signify what does that show what does that demonstrate it demonstrates the mitvah of demonstrates that even though we don't deserve it even though we don't warrant it we are always considered in Number 33s the reveals it demonstrates what the enunciated if there is any Mitzvah that demonstrates that we are hm's children it's only the Mitzvah of according to t ruus you can't givea according to tus Rufus if you givea it incurs hashem's wrath but we don't P that way we so says now we understand why the MIT is so integral to what's the main miracle for him that was big deal that caused to be a flipflop happens all the time the miracle of is that even when we were and we were that no matter how low we fall no matter how bad of we do at that time still considers us how do we demonstrate that the only way to demonstrate that is that we demonstrate by the way many what's the of what's got to do with s because it's only that allows you to give s that even though we don't deserve it even though we're not even even though still okay want say is about to encounter asov ready for this hold on to your seats listen to this yov is about to counter asov sounds like he's very scared right what's he so scared of Yavin is a strong guy you know when he came to the well there's this big Stone on the well that those 10 B bans couldn't move and Yin flicks it off like a bottle cap so let him punch as in the face and that's it what's he wor he beat the the right I guarantee you if you could beat the Ang you could beat the you know the guy what's he afraid of why is he scared if you look at the of the med look at number 35 saw from afar and he lifts up his eyes to heaven what's he so scared of he said such a powerful guy says if you look carefully at the of it says he saw he's not scared of this asov this asov if he could flick up that stone he'll just blow and asov will fly away he's worried about the asov from afar the asov in the future the descendants of asov namely hamon he's afraid of the gazer in fact says when that's who he's scared of and that's why in the of it says the of is what 182 that M needs to tap into the of so scared of H why is yob so scared of ham I'll explain to you why cuz right now he's not scared of as cuz right now what's the big deal even but looks into the future and he sees CL and he sees and he sees ly Amon bomb and he sees people veering away from Hashem he says o what's going to be that he looks into the future and he sees he sees and he knows the time will come and he realizes the only salvation for cl Isel is we need the all of a sudden yo is afraid what's yako is afraid he's going to kill ra he's not worried about Raba he's not worried about all the other time why is he so hooked up on RoR what is what does yov care about rer cuz yov knows that this encounter with h with with asov is the four beer the pre-enactment of the story of morai and and hamon everybody knows brings down that Mor was the gilo of yobu and H was the Gil of es by the way it's brought down Esther is the Gil of RA and Yu knows that this encounter it's not for now it's so yob is afraid o what's going to be with r if not for the perm story will never come about we have to demonstrate that's why was so afraid he might kill r by the way happened here on a on a disc by they wa said mayor just mentioned Russ Esther y ra all the players all the players rer encompasses the whole PM story The of rer is intertwined to the story when yob a is encountering asov the one thing that he's scared about is can knock off as now and take care of it but if I knock off then we don't have the therefore the one that demonstrates so H says like this you know because there's a famous says yeah fine we're always called B but maybe only in not in you know there's such an idea that the concept of Bim is so much challenged in brings down such an idea so says look we got him now they didn't have the only they have to overcome that is that and therefore their relationship to in is not of a to it's of an to a and for's not going to keep them because he's their and to a they have to deserve it but here's we're backfired because the bottom line is R saves the day because ra is everywhere but hon made a big blunder you ready for this when a gave the money to hamon what did hamon do with that says he learned the lesson of do you remember when asked from Daniel what to do with his money how to save his so was told by Danel give and gavea to Jewish and he saves his skin so it's brought down that hon took that money and he distributed it to tadaka but there's a big problem here you know why because who is Ham's P you think ham went like Raba his Z was tus tus pin when you give why because when it's a it's analgous to a m who makes Aon his e that the EV should not have food and you feed the EV so you say come on but we passing like yeah but that's when you give Saka to Jews when you give Saka to you can't do that because you give to Tak is right is correct the made a decree you can't viate decree so took that and he distributed to the money the that hon used to the is what obligated him to go to the word the word the money thats H alludes to Heights the tree you know why H was hung cuz he gave but he gave it to the wrong people so you have to make sure you have to give to the right people because it's a very fine line sometimes demonstrates but you have to make sure you have to give it to what what I say 11 11 number 11 I remember yeah oh so what we going to do with that we'll have fingers on yeah so get you don't I want to say over the this final idea M um what's the inan that the miracle of porm came about through AOL very odd the whole Miracle came about through a lottery through a raffle right they said there was um some they were heavily in debt yesterday and they won they won the lottery you know I hope people don't think that's a good from now on but listen to this also he quotes from the says like this we know on the holiest day of the year on you have two beh how are they selected they make a what's the in that all of a sudden it comes the holiest day of the year and you're doing things arbitrarily oh which one let's cast a lot that's an odd way to do something so says brings down that the concept of a lottery means there's no reason one person should win over the other normally when you choose something you could buy two Suits You pick the one you like better it's nicer it's more to your taste it's more to your style when you make a lottery it's complete arbitrary here we are we're onum Kipper and we need tremendous but if we don't deserve it how are we going to gain but everybody knows that that we are so to speak the loty of Hashem what does that mean we're the loty of Hashem that means the reason why the ran loves us you can't explain it he just does it's B it's not because we deserve it it's May says I was told my my son I don't know why said you know tell you know why I love you says why because I do he say you know Daddy that doesn't make any sense it doesn't it doesn't theam loves us because he does what could we do to be that that it doesn't that loves us no matter what it's not even logical so says when you do this ritual of the and you make a that's the fact that hem loves us that we're his goal he just loves us it's not because of it's not something we earned or deserved he just loves us so on the holiest day of the year on the day we need more than any other day the way to be is this which is with a it's the fact that loves us we're his lottery so too says knew that the day would come that we're and we're not going to deserve to be saved so what did he do to make sure we have Yeshua he arranged that the of should come onto us with what with a so that says you're dealing with with a oh that reminds me why I love CL is not because they deserve it not because they earned it just because they're my it's it's the fact that the because so you know why the is called the whole of the Y is the concept that hem loved us just because he does it's you can't explain it it's so deep it's so you can never be you'll never understand it it's just exist we're the of so I just want to end with a major tremendous tremendous Revelation says when you write a Milla you're not to L it you're not to write it B you have to copy it from a pre-existing Milla you can't write Milla B it must be copied from another Milla says the garim andar said there's a story about raor he went to in and he didn't have a and he wrote it any what's going on he wrote him ail about and he used it even says the is different why in it was fulfilled the concept your eyelids will look straight ahead meaning somehow RoR it's impossible to explain but what the is saying is that RoR knew the Milla so well it was like it was in front of his eyes so it's very hard to explain what this gumar means but in the context of what we're learning is that Ra's whole sha and personality and Essence is so intertwined with Milla sester that raer doesn't have to copy the Milla from a pre-existing Milla Reed mayor is Miller he is is he's the embodiment of he is the it's called the to indicate that loves us not like say says you have to make sure to L the especially the first part where even though even though we're doing is already Paving the way and that's indicated by the Mitzvah of and it's only who's allowed to l thank you for listening have a great day you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
