welcome welcome back so this week I have
an intoxicating topic for you this
week's topic
is we're drinking for clarity so in the
Miga it
says the king Esther over the party of
wine what is your request and this is
where Esther first invites H to another
party and then makes the request to get
rid of H
when it says it's also to
the says says that by the
per there's a special illumination that
you do not have the rest of the year
there's something very special going on
by the per that it's a time to D and
it's a time to
ask
saying what's the request is a time that
we could
ask for what we need
what's so special about the drinking by
the perm sud why do we drink at all so
one of the reasons brought down in why
we
drink is because since a good part of
the N of PM happened through wine so we
we drink wine as well that what happened
on PM vashi was killed when aish was
drunk and that created a space for
Esther hamala to come and become
Queen and the downfall humm's downfall
happened by this by this party over wine
by this suda over wine therefore we
drink as well the far bring
down that when we drink at the perm you
see the difference between a yid and a
guy when the guy drinks he's drinking as
an escape he's drinking to act wild he
goes crazy but when we drink what are we
doing we're filled with Mir we're
singing to we're doing we're learning
we're having a sud and the bring down
that this creates a tremendous blow
against a tremendous blow against
thear but there's another aspect as
well explains he said this over by his
perb who the once I believe is in
2017 he says that there's a
misconception people think that when
we're
drinking we're drinking to the point
where we don't know the difference
between curs is H and bless is Mor
people think that means that we're
drinking to the point of confusion but
he says that's not the case he says the
whole year we're confused the whole year
on mik has us confused when we're
drinking on PM we're drinking to get
clarity the whole year on mik bring
safik into our life if you think about
it it's interesting because the gamat
the numerical value of aik and the
numerical value of saf is the same 240
sayar y through the whole year there is
suff there's uncertainty that's brought
into our life from aik on Pur we're
drinking to break free from the
confusion on Pur we're drinking to get
clarity what does this mean sounds like
a cute ver the whole year we're confused
we're drinking to get
clarity but practically speaking what
does it mean what does it mean that I'm
P when we're
drinking we're drinking to get clarity
so I think you could explain this with
an idea that Pinkus brings down his in
hisus on
says regarding drinking he says
something very very
interesting he says that wasn't mean to
be
drinking that you come to the point
where you're
saying say Pinkus that H signifies the
darkness in our life H signifies the
trials and tribulations that we all go
through the whole idea of Pur is that
AES is hidden but orchestrating from the
background Esther is a l of of a of h p
of concealment the concealment of a it's
for this reason that it doesn't sayem's
name in theill at all because Hashem was
not at the Forefront Hashem was hidden
in the background throughout the whole
darkness of the perm story but Hashem
was there orchestrating all the events
to work out completely the L of Milla is
a Lan is an expression of migala to
reveal we're pulling back the curtain
we're revealing hashem's existence
through the darkness one small idea to
bring out this point of of how
everything that happened was really
orchestrated by a KES who's in the
background even though we didn't see him
at the Forefront in the second PK right
away in the beginning of the Milla the
PK says by y was during those
days when was sitting on his Royal
Throne was
inir what was A's Throne doing inir the
previous Kings their Capital had always
been in B why was A's capital in
shushan so the medish tells us that what
happened
was he liked SCH King schlomo's throne
with all the animals on each step and he
wanted to have the exact same Throne so
he hired a Craftsman to go and craft the
same Golden Throne for him
ASL and he hired these Craftsman in
shushan to go and do it which they did
but after they finish they realized that
uhoh we've got a problem the throne was
now too heavy to transport back to B
aish did not let that deter him he still
wanted to use that Throne he said no
problem Capital was in B now we're going
to move it to shushan and that's why A's
Capital was in shushan but who else was
in shushan that from and Esther were the
key players for the whole PM story to
happen for all the events that were
going to transpire afterwards to take
place had to be
in worked out this whole thing that
wants Throne the CR and make it uh oh
it's too heavy now has to come to
shushan where Mor and EST are so that
the whole PM story could take place
going back to Pinkus and with this we
can explain where
means I believe when he says that a perm
we're drinking for
clarity when we get to the PM sud that's
after a whole day of PM a whole day of
of hopefully contemplating and well they
really have the whole month of AD as
well this year we have an extra month of
AD but thinking about perm going through
the Milla thinking about the idea of
perm thinking about the idea of how
hasem is concealed but really in the
background Hashem is there pulling the
strings orchestrating everything taking
care of us if we're connecting to the
essence of the day then we in our own
lives Asin Pinkus will understand that
in the concealment of our lives in the
and the Darkness the trials of the
tribulations that we're going through in
our lives we could come to a point of
understanding and realizing and
being and actually saying a blessing
over the band in our lives and realizing
that hes who is in the background
orchestr orchestrating everything that's
going on in our Our Lives even when we
can't see it clearly when we're drinking
at the sud we can get to this point of
clarity to to say to bless even the
darkness in our life and realize that
it's from
AES and that he's orchestrating
everything in the
background so what does it mean when we
say we get mixed up we don't say we
say what does that mean so pus explains
that Mor
signifies sadic that sometimes when we
need something and we're doing for
something and we're not getting it what
do we do we go to the tadim we ask him
to D for us he ask him to pray for us we
ask him to give us a blessing that P we
get to the point where we realize that
there's no intermediary between us Andes
right now we're one onone withes we
could talk to
him we could tell him whatever we want
whatever we need this is the that we
could get to on PM when we're
drinking but I think you could take this
a step further as
well the whole year we can feel like
we're not sadikin it's very easy for us
to feel down about ourselves and say you
know we're not we're not where we're
want to be maybe we're not even where
we're supposed to be and we're not sadik
and it's very easy for us to think that
is not interested in us he's not
interested in what we have to to say we
don't
have's
ear on Pur we realize that
noes loves us for who we arees loves us
despite our shortcomings with our
mistakes with our Aus KES loves us and
we could talk one onone withes and this
concept is beautifully Illustrated from
the Miga as well this concept that loves
us despite our shortcomings one of the
pivotal moments in the in the Milla is
and the B the one read Milla he reads
this whole dramatic tone of voice it is
by L who on that
night the sleep of was was Disturbed
that what happens at that
point requests that the book of
Chronicles be brought before him and
read what happened that Morad saved his
life and now beginning of the story
happens that that aish rewards Mori by
having him ride in the world pulled by H
but the says something very very
interesting that when it
says that one of them one of the one of
the one of the one of thear explained
that this is alluding
to that
sleep was being
disturbed explains why is sleep being
disturbed
because
who is up watching us protecting CL
orchestrating the events of PM to make
sure that we're being taken care of
right now the the are condemned there's
created there's a decree against
the that they're going to die because of
the virus that they did this decree is
from
AES knows what's going to happen who
knows the end of the story he knows
we're going to be saved yet at this
point right now there's a decree against
the yiden because of the varus that they
did there's a decree that they're going
to
die sleep is Disturbed KES cannot sleep
either KES has to watch over us and take
care of us even though we've done a
varus and even though there's decrees
against us for to
die cannot
sleep Is Watching Over Us you see from
this the con who loves us loves the is
why because we're the yid and we're his
children even when we've done our VAR
who can't sleep he's watching over us on
P when we drink we could feel that
closeness with we realize
that wants to hear from us no matter who
we are no matter we we're holding no
matter what we've done we have
aes's Is Watching Over Us is
orchestrating the events in our lives
and wants us to talk to that we have
that connection with this is the clarity
that we could come to when we're
drinking
ad let's try to live a little higher
when we drink this year let's be
cognizant of the fact why we're drinking
what are we doing we're drinking to get
to the point of clarity and aush P we're
hung
over let's try to hang on to this
inspiration let's try to hang on to this
Clarity at bring it with us throughout
the rest of the year AR P have a happy
and joyous and a PM full of
clarity
