Okay
everyone, you know that for the last
many years we've been promoting the
words of
the of the who says if you learn
between and we know that is a very
important part
of writes that if one would dedicate
themselves with kaduca on pur and the
rest of the day spend inra
the would come.
So this year on Fridays we've been uh
having a sed we
call him actually this year's
purra tried to mock the he
made all right all right I don't know
we'll have to get a different one for
next year
but connecting the beginning and the end
of the para so we'll try that for kisa
but what I would like to do first is
applying that princip principle to
migillas. In other words, could we find
a connection between the beginning and
end of the migillah? That's that's our
first say there tonight. Applying the
principle
of to migillas Esther if I'm not
mistaken. Is that Mr. Calfman from
Manchester? I think so. Right. Is
it okay? Anyway,
um we know the begins that ruled over
Medit. It's interesting that the the
migill ends in the same way. It
ends actually right before that it
says that
Medina towards the end of the migilla it
also
reiterates and then even the third to
last the says mass is gamatria 100 va is
gamatria 27. So the book ends of the
migilla are the 127 medit. So that's one
connection between beginning and end.
Here's another uh another one and it
goes like this.
Rashi brings and the migillah says
who he was wicked from beginning to end.
In the beginning he was celebrating the
destruction of the B mikdash. What was
his wickedness in the end? The garra
says the wickedness
is he taxed the people. The reason he's
called is everyone became poor in his
life. So he's mit from the beginning of
the migillah till the very end of the
migillah where he taxes the people. Now
I'm going to share with you a golden
oldi which you know but we never applied
it in this context. We we said all the
years why does the migillah end that a
tax the people. So we've said many times
because where did those taxes go? If you
look in say for Ezra, Dary Yaveesh opens
up the treasury of taxes and he funds
the construction of the second
Bikash. So the story really comes full
circle. The story begins that Akash is
celebrating that the B mikdash is
destroyed and it will never be rebuilt.
By the end of the story, he's become the
chief fundraiser to rebuild the second B
mikdash. So that's also a connection
between the beginning and the end. It
begins that is celebrating that the Ba
Mdash will never be destroy will never
be rebuilt and in the end Hashem twists
his arm that he himself is the one
fundraising to build the second Ba mdash
right Hashem always uses interesting uh
procedures in fundraising fundraising
always takes interesting twists and
turns okay so that's already um three
connections you have the 127 med you
have the wickedness of a from beginning
to end and then you have the migillah
beginning that he's celebrating that the
basa mikdash will never be rebuilt by
the end of the story he's fundraising to
rebuild the basa mikdash I want to share
with you something I mamish just saw
in mahadura
tis it's I just saw it it's literally
still in my printer it's also found in
ma on migillas Esther in his last piece
of migillas Esther and also in moder
[Music]
Now what's interesting is he says like
this the migillah starts off a ruled
over the whole world 127
medit why why did he do
that
so the sheer amount says like
this. We know that many wealthy people
have mashars who are sadikim who are
supported from these wealthy people. But
it turns out that the person was only
wealthy. God gave the money so that he
could help the sadic, not the other way
around. So it may look like, well, this
person has a lot of money and by the way
he happens to benefit the sadic. No,
Hashem wanted to benefit the sadic. So,
he gave so and so the money and that
sadic is a
beneficiary. Think about
it. Why did Hashem raise up that he
became the king of the whole world and
127? Why did Hashem elevate to such a
great uh pedestal? You know why?
because there's going to be a great he's
going to be second in command to the
king. He's going to be a great God
is going to save the Jewish people. The
whole reason why Hashem elevated and
made powerful and wealthy is so that a
man will come along by the name of
Morai. He's going to become second in
command to and he's going to utilize all
of that wealth and power that had to be
able to help Israel. So the beginning of
the
mig was all a setup to the last
of so that's the connection brought in
the safer
she
now the purim rav was trying to poke fun
of that I'm quoting the pinas but I'm
going to do it anyway it's okay.
What letter does Miguel does Miguel
Esther begin with? No.
Vav. What letter does it end with? It
ends with the letter
V. It ends with the letter V. It begins
with the VV. It ends with the VV. Okay.
What are we going to do with that? You
know the third to
last. Does anybody know how to? So
again, you spell shin
vin. It's spelled that way in the homill
except for the last the third to last
their akash is
spelled it's a civ it's redash it's
spelled
kash it's missing two vavves so isn't it
interesting the migill begins with above
it ends with above but is missing two
vavves what is what is this all about
the garra tells us that when hashem
offered the
He had to force it. He had to shove it
down our
throats and we didn't accept it
willingly until the times
of the question is what do you mean we
accepted the Tory
willingly? We
said so we know the says in par we
accepted the written law willingly the
oral law we had to be forced to accept
the path. In fact, even though the
written law we
said we will listen and we will perform
meaning when it comes to that's when it
comes to it's just the opposite.
Now that means there was
a was in says in
the venu in the two
vishanu. Therefore miguelas and purim
was a way
of accepting theel willingly and taking
upon ourselves these two
vesu. Therefore it begins with the
letter v. V shamanu. So it ends with the
letter V the and we're making these two
VVs but is trying to take away these
VVs. So at the end of the migill is
without the two v. He's missing the two
ves is spelled two v. But the goal of
migill is to establish the two
of and then the migill starts the way it
ends. It starts with the letter vavv. It
ends with the letter vavv.
The
cloenberba says something very
interesting to connect the beginning of
the migillah with the end of the
migillah. Namely, we know that when
morai became close to the sanhedrin
separated from
him says from here we
learn you have two guys. One guy runs
out of the base to save a life. The
other guy he's in the base mish he
didn't have that opportunity he's
learning gamarra which one is greater it
is greater to learn tora than to save a
life
tora where do we learn this
from saved is but he went down in his
madrega says the
rebba
is what's the is
that and because
that only most of the Jews liked him but
some of the Sanhedrin had to separate
from him. So the fact that Morai rose in
power was in some degree a certain
amount of sar for
Israel. Um and then one more
idea
says
connecting to the end of the
migilli. He says something
interesting says that why in the times
of pur were we not to an open miracle.
He says from our vantage point from from
our merit the Jewish people would have
been worthy
but was not worthy like the garra says
about that he wasn't worthy that the
miracle should occur through him. So the
migillah's beginning and end is very
connected on the one
hand he was worthy of an open miracle.
The problem was and the and is that on
the other hand the king involved was not
worthy for the open miracle. He
was so these are a number of connections
between the beginning and end of the
migillah. Number one we
find number two we find is wicked in the
beginning and in the end he's still
wicked. The garra says the migill he's
taxing the people. The migillah starts
offer celebrating that the ba mdash will
never be rebuilt. By the end of the
story he's the fundraising for the bas
mikdash. It begins and ends with the
letter V because the tick of the two
vanu that's why is missing the two or is
the was not able to devote himself as
much to lira and
now Sanhedrin and then another so to
speak connection and contrast is that
while Mori
was nevertheless
because
was he um we were not to an open
miracle. Okay. So that's
the onestester. Now regarding I'm going
to tell you on the problem
is if you want me to do something on
someone has to put on a mask. Anybody
have a mask on
them? No.
Well, all the people who I don't see
them on the screen. That's like a mask.
So, I'm telling you once a
year. Come, I'm telling you to take off
the mask.
And we want to see your face. Otherwise,
you know. Thank you. Thank you.
Otherwise, it's a mess. So, I'm I'm
reckoning if I don't see you, I'm
reckoning that as a mask. Okay. For the
second Oh, now we're talking. It's 2:30
a.m. Mr. Lee Calfman. I I I I remember
you very fondly from Manchester. I
appreciate that you stayed up till 2:30
a.m. to join this year. And I'm and your
