this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com my wife just met your sister okay I haven't heard everyone thank you everybody for joining us on this very holy evening is this so Z wants to know is this considered learning between the mill I'm sure you know every year say over from the and it's on the inside of thees book it's on the inside of the English book the tradition you learn in between the M of the night and the of the day wants to know is this considered learning it depends if we have something good to say tonight and it's considered learning then it will be considered learning so let's hope hopefully we have something good to say I want to begin tonight with the amazing question of the we know the wrote a stellar p on called [Music] andest actually says let's make a little analysis when it comes to the what kind of do the T mandate what's about you take you every single there only one kind of comes and the majority of the are what other do have the times of the year we have obligation and the majority of the and of course the r says theah of the is now I want to share with you an idea before I forget it I'm going to tell I'm going to share with you a few even though it has nothing to do with the share that we're about to say because I might forget to say it over pm and then I'm not going to if I don't have time to write it down it's just going to disapp it's going to disappear so here we goish number one what's you know the tells us that giving a gift secretly is greater than what did why because overcomes [Music] anger was scared of hashem's anger so m is greater thanu and it could even override and overcome hashem's now on we have to be worried about the of why because as we mentioned many times made a decree Hashem allowed hum's decree to go into place of and every year we have to deal with an annual looming decree of H and that's one of the reasons for tin that we have to the decree of H and therefore since every year we have to somehow fend off the off of so we have the MIT now as explains that the reason for is this way everybody's giving gifts to one to another and then when it comes time to give people are not going to realize you're giving a gift to the poor because maybe it's just in other words the reason for is just a cover up for people get all carried with but the it's really just a setup and we know that if sets up makes that's why on is a dangerous time it's a time of we have to deal with the Wrath of the decree of H so how do we overcome that that's one idea next idea again has nothing to do with the she maybe I'll quote it separately but the other idea the the next idea is like this Esther um tells a my dear husband you want to do me a favor come in a couple hours to a party fine he comes to the party and he says [Music] so we expect that Esther's about to unload this big request and what does she ask for come to tomorrow's party could somebody please tell me what happened why did she need to wait till the next day's party whatever she asked him on the next day she could have asked him at the first party why does she slept into the first party and then say come to a second party whatever she got to do to take care at the first party so this morning we said over from the izra that Esther was expecting to get some Sim and when no Simmon came she felt uh it's not an opportune time we'll have to wait till tomorrow but I had the following idea based on says that when came home from the first party it says he was we know what kind of is a very high madrea was h on a high madrea did he just learn Tyra what did he do exactly that he was a and says that Esther had a great plan the plan was we know that every Russia has a nit of kadha if you are able to snub out that nit of kadha the Russia will cease to exist so through Esther's idea was she's going to throw a suda of kadus H will be infused with kadha from it but that infusion of kadha will suck out like a magnet whatever little bit of kadha remains in h and will kill him and that's exactly what happened so Esther invites him to the party at the party he's experiencing the suit ofad thata snuffed out of H now he walked home from that party he was in a great mood little did he know that all that kadha that entered him snuffed out of him whatever little kadha he had left and then by the time the second party came around he was dead so that would explain why Esther invited to the first party and then said come back again the first party infused him with kadus and that snuffed out of him whatever kadushi had left and then by the the time the second party came he was depleted okay um but here's the main subject of this year and that is the of the every their only and most of the mitz especially the most important mitz are why what's the there is a incredible we know the Tells USA needs etching like the truth of the Tyra what does that mean like the truth of the Tyra the truth of the Tyra refers to mza that just like mza needs so too the Miga needs so there's a DI for all you out there there's a demion between Mill and mza just like mza needs C and Milla um just like mza needs so to Migel needs C etching like the truth of the Tor the truth of the Torah is that has the of what is the commonality between M and comes the holyer you could look it up in theas what I'm telling you now is from AER called not to be confused with this is like an alternate version of the it's also of and the says if you look carefully at the PM story we will notice something very interesting and this is uh something that I don't think is really emphasized or even recognized there's a little episode in the Milla that's not really focused on and that is morai raised Esther why did Mori raise Esther she was an orphan girl she had no father she had no mother and says the principle of PM and the Milla is the that Mori did by raising this orphan girl who had no father and no mother and here Mor had a lot of things on his plate he one of the he certainly had a lot of learning to do and the fact that he went out of his way to care for this child who had no parents and tend to her needs that is one of the greatest no I'll say that differently that was the greatest that had and because of the that he did to this girl he was to bring the Salvation to the Jewish people and not only did he raise her but he wanted to make sure that she would be married so he married her and he ow and when she was taken to parro to A's Palace for a period of five years he went every day how's she doing how's she doing that is the main theme of the M the great that did to this girl and when the PK says that he constantly went why does the Miga tell us that every single day morai went to the Courtyard of the king because the Milla is trying to explain to us what was it about Mor that he was to be bring Salvation to the Jewish people what did he have that he that he was a member of San no it's that every that he raised the girl he married the girl he went to see and check up on her every single day without fail and when it says when he says that he was by the sh that also means he was by the Gateway of Shay the Gateway of the king always praying for the welfare of Esther and therefore both M and Esther became to destroy it was the that did that allowed him to destroy Amal now continues the m is called sh and says so what exactly is the connection between mza and Milla and why is only mza called he says somebody who wants to do in the way that hem wants in a way that his T is Ms in a way that his said his Ms he will be able to destroy the and therefore if somebody wants to learn on the highest way and do in the highest way say that when a student goes into Exile the rebi goes into Exile with the student it's not enough to say okay I learned with t and I support them and I'm generous in teaching them likeu but one has to go further one has to be concerned for the welfare of theim to make sure not only they being successful spiritually but they're well taken care of and they have food and they have parasa and they have kala but moreover what if it's better for the rebi in his City but for the tamidim it's better in their City the re's love for the tamim should be so great that the rebi should go into Galos and where whatever the Tam may be whatever City they may be in it is the job of the rebbi to go to the T to go into gas with them not to care about his own needs but to be overwhelmed by the love for the in other words the and the is the combination of going to G for the and from who do we learn that you should go into Galos to take care of your Tam we learn it from a great king you know which king because you know what Hashem does Hashem says you kind you stay inside and I'll go on the outside of your doors and I'll watch you from the outside because I want you to be comfortable and I'll stay outside you go inside say we learn from who to guard us when we sit in the house and he this is outside of his cover this is really beyond the cover of a like says like UMAS said like the says thatas was really taken by the Mitzvah of mza that it's usually not the d The King to be on the outside guarding the subjects on the inside so basically from the Mitzvah of mza we learn out that it's the job of the revi to overlook his K and to go into Gus for the benefit of the Tam therefore M what's the Nudo in other words what's the theme of millas sester the theme of Mester is M went out of his comfort zone to help an orphan girl and he raised her and he married her and he went daily to check on her welfare that's the of the Milla the of Milla is the man the rebi the RV the leader of Cl should go into Goos for the benefit of the people and who does he where do we learn this from that is why m is learned out from now watch this look in the tum sheni an incredible tum sheni the tum sheni is found on the P per B Zion [Music] you ever wonder about the following question how did Mor get to Persia like what's he doing there why doesn't he live in the Holy Land isn't there a big Mitzvah to live in is for all you all you lovers of you know don't you always say it's a big live in what's doing living in in Persia says tum Shen you know why he was living in Persia he was living in Persia Esther because Esther was in Persia Mor went into Exile it's better to do than to live in I have a relative in Persia she has no parents I it is better for me to live the leave the holy land and go into Persia and care for this girl who has no parents and to live in living in is wonderful but there are things that are more important is more important is more important who says this made it's to to take care of Esther so actually points out the of Mor is exactly parallel to that of mza from mza we learn out God goes into GS he literally stays outside of the house to protect us on the inside and the of Mor is that he left and he went into Galos in order to care for Esther one more nuda very similar to the but the has just another take on it we know that every detail and the Milla was written for one reason and one reason only to amplify the miracle ask the why does the M say why is it included in the Mig that every day went to check on the welfare of Esther went every day to check on the welfare of Esther because she was AA and she was taken by a says similar and exactly like the in the Merit of the daily you know it's interesting we have an idea of D or orish there's a concept of learning every day V says every night a person has to ask themselves what to did I learn today what did I do today the same way one cannot let a day of their life go by without one cannot let a day of their life go by without and that's also expressed by Miguel every single day went before the courtyard of the king that was he made sure to do this every day and the says where did Mor get the strength from to say um every day refused to B to how did he have the wherewithal to do that in this of in that marriage M had the fortitude um to stand up to hamon so this is sort of a new take on the Milla namely that the main ofel was the that Mor did to Esther raising her tending to her taking care of her and that would answer say the question we asked why are the different than other the answer is very simple we need to remind ourselves in what Merit we were it was in the Merit of the that Mor did to Esther in raising her marrying her and uh seeking out her welfare every single day now one more uh the smug in his Min Mitzvah he counts as one Mitzvah he counts and he does not count why they're separate how is that connected to connected to they're all did you ever think that when I give I'm being did you ever think when I give what's the says now based on WE the main of the P story is the that did to Esther so the way we're the miracle not just we read the Milla and we tell over the great salvation but we sort of reenact the types of MIM that were performed in order to Warrant that Nest so are all part of pum Nissa okay these are just a few thoughts on the YP of of course another aspect of why we're we emphasize is because to counteract who said you ready for this year's not not so anyway I thought you might find that interesting and okay wishing everybody and uh I hope you continue your anyone you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by
