Right Back At Ya! Pharoh, Haman, Ferdinand & Stalin {Purim}

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com thank you Rani for the warm introduction for dedicating this Mal should be to your father for be for your whole family for what a beautiful MIM it is tonight s by the and now in the in the B Med and my humble to the and to the they should continue to grow and tonight's are dedicated anonymously and this you know there's a very challenging teaching people have a very hard time with this Garra there are a lot of things people have an easier time with this one is a tough one people are very they get very anxious when they hear they have to start being happy you know people they they enjoy being grouchy you know they get a kick out of it sometimes you know but when they say you have to be happy they they'd rather they'd rather be gr they actually are happier being grouchy it gets them nervous so the good news is kki says don't worry it doesn't start not until the second day because the first day is already it's not yet doesn't begin till shab so you have the whole the whole week you you still have but actually if you look in the and the says no Begins by the M already already Thursday says no it doesn't say when ad begins it says already starts sh ready today we apply the rule that's how you know nothing in this world is coincidental now we heard terrible news on Thursday that the return of these babies terrible innocent children that clao were hoping to hear that they would return alive neb they were returned on Thursday why Thursday you know by the way even the president of Argentina decreed a national day of mour because the family had citizenship in Argentina so what does that mean if you're a yid if even in Argentina they feel a certain in with a fellow citizen how should a yid feel so the wanted to make sure that that bad news would come Thursday before Thursday was already the last day of the period of the year that began it ended Thursday because already shab begins shab as well so all the bad news came out already last year and we hope beginning today already Rashi says so beginning today already begins miraculous times for we should from here on in only to see I want to take you to the end of the M there's a seemingly innocent P at the end of the Milla the last peric of the Milla the last peric of the Milla begins taxed the people and who cares that tax the people people why is it relevant that tax the people you know the very next p is you want to know the history of the Milla you want to know the palace Intrigue you want to know the politics got the wrong book he got the wrong book Go to The Chronicles of Persian media this book was written for one reason and one reason only Puma pum so why do I need to know tax the people so I looked around the brisar asks the question what's this doing in the Milla why does Miga tell us tax the people I would like to present to you an original approach and I think this approach will open up Mish a p in the entire Mill you know the gar Milla points out that there's one extra word in the Milla says that a couldn't sleep one night by the way you know he a lot of people can't sleep a lot of people where Ronnie said that uh he was speaking about his father that his father put in 100% of his effort so when his head hit the pillow at night he always fell asleep right away but that's a rare thing a lot of people have a hard time falling asleep at night actually the meter says theas had a hard time falling asleep is cuz Gabriel came and he knocked his head against the wall 366 times Sleep Experts have concluded it's very hard to sleep when a Malik bangs your head against the wall 366 times it could be very disturbing and who's coming Ham's coming says Al it should say on the tree that he prepared but it doesn't say that it says Al on the tree he prepared for him that H prepared it for Mor the word is extra prepared it for it should say says the three words he thought he was preparing it for Mori he was really preparing it for himself by the way the BBA says how know not just from the extra word it says means what was doing by making the tree it was a for the greatah of he must have been doing it for himself if it says it must be he was doing it for himself it's not just from the extra word Li okay but but this line of gar is not an isolated comment it's like a bolt of lightning you know in the gamar rant whose yard site is always the week of the Bal say why is's yard site the week of because endeavored his whole life to elevate to the same level as and so he was because this was the great contribution of RAB salant would say every word of kazal is like a bolt of lightning what does that mean like a bolt of lightning we live in darkness but when kazal says something it sheds so much light but not just in this m it sheds light on the whole world Kaz say that hon Was preparing the tree for himself this is not just an isolated incident this is a paradigm that we have to apply to the entire PM story I'll give you a few examples in the beginning of the story a has a problem with his wife he asked vashi to come display herself now I don't know if you know about the history of ancient Kings but back in the day if you're the king of the world you're King Henry you're King James you have a problem with your wife there's a very simple solution you make a new the next day that's how they did it they didn't talk things out they didn't go to therapist they didn't discuss things if the if the wife doesn't listen that's how it worked all of a sudden is a progressive guy he doesn't know what to do with his wife so he brings the case what's wrong with this guy why is he discussing this with the Congress his wife doesn't listen he knows what to do so the vill says the Milla itself addresses this question the next words in the Milla are means the law in Persia was that if something was relevant to the king himself he could not make a unilateral decision he had to bring it in front of the Congress that's what the words mean if it's he has to bring it to the Congress so the Kasha is fast forward to the end of the story is fuming at H he goes outside meanwhile ham takes a misstep with Esther he comes back into the palace is fuming even more says look look out the window there's The Gallows what does say t what do you mean t this is the king how does he have a right to make a unilateral decision why doesn't he bring it to the what gives right over of a sudden to make the decision on his own says the gr because there was a guy in the palace who changed the law you know what his name [Music] was made the following proposal that's a ridiculous law here in pers that you can call all the shots you need to bring a question that's relevant to you in front of the Congress from now on I propose that you call all the shots you make the decision so who's responsible that a is able to knock off H unilaterally thank you very much ham if not for you you might still be around you know would have brought to the court they would have had a split vote and uh they would have given him 10 years and then probation or something what allowed to knock off H was so he did it for himself and there many many examples in the Millan let me give you a open example the stier writes about in the Bas parat you have this adorable baby he's floating in the Nile his name is m mha little kid his mother threw him in the Nile because the king of Egypt saw from the astrologers that the was going to be born so par decided he's going to put an end to any possibility of the I want to tell you something a baby floating in the Nile his life expectancy is about a few a few seconds now I once spoke in Phoenix Arizona so they took me to a Mak and they had over there an albino crocodile you know an albino crocodile so the trainer goes in he's sitting there like like he's minding his own business like he doesn't see what's going on the trainer comes in puts a stick of bsar on a stick the crocodile jumps 6 feet so quickly heops the meat and is back in his place faster than your eye could take it in you can't even see it that's how fast he jumps so if there's a baby floating in the Nile there's no life expectancy parro said we're going to put an end to the m is and what happens his own daughter stretches out her arm brings him into the palace that night at 2 a.m. parro can't sleep he says Basia what's the noise in the Next Room so it's I have a new baby where' you get the baby T not right now not now the baby's hungry you want to go out to CVS and get some formula so par says okay you're going to pay for it no no dad put it on your American Express card you pay for for it so par is Raising mosu is feeding M you knowu didn't grow up with CLA Isel M grew up under par you know izra writes Izar is bothered why does m grow up in the palace why doesn't he grow up with the rest of the Y izra writes that if M would have grown up with CLA who were a he would have had a slave mentality he would have had low self-esteem and he would have been the leader of clo he couldn't have been a m he needed to grow up in royalty to be able to be the leader of the Jewish people if not for par there never would have been AA you know it says in per no it doesn't say that but it but if not fora never would have been mat par thought he's going to put an end to the is groom the created the if we have a tonight because we're celebrating the of this we have to thank you have to have if not for we wouldn't be here today that's the the S writes of how the runs the world says I'm not afraid of the Russia you give me the Russia you give me his plans I'll hijack the plan to bring about salvation for CLA there many many examples in the Milla we're limited on time I'm going to take you straight to the end of the story but you know the PM story doesn't end the because after M CL decides they're going to go back to rebuild the second bdash so you look in sa for Ezra the Jewish people commit they dedicated themselves to rebuild the second m the problem is they don't have money they have no funding so they send a letter to the King of Persia named who's the King of Persia at the time dares Darius do us a favor Darius would you kindly fund the building of the second M mdash so you know what the PK says in Ezra says Darius opens up the storehouses of the king the storehouses of taxes and he gives the money to the Jewish people to rebuild the second mikdash and I ask you where dides get all this tax money from to help rebuild the second it came from his father's taxes so look how the PM story has come full circle The Story begins that has a suda what's he celebrating he's celebrating that the said that the B will lay in ruins for 70 years whereupon it will be rebuilt and the 70 years were up so said it hasn't been rebuilt it will never be rebuilt was celebrating what he thought was the Eternal destruction of the second bikash and by the end of the story has become the chief fundraiser to rebuild the second mikash but it's much more than that if you have asked pal what are you celebrating here at this party I'm celebrating I'm celebrating the fact theik of the Jewish people will never be rebuilt and laughing you're celebrating the never rebuilt just the opposite you're going to call vashi she's not going to listen you're going to kill her you're going to marry Esther you're going to have a kid you're going to charge taxes he's going to take all the money and rebuild the second base of MDES you think this party is celebrating destruction this is the first parlor meeting to help rebuild the second mikdash that's the Story full circle it opens up celebrating it will never be rebuilt by the end of the story that very party has been the fundraiser to rebuild the second B mikdash and don't think this is a manner of hash that we find only in miger this is the uses in the Galos in every single generation I'll just give you a few examples you ever hear of Lakewood Yeshiva I didn't think so who built Lakewood yeah close yeah you're good everyone's going to say R iron Cutler okay yeah he had a big part of it but let me explain a little bit see in 1492 Ferdinand and Isabella embarked on a program something called reconquest they were going to conquer the entire Iberian Peninsula they had only one little piece of land they didn't conquer Granada that was the last area to full and finally writes in that when Granada fell they committed themselves to show to their false god that they would expel every last Jew August 2nd Thursday they didn't realize it was Tish but Heaven orchestrated that it should come out on Tish why because they said the Jewish people will never again have a Haven to build Tyra to build Judaism we have a record of a cabin boy in Seville who his boat was leaving August 2nd Tisha 1492 and as his boat is leaving the dock he's waving to three boats that were in the dock the name of the three boats were the Nina the Pinta and the Santa Maria of Christopher Columbus that that Voyage was paid for by Ferdinand and Isabella cuz ranam is laughing you think the Jewish people will never have a Haven to build Tyra not only will they have a greater Haven than Spain you will fund the discovery of this country that will house more Tyra than any other country that K is ever had in their history that's Al that's how hasem runs history the orchestrates events by taking the Russia hijacking his plans and bringing about the results that he wants through the plan of the Russia himself if I may with your permission this is something we saw in the last 100 years you know if you were to ask who is the most vicious dictator in the world for the Jewish people in the last 100 years those who know history know that the answer is Joseph Stalin Yak he killed more than 20 million of his own you know that he had a plan I'm going to tell you about it soon you know he had a plan to eradicate after Hitler destroyed the Jews of Europe he was going to eradicate the Jews of of Russia you know already in the 19th century the Russian government had a systematic plan to eradicate all the Jews of Russia they were going to kill a third convert a third expel a third and millions of Jews already immigrated by the time the 20th century came somehow it got into Stalin's head you know in the war of independence that they were the Jewish people were losing the war we were losing the war we didn't have any ammunition and Stalin got in his head that the Jews in Palestine they're socialists he didn't like the fact that the British were Democratic he figured if he supports the Jewish settlement they'll be communist did you know that Stalin funded the war of independence if not for him they would have fell in 1948 maybe there wouldn't be air Yeshiva today maybe there wouldn't be ter you know who you have to thank for that Stalin funded the War 5 years later in 1953 Stalin saw that these socialists were not going to be Communists so he had an about face he switched his mind very quickly Stalin had trumped up charges raised against six doctors this is the infamous doctor plot where six doctors were evicted of medical malpractice this was February 28th 1953 he built railroad tracks from Mainland Russia to Siberia where he was going to take between two and 4 million Jews not gas them Siberia the temperatures were between -75 and 95° he was going to park them there for 2 weeks and they would die of hypothermia this was February 28th 1953 it's now chabas y giml Adar 1953 R zilber was in a forced labor camp and he's preparing his friends he says tonight is purm tonight we're going to read the Milla and in a few days Stalin's plan was going to go into effect to transport between 2 and 4 million Jews to Siberia he says look Hashem saved the Jewish people in times of PM from a hon Hashem could save us from a Stalin and there was a yid there he started he lost it he said Rabbi why are you telling us nonsense about what happened 2500 years ago with hamon do you know who Stalin is Stalin is strong like an ax when Stalin says something it happens when he decrees something it's fulfilled he's not like a humon we're done we're done in a few days we're all headed to Siberia this was 7:50 p.m. RAB zilber said Stalin is a b vam he doesn't even know what will be with him in 30 minutes at 8:23 33 minutes later Stalin who was in perfect health stroked out suddenly you know Stalin had a stroke the jail guards they didn't know what to do Stalin is is teetering life and death by the way zra says he doesn't even know if he knows to Hill B it's because at that moment he just said to H him to H him to H him to him for Stalin to die he writes am I allowed a d for someone to die yeah I'm allowed a d for Stalin to die he had never learned to him he found it within himself to recite the G one of the famous Russian refus necks Stalin died the day before the decree was set to go into effect it started the Yeshua happened PM 1953 72 years ago to the day PM 1953 a great Yeshua for CLA one of the greatest salvations in the history of CLA isra on purin by the way at the levia of Stalin another the second biggest Russia of the time was the president of Czechoslovakia who was F Stalin was fuming at him cuz he let some of his some Jews go to Israel Stalin was fuming at him so to Plate Stalin this the president chak shot most of his administration he went to Stalin's Lea he stood by the and he dropped de on the spot look it up the president of Czechoslovakia dropped dead over the Aron of Stalin this all was set into motion Pim 1953 so when Rashi tells us rash doesn't just mean back in the day may like says there's an R that's every year during this time of the year beginning in culminating in Pur and P these are days of of great for and therefore we hope asem beginning today already we're hoping we're anticipating we're
