this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com hey here 's to hamalka he's about to plead for her life the king sees Esther standing in the courtyard she finds favor in his eyes so the king extends the Royal scepter is there Esther approaches vatiga Borussia and she touches the head of the scepter I'll give you up to half the kingdom says I'll give you half of the Kingdom Alphas I won't give you the whole Kingdom in other words Esther you've come to ask something of me you've risked your life I'll give you anything but what I won't give you is I won't give you the base I make he has no inkling whatsoever that this woman is a Jew even right right if he if he would have uh suspected that she was Jewish I guarantee you things or this would have been a big Scandal okay we have heard about it but I sure has never even suspected she's Jewish by the way some suffer rights that why didn't Haman ever think that you know before he goes to plot against the kill cloudy so maybe the queen is a Jew the answer is that the gamar tells us in the SEPTA Magilla that Esther found favor in the eyes of anyone who looked at her and because I'll say that to everyone thought Esther looked like one of them so you know the Japanese thought she was you know Japanese the Italians thought she was Italian the French thought she was friends the Ethiopians yeah oh that's why Humma never suspected that she's Jewish so I always thought so why didn't I have sparrows ever suspect to Jewish because I first thought she's the Persian princess yeah so that's what so here this woman is coming in Esther never said he doesn't think she's Jewish she never asked for based him ignition in his life and after says you know what I'll give you anything but I won't give you the base on mcdosh why would he think in a million years that this woman is coming in to ask for the base of mcdosh what officers say you could come in but I'm not giving you the Taj Mahal I mean why why would he even suspect such a request okay this is the question of whether it's I just want to tell you you can't have Purim without Torah from organisms just wrote the classic word Yaris which is a beautiful safer of drush but a very large part of it is about the Purim story difference Russia Today and this is question number one of the aristavash in Russia and I've always said pay attention carefully we're going to ask 10 questions 10 questions and basically one answer okay so that's question number one question number one is dream up that this lady is coming in to ask about the basement oh question number two after hummon is killed you don't hear one word says to Esther Esther I'm not gonna let you build a basement you could do anything you could kill Hama you could hang his children you could take the spoils no as soon as someone is dead he drops the rhetoric about us if he doesn't want to be some English to be built then he should continue on and say Esther whatever you want you could kill him on you kill his children you could kill Allah malaikum but I'm not going to build the base on viktash why all of a sudden as soon as Esther reveals herself does he drop the whole thing about the base to make this if he's so anti the base if he's such a meshugana with the base hamiktas that this woman who he thinks is a Persian the first thing he says I'll give you whatever you want I'll give you oatmeal cookies but I won't let you build the base how Nick does then why does he why why does he drop it as soon as she reveals herself and humming his kills yeah so this was in his mind not that he thought it was in her mind he obviously thinks in her mind she's asking for this otherwise in other words he didn't even say a word imagine somebody comes into your office someone needs your help and says I'll help you with anything whatever you need I'm just not going to um drive you to Tallahassee I mean why would you think this guy you know you never heard that this guy ever went to Tallahassee apparently he's got that that she would want such a thing and therefore he said I'm not going to give that to you but why would he ever think that she would want that okay and this is question number three asked by the river of youngest and admissions right behind the Sun is making a big suda this is one of the greatest parties in history of mankind 180 days golden Calum everyone had their own bed everyone had their own wine everyone had wine older than them this was the most spectacular party in history yeah what is he what's he so happy about so hazal say because he made a 70-year husband and he calculated that the base that make dust would not be rebuilt why could he care less if today is will or will not be rebuilt you think it would affect his maluka let's say kalai still would build the base that make that then what they would go over and take over the world yeah Jewish uh Conquest but what's the big deal why who cares who cares who basically makes yourself even when the Jewish people built the basement they didn't rebel against Persia Persia was still the world Empire the Jewish people paid taxes to the Persians we were a loyal subject to Persia in fact in the second baseman there was an area called shushan habira to declare the Jewish people's loyalty to the Persian Empire so look after church is the king of the world did he say oh no maybe the Incas and Peru are gonna build their Temple Hashem the incos are not building their Temple he rules the world there are a lot of cultures there are a lot of ethnicities there are a lot of services a lot of rituals he wasn't a religious man here no he had no dreams of spreading Persian religion all over the world so why could he care why would he care yes based on make this no base that makes us his own father gave permission to the Jewish people to build the base I make there so why would an officer it's such a big celebration that he's making a party for 180 days who cares say when Haman came to us and he said I'm supposed to have a great idea I want to exterminate the Jewish people so Haman said I've never said great idea you want to pay for it you can do it for free think about McGillis says look at number six what is it somewhere to it's similar to two people one of them had a big mound of dirt and one of them had a hole so the one who had the whole said if only I had a mound of dirt to fill up my home I would pay for the dirt and the one who had the mound said if only had a hole to put the dirt so the guy with the hole wanted to buy the dirt from the guy with the man the guy with the man said take the dirt for free why should you pay for it I need to get rid of the dirt so akashmiros considered us a mound Hanuman considered us a whole and they both equally wanted to get rid of us number eight is here you have a guy he rules over the world now whether he was a mouse tip-ish or not a mouse tippish he apparently knew how to govern the world and everybody knows Mela the Miss right yeah if you want to rule the world you have to deal justly with your with your um citizens why would achasperos want to destroy the Jewish people okay what he's an anti-semite uh there are a lot of anti-semites out there most of them never had aspirations or even or attempted to annihilate the entire Jewish people why was it I understand Maliki it's in his blood it's in his DNA what's his thing did we ever harm him did we ever do anything to him first of all uh Ruby Anderson ads who's after Church's fathers is the one who gave permission for the Jewish people to build the base at McDonald's what his son was his father he's the one who said look at number seven and say for Ezra karish was the one who gave permission to build a base to make Dash Danielle these are the smartest people in his Empire the most trustworthy advisors after search knows from his father who he could trust who he could rely upon what's his business with annihilating the Jewish people he has no problem with the the Native American Indians he has no problem with the uh with the um Africans he has no problem with the Indians what's his problem with the Jewish people here akasource his advisors are Jews they're his most trustworthy uh constituents why does he want to destroy the Jewish people okay so that's really question four and number five number four is presumably after church knew how to rule over the world why would he want to eliminate an entire people and especially in light of the fact that all of his advisors were Jews and his experience dealing with the Jewish people what's his problem what's his issue okay look at my welcome number nine Jesus says [Music] became a king poor friend just like the king weird Royal Garb kak martikai love us preference so tomorrow just like a king has a crown so too Mordecai just like a king everyone is afraid of so too Marathi just like a king yeah any Kings over here not yet but if you were a king the first thing you need to do you want to Mint the coin with your picture on it right right so so to Mordecai minted a coin with his picture on it on one side was marathon and on the other side was uh the other side was Esther right Martinez and says I'll tell us that Mordecai was Amela voiceai who made him a king let him ride the Royal Horse let him wear the Royal garment let him wear the Royal Crown and Proclaim before him so here you have this guy atmospheros and he's minting coins with Mordecai's picture on him the guy is Michigan what kind of a lunatic is that casperos he wants to eliminate he wants to annihilate he wants to destroy every man woman and child so he obviously hates us but Mordechai you could wear the Royal you ride the Royal a horse and wear the Royal garments and we should Proclaim before you and our conspiracious minting coins with mordechai's picture on it from the history that God created the world but there's a tempest and there's a tippish I mean you can't even you can't even imagine that's like I mean if you hate Jews why would you mint coins with the greatest juice picture on it does he hate us or does not hate us what is he Meshuggah it's craziness it's absurdity you have never heard such a more ridiculous thing in the world he here he hates the Jewish people and he's making Mark had a king he's a bipolar yeah that's one Terrace that's uh that's the only way to explain it what's going on and then listen to this right he hates the Jewish people he wants to annihilate us and then says Esther what do you want to tell me Esther says I'm a Jew oh you're a Jew kill come on and now the Jews could write whatever they want against their enemy one second 10 seconds ago you hated the Jewish people so much you wanted to annihilate them and you were best buddies with Brahman the biggest anti-semite in history and now because your wife says she's Jewish now all of a sudden all those Jews they're so Zeus they're so cute let's kill the ad homine and all the amalaikum and if you ever saw a flip-flop this guy could be the next president yeah what's wrong with this man does he love the juices he hate the juice was also married to the king of matrim doesn't mean all of a sudden he started went over to the time and he he started to love the Midstream and to love that just just because your wife is a Jew you know here take take my Signet ring and now you make xerious against that mole I mean if you love Dominic so much what changed so quickly now if somebody loves the Jews bipolar that's what it sounds like that's what the psychiatrist would say right Esther so now all of a sudden Jews so now all of a sudden now that the entire Jewish people are wonderful and all of his best friends are going to be murdered I mean this guy is nuts in life other than the question okay it's not life I gotta take care of you so now he's gonna become the king so there's a man for a second right you're Ronald Reagan you're Ronald Reagan right and someone uh decides to save the King's life so now Ronald's gonna say you know what you're the next president of the United States for I'm going to stop you're gonna mint coins with the guy's picture on it all right you give him you'll have a ceremony you go down to the World Trade Center side and you'll you'll have a hole so you'll give them a plaque but now he's the president of the United States now he's the king more yeah no no you're the president said now you're going You're Gonna Ride uh and um uh what's the ear what's the name of the the jet the president uh the Air Force One yeah where's the president he's riding in some you know 747 but the guy who saved his life he's running Air Force One and everyone's waiting for the president's State of the Union Address no he can't make it that day the guy who saved his life he's the new president well what's wrong with this man yeah and then my voice is the king second in command for God Allah most of the college World likes him why most he's a rabbi that's why right that's the most that's the most you could expect most right the most you could ask for is most of the government so so the gamara Magilla says why only most says the gamaras the Sanhedrin separated from him why listen carefully why is that hedgen separate from him because tomatilla is even greater than saving a life so even though Mordecai was involved in doing a very big Mitzvah saving Jewish lives but learning Torah is more valuable than saving Jewish lives and therefore he went down in my draga and therefore imagine said sorry we can't associate with you anymore right they like the story about the guy um he was late to Yeshiva so if Allah says no where were you he said uh I was saving a life because said you would have been better off not meeting that guy and coming to Yeshiva you would have been more you would have gotten moragani then had you had this place to learn he actually saved a life how about that what if I'm sure limits would have been the ones and nothing against that particular individual but uh it doesn't matter stop learning now that he became involved in the government why would say such a thing what now that Mordechai got caught up in the Intrigue of the government and the politics of the government and now he went down in Madre you know you know what he did you know what happened Mordecai became a Mella once Mordecai became a mela if you're a milk you can't serve on the sanhajan anymore so since he became a mela the sanhajan said Mordechai you're a great guy but you can't be part of the sun Savanna so here you have a man he's gonna he's the Godzilla yeah and he is thinking to himself either I could have my picture being minted on coins and be the Mela or I could be recognized as kamikakum and sit with the Sun a lot of them no this wasn't a Jewish appointment it wasn't a Jewish appointment there was a it was a government appointment but nevertheless cannot sit on this on engine so so assuming Services thanks but no thanks who needs false covered when you can actually be spending time learning time I mean you're gonna say You're Gonna accuse now Mordechai of of choosing Malthus choosing political power and Prestige and honor over the ability to sit on the sanhajan how do we explain why Mordechai accepted such a thing okay and now let's let's talk about another thing this is who does he love what what is he like what does he see in hormone exactly the man what he likes is such a Charming guy I mean if you look at all the pictures he's a he's an ugly dude right how am I with that nose and the ear he looks very you would trust Taman with anything I don't know if a guy liked the way they played him and walks into my room I don't care what he offers to pay me I'm running away Hama looks like the sleaziest guy ever loves him so much that not only does he point him the picture of leather says that he appointed all of his sons as Governors throughout the Medina so what's going on what did akashur see in ham and why did he love Haman so much not promised him a lot of money [Music] what is this very unnatural relationship hormone is from Lake as I swear it's just Persian what how do we explain this relationship and finally Rabbi is that question number 10 curries Esther that who's the thorn in the place of the thorn yala Baruch arises the Cyprus the cypruses and in a place of vashti who tried whose grandfather destroyed rafidas God made a name for himself says the gemara zoo micro Magilla God made a big name for himself [Music] God made a name for himself with the Magilla his name's not even in the Magilla that's right the one thing in other words to Nico Magilla the words Hashem made a name for himself I would say the one book that God was my his name minimize his name as we go sister no where did God make a name for himself in the one book of Tanakh where hashem's name is not mentioned very strange very strange so I both say fasten your seat belts the name of the shear is the return of ravionis and ibischitz the Purim story like never before okay every year you have to learn the poor and story according to organic driver says he always has very genius ingenious ways of uh explaining the story and says there is uh we have a number lucky number 21 okay number 21 in Afghanistan if you look in the ancient Chronicles of Persian history and world history in the books of the cadmoynem specifically Joseph then gorion says there was one very common and prevalent practice among the ancient Persian king and that is they were all very superstitious and they would all look into the stars and they emphasize astrology and predicting the future and the one question that always plagues every Persian king was foreign Emperors they're always assassinating each other poisoning each other Persian kings who's taking over and actually looks up at the stars and all of his astrologers tell him she wouldn't believe it we don't know who the next king is going to be but one thing we could tell you because he's going to be Jewish sure said what the next king is going to be a Jew with the entire happiness of My Life by marrying this nasty woman vashti to become the king and now you're telling me the next king is gonna be a Jew he was so angry and he was so boiled over he says how's that possible it must be that the Jewish people have big has August now that they're gonna build the base on Nick Dash and take over the world and usurp the mouthless of the world and therefore says the one thing that I have to do is stop the Jewish people from rising to power and the only way to do that is to make sure their Temple is not built this way they'll never have malchos right and this way I will be able to yoshin and bequeath my maluka to my son so when this guy it's very rush to have a great idea I'm gonna pay you a lot of money because this is pay me money I should pay you money you're doing me the biggest favor in the world Hammond thought we were a Pittock as far as said I have extra dirt go put it into your pit you're doing me a favor oh so now akashuris doesn't know what to do when the 70 years are over and he sees the base time English is not built it's the biggest simcha in his life Hashem the Jews they'll never be able to uh Garner the power to rebuild the base of mcdosh and establish maluka that's why after church was so happy when the base of English was not built oh looks up in the stars and he says but the Stars still tell me that the next king of the Jewish people the next king of the world will be a Jew says you know I know a certain thing about the way the Stars work that they predict certain ominous future but if you could be Makai myth in even a small way that could make that the prediction will be going on a small thing for example when the thriam when Paris said power said Jews when you leave Egypt I see in the future there's going to be a lot of blood in your future you can be wiped out in the mid bar so when we did the Bismillah in the mid bar what is your benon say take a look on your sheet in number 19. on this day that you had the Dom of Mila you removed from yourself the shame of matron because yes there was blood in your future but you were Makaya in the blood AI Davis is brilliant he says if the next king of the Jewish people is going to be the next king of the world is going to be a Jew so even those days something is not filled but I never know what could be I have a great idea come here Mordecai today you're gonna ride on the Royal Horse and you're gonna wear the Royal clothing and I'm gonna even mint coins that you're a mission element and that you're the king this way my dream that the next king of the world will be a Jew will be fulfilled in this silly way that you're the king that was after Church's scheme he figured by making Mordechai the leader of his arch enemy the Jewish people king for a day that will fulfill this dream that he's having that the next king of the Jewish people the next king of the world is going to be a Jew Maybe by making you King Mordechai that will fulfill the port then of the dream ah says was worried sick that the Jewish people were Garner power and take over the world and the only way to stop that was to interfere with the building of the basement oh there's only one way to interfere with the building you know how you do that the gamara tells us number 22. that when Cloud Israel entered Israel they're commanded on three midways number one Tanya Charlize they have to make a king number two mole to kill Emily number three if you live and it has to be in that order number one a king because Kiana case is a throne a throne is mouthless in order to destroy that molec you need to be a king first you need Malthus and only then you can destroy our Malik and only if you destroy our mole could you build a basement the less likely the Jews will be able to rebuild the basement because in order to build the base oh my gosh I'm all it has to be wiped down Sasha sure says this hamon he's the ugliest guy I ever saw he's the most Sinister guy ever so I wouldn't trust him with a penny but the more power I give him the less likely the base of mcdosh will ever be built that explains the unusual relationship between atmospheres and Haman represented the ultimate thorn in the side of the base because in order to build a base you need to eradicate amalek and as long as the monks around the base I make this will never be built by the way Rabbi said that's why 18 years before they built the basement gave word all you Jews go up return build a basement but they weren't successful you know why they weren't successful you can't build the base on niktas destroy that Molly so to build the second amazing so it says the only thing that Haman the actors liked about Haman was the amaleki represented the one impediment to rebuild the base I mean had no idea what faster one he didn't know if she was a Persian a Syrian Saudi Arabian he had no idea what her ethnicity was but one thing he did know about her is that this lady cannot stand Hummer because every time Homan walked into the room she had a throw up she became nauseated she could not stand this come on guys so when Esther walks into the room he says to her Queen listen to me I'll give you whatever you want but one thing I can't give you is I can jeopardize my legacy and the Persian Empire and I have to ensure that the next king will be my son and not some Jew and therefore I'll give you anything but the base hammocked us you cannot rebuild the base that makes sense rebuilding this means my legacy will go down the drain so I'll give you anything in other words the the state of the destruction of the base represented to him the ability and the possibility of him having a future son in his throne yeah boy so now we understand right now we know now we understand our other side why uh Mordecai accepted to be a king why did Martha except to be a king you can be a king at the expense of losing the camaraderie and the friendship and the association of the Sanhedrin the answer is Mordechai understood then in order to build base hot mix Dash you need to destroy who I'm awake and in order to destroy I'm awake you need to be a mela it doesn't work three missiles colleagues over again when they enter at Israel make a king destroy our mole build the base how make Touch by the way that's why what do you mean yeah but destroy our Malik you have to be from Benjamin but but you also have to be a king and that's why you have this unusual thing of show being a king and come from Yemen at the same time and Mordecai was the foundation of the first base Mordecai is the foundation of the second is that's why Mordecai accepted to be a king at the expense of losing the camaraderie of the Sanhedrin thank you says as soon as Esther reveals to akashiro I'm a Jew so all of a sudden his head starts spinning what's going on you're a Jew that means our little boy is what my dream was the next King of Persia is gonna be my son be my son said nothing against the Jewish people what does attitudes have against the Jewish people the only thing he had against us is because he had a dream the next King of Persia is going to be a Jew so it must be the Jews will build a basement take over the world but now that his own kid is a Jew because Esther is a Jew foreign um the end of 21. let's see let's see let's see over here look at it right before at the end of number 21 he says when he found out afterwards the rest was a Jew Heaven he understood everything foreign but I got him it follows the mother he says he realized that his own son is going to be the inheritance he's gonna be the yarish that they always will sit for kisai and he'll wear his crown and so officers was calm now so now he has no problem now you want to build you want to kill a hamon I don't I never liked this guy come on I never liked his nose I never liked his triangle hat he always made gave me the creeps but I had no choice the only way to prevent Claudia Throne from taking over the world and establishing the next king was employing an amalaking but now that I don't need to employ the amaleki because now that the next king is gonna be my son oh it says everybody knows that hashem's name is incomplete so long as a Malik is in the world Hashem swears that is thrown in his name are incomplete so long as amalek is in the world and therefore and therefore the megillah which talks about the downfall of our Malik is creating a shame for Hashem because now hashem's name is complete by the way that's why if you look on top of the word zachar anyone know the trap on the word zachar is a Zucker rights we'll talk about this more tomorrow is above in two years a long line and two dance love until you came up okay 26. don't you remember to wipe out of Molly and the shame Hashem is complete so that's how through the Magilla hashem's name was made complete now by the way just point out the David Tebow writes in his eyes Beethoven and Russia that we know the second base time did not reach the level the first place the second basea mikdash was lacking five things why was the second base lacking um more lacking than the first the answer is because the grander of the base is dependent on how thoroughly we eradicate amalek and in bias we shine we had a real Miller so show and shmuel were able to eradicate our Malik to a very great extent and therefore the first place we just had a lot of Trina was not such a real Malthus it wasn't a Jewish appointed Marcus it was through the Persians and since it wasn't a full mouthless they weren't able to eradicate amulet completely and therefore the shrina was also somewhat incomplete so everybody so let's come back to our questions we asked number one why would Akash think that this lady is gonna ask about the base of mcdosh because he knew that she could not stand come on and building the base hamiktas would mean the downfall of Haman we asked why didn't why did Officer stop telling Esther nobody something there's no base to make this why did he stop saying that after Homan was killed because after humans killed and he knows the next king of the Persian is going to be his son he doesn't care at the base of English as well he's very happy the way something this will be built we asked why is Africa celebrating destruction of this because to him the devastation they said meant that maybe just maybe his mouth would continue why do officers want to kill the Jews why didn't he trust them weren't they his best advice as the answer is it's be all because of his dream so because of this astrological sign that he saw that the next king of the Persians would be a Jew what's the craziness that he makes Mordechai the king the answer is to try to be Makai in his column a little bit on that appointment of Mordecai why all of a sudden when he finds out that Esther is a is a Jew does he suddenly love the Jewish people the answer is because he's happy the next king of the person is going to be his son why did I accept to be a malach he knew that's the only way to destroy our Malik what's after surgery the possibility that he would be able to put his son on the throne and finally Miguel assasser created a shame for Hashem because with the downfall of amalek then hashem's name will be complete you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
