hello how are you hope you're having a good week wanted to give you the of the day before we start our next in Miami uh this week we're going to be reading me Meg is a very very beautiful Story full of Miracles and the first question that K asks in is how come the name of hem is not mentioned in the Miga you know I mean if you it's part of the uh it's part of the critical part of of of the T it's part of the it's the only book in the entire me that aem's name is not there the same question that people ask today where is AEM how come he's not uh giving me a miracle to show me that he's uh that he's really there just like he did to the people of am Isel and uh in the desert in Egypt before after in the BET mikdash to open Miracles why doesn't Hashem just show himself and make everyone a Believer well first and foremost one thing that we learned from Mount sa is that miracles do not make people righteous they may acknowledge that God exists but it doesn't necessarily stop them from sinning as we saw from the but in one of the things that hasem wanted to teach us is that this is the last generation of open Miracles but he's going to show us these Miracles through the meila without showing it in an obvious way to anyone that's not investigating the issue but anyone read that reads the mea you can see that every little piece of the puzzle added up so much show that it's impossible for anyone to believe it wasn't open miracles from Hashem so much so that at the end of the meila when kazal told Estel listen we don't think that your idea of publicizing the story is a good idea maybe the go are going to go after us they're going to be upset that we're mentioning Our God she goes no no no the gim already know the story they obviously saw it and even they agree that Hashem was a very big part of it Hashem was all of it just to give us a little bit of a taste of how Hashem Works in our life and how we connect it to me still we saw that in the beginning of the meila after Vash the original wife of aash king of the world at the time 27 countries as it mentions in the beginning of the Miga she refused to go see him the reason why she refused to go see him is because hasem punished her for the wickedness that she uh made Jewish women work on Shabbat he punished her and destroyed her beauty by giving her the disease of tarat so after she refused she didn't tell uh that Hey listen I have tarat he's going to throw in a garbage she said no I'm not going and by the way I am the queen Vash not Vash the queen obviously didn't take it too well get you know became Furious and he asked his advisers what should I do one of the advisors his name was mean mean actually kazal explains to us is really ham and Haman said not only do I think that you should punish her but I this whole idea that the king should have have to ask permission from his advisers I think you should cancel it I think you should have complete author authority over everything I think that you should have no uh no uh you know need to ask for any advisors and you should punish her because if you don't punish her then all of the wives of all of the men of all of the Kings and all of the regular people will disrespect their husbands you have to show as an example now when it mentioned originally it mentioned the names of the uh of the advisor of it mentions and we see here that the last name the last person that was mentioned was mean was ham so why is he speaking first here we have to go back to the mishna and the mishna it tells us in mishna chapter 5 Section seven it says seven traits characterize an uncultivated person and seven trads a learned one meaning seven things characterize a fool and seven things characterize a wise person a learned person does not begin speaking before one who is greater than he in wisdom or in years he does not interrupt the words of his fellow he does does not answer impetuously he asks relevant questions and replies appropriately he discusses first things first and last things last about something he has not heard he says I have not heard and he acknowledges the truth and the reverse of all of these traits is characterized the uncultivated person the fool so first thing we see that Haman violated this mishna says show this shows here that he is a fool as much money as he had cuz he was a very very wealthy person he was still a fool money does not make you smart makes you think you're smart but not necessarily make you smart why because here we see that he was the last person that was that uh referred to but he was the first one that spoke that's not something that a smart person does usually a smart person lets other people finish what their thought is because also one of the main things that we learn is that usually when someone has lack of confidence they're always interrupting the other people it's not only shows a lack of confidence it's not only show foolishness but it also shows that the person doesn't actually care about the other person's idea which is very very unethical the next thing is that it says it does not answer impetuously right away right away gave him the whole idea it's not a good idea to give everything in one shot he asks relevant questions he replies appropriately we see that the idea that uh ham had didn't exactly pan out because when a asked the rabbis which is even before his own uh wise people the rabbi said no you know what we know they thought to themselves we know that if we tell him to kill her tomorrow morning he's going to wake up and he's going to realize his wife is missing he's going to blame us he going to kill us if we don't tell him anything then he's going to say ah you guys are useless he's going to kill us anyway so what are we going to say so they told listen since the destruction of the bet mikdash they destroyed the our ability to judge in thean so we don't give any rulings not just for you your honor but anyone we don't give any rulings had a very very clever way of getting out of it because sometimes when somebody asks you for their opinion and you know that there only lose lose scenario the best thing you can possibly do is find a clever way to get out of it but on the other hand we can never never forget we can never forget that if you see someone sinning you have an obligation to rebuke them obviously not rebuking them by screaming at them in the middle of the street you can't bring sin upon Him meaning that you have to rebuke him in a nice way to show him the right direction or show her the right direction keep calm keep be collected and show things in a nice way but at the same token we can never forget that there's a time and a place for everything after this we see that it says about the wise person he discusses first things first last things last about some things he has not heard he says I have not heard and he acknowledges the truth and the reverse is for the foolish person all of these things add up with one major conclusion hasem not only wanted to show is that this wicked person Haman and this wicked King aash are fools but he's going to he wanted to show that he is in absolute control and he's going to use their own words against them because we find out at at the end of the magila when Esther after praying very hard and getting the entire nation to do chuva and fasting for three days which is the reason why many people actually this week for years fast 3 days for Generations fast 3 days instead of only one one day which is going to be Wednesday but the the fast on Wednesday is the one that we have to do not necessarily the three days unless you can do it but we see that after she fasted after everybody did chuva after everybody asked for Hashem to please please help us that hasem provides the Cure before the ill this very event at the beginning of the whole mea is the secret of how Hashem provided the Cure before the illness by using h to say to listen you shouldn't ask for any any advisor anything when the time came and EST told listen there's a person that's trying to uh kill me he's trying to kill my people and he said who and she told him it's h said hang him right away he didn't ask any advises why because of the very same law that ham suggested to do so we see that sometimes we question hashm where are you hashm where are you hhm where are you hashm how come you're not here today how come you not how come this deal didn't go through how come my wife is not happy with me how come my kids are failing at school where's the Miracles how come I'm not feeling good sometimes we go through trouble not because hem wants to torture us but he wants to show us that we have to use those experiences number one to connect to him and number two to see his miracles right in front of our eyes because he already provided us the miracle before we even knew that there was a problem may continue to bless you and we'll talk again tomorrow
