what it's going to look like as a sashem okay so we have a very important topic today on uh miguelas Esther actually I was at a brist this morning and the moyo came over to me and he asked you know he has a question on the Magilla he's asked many many people and he doesn't have a satisfying answer I said okay with that introduction uh let's give it a shot so he said you know the whole Magilla Esther whatever you want I'll give you anything you want the only thing I can't give you is I can't give you the temple okay and then all of a sudden Haman is knocked off and he says to her Esther whatever you want what happened with that that old rhetoric it's gone it's out the window I don't how did how did he just change on a dime the whole megilla he's willing to give her anything except for the base of miktash and all of a sudden now hamun is gone and he's happy to give her the basement I mean how did he just turn on a dime like that I said look you caught me with the right question I think uh we I have some very nice information about that and then I decided you know what let's talk about that subject this morning so I want to share with you this morning 10 questions on Magilla sister and the good news is even though there are 10 questions all you have to do is give one answer um all we have to do is offer one answer so here it goes so the plastic says like this is by the way um if you say why do I keep on leaning first of all I like to Lane you know I also I'm allowed to have some fun but you know last night I went to a vart and I met a RAV and he told me that his kids listen to the shoe room and then when I came to speak by the rough shul the kid asked tati is he gonna Lane so you know even though I was thinking of stopping laning when I heard that I decided that I have to continue laning because uh maybe somebody he likes to the tame hamikra anyway here's the thing the plastic says that uh the king says to Esther what would you like up to half of the Kingdom and the gemara darshans base he's only going to give her up to half the kingdom not the whole Kingdom the Lord so the gamardashians not something that splits the kingdom in half um what is that Binion base the building of the temple the building of the Temple now as sylvanus and I want to present the question as follows had no has no idea who this woman is he doesn't think that she's Jewish I mean if he thought she was Jewish that would be a scandalous he keeps on asking her tell me who are you Lord Esther doesn't spill the beans out of church has no idea who she is now who did akashers think she was I would say very simply that you know why did Haman never suspect who Esther was based on the gemara that um but here certainly says Esther found favor in everyone's eyes to every individual Esther appeared like a member of his Nation for each to each person Esther thought that she was one of them so the Chinese thought she was Chinese Japanese thought she was Japanese North Koreans thought she was North Korean and Haman thought she was an amalekia that's why Hama never suspected she was Jewish so I would add whatever thought she was a Persian s thought she was Persian Ah that's why actors never suspected she was a Jew so I have a question he's marrying a nice Persian girl he says she has a request he says honey whatever you want just not the base hamiktash where did akashers get this ludicrous idea that his wife who in as far as he's concerned is a Persian would want to ask for the base to make Dutch I mean that's like saying I'll give you whatever you want just not the pun of Vegeta I mean he's talking to a Persian woman why would she ask for the base time that is question number one question number two Rabbi Sai is the question that we started off with um the entire megillah she's busy with not the base I make Dash not the base I make Dash whatever you want not the base of mcdosh and the moment that Haman is hanged drops the whole base amiced us hang up he's not hung up about the base of mcdosh anymore he says now whatever you want um whatever you want seemingly by the end of the story has flip-flopped and now he's willing to build the base of make Dash I don't understand this guy he's out of his mind the whole Story I mean how does he start off the part the story the story of the Magilla begins celebrating the Eternal ruin otherwise he's busy telling her but not the base of and then Haman is hanged and he flip-flops and he forgets about it I mean this man should run for office he would be a good politician what happened to the guys out of his mind now let's start with the beginning of the story is the fun of he's making a party how long he makes the party for another seven days so he makes he's making 187 day party by the way Manas halavi says it was 192 day party yum is two days Rob him is three days so on 180 days then two days then another three days then another five eight uh then another seven days what's this man so happy about so the gemara says that Jeremiah said that noise at the end of the seven years God will remember us and lo and behold of a fella it's really amazing that is celebrating the fact that the base of miktash is not being rebuilt somebody tell me please why is the man so happy that the basic is not being rebuilt does it really interfere with his daily life if there is or is not a base of mcdosh where the Jewish people be less loyal to him of what relevance is it why would a man be so happy that the base of is not being rebuilt to the extent that he made the longest party in the history of mankind well what's wrong with him why does he why is it relevant to him that the temple is not rebuilt why is so enthused about the destruction of the base then he made a party that is question number three question number four the gamara it's number six on your sheet let's take a look we'll move this over here the camera says what is the situation about an analogous to now gets to two people one of them had a mound and one of them had a ditch the owner of the ditch said because if only I had some dirt I would pay for it the owner of the dirt said if only had a ditch I would pay to put my dirt in the ditch one day they bump into each other so the owner of the ditch said the owner of the amount sell me your dirt said I don't need to sell it to you just take it off my hands so too akazures had a problem with the Jews he had too many Jews Haman wanted to kill the Jews so he would pave sohaman tells I'll pay you for the rights to kill the Jews says do me a favor keep the money and get them off my hands why did akha Church want to kill the Jews he had no intention of ridding the world of North Koreans of Armenians of Africans why is akashirosh such an anti-semite how might I understand he's an amaleki it's in his blood it's in his DNA that church is a Persian what do the Persians have against us that you know what just get him off my hands do me a favor I'm not interested in them I mean isn't that Bizarro why would why would akashvirosh hate I mean he's the king of the world if he's going to start Exterminating nationalities it's not going to be uh his mouth will not last long especially in light of the fact that his own father was the one who gave permission to the Jewish people to rebuild the base hamikdash so why why does he hate the Jews and we'll add to the question question number five the Jews were very loyal to him they were loyal Servants of the Persian kings Daniel grew up was groomed in the Palace of Courage other officers of the king were all the attendance of Yehuda and they were all loyal and they had no deceit and there were no imperf imperfection and they were trustworthy we know Danielle Michelle loved Jews so much he was the one who gave permission to rebuild the second Mesa mikdash so in light of the fact that the Jewish people were especially loyal to akashviraj why did akashurs hate them and now we encounter another very unusual phenomenon namely it says that what did Mordecai do with his Newfound gedula um ruled over the Jews just like a king wears royalty and robes Mordechai wore robes just like a king wears a crown Mordecai Warrior Crown just like a king instills inspires fear Mordechai inspired fear just like a king men's coins Mordechai minted coin what was mordechai's coin his coin was Mordechai on one side Esther on the other side question why did Mordecai want to be a king why would why would make Mordechai King I don't you know that's really strange imagine if someone saves the life of the president would the president say okay you saved my life I'm gonna let you run uh draw I'm gonna let you fly in the air force one I'm gonna let you ride in my motor uh uh transportation and not only that I'm gonna let you give the presidential address imagine if you know you turn on uh to hear State of the Union Address and who is it some some no-name guy what are you doing oh I I saved the king I saved the president so I'm giving the State of the Union Address I mean this I'm sure it's just very bizarre ideas it's very nice he wants to reward someone for saving his life but why make Mordecai a king I could think of many ways to reward someone cut him a check give him a gift certificate let him I don't know what why me let why have him mint coins I mean isn't that unusual so question number six is why did make Mordechai a king question number seven so Esther says you know I have a great idea it's yours turns to Esther and he says in number 11 Vietnam question all of a sudden when I after there's one to exterminate and annihilate the Jewish people yesterday he was Hitler and today oh you're a Jew I love the yiddulillah they're so zease they're so cute they're so honest I want to do business with them I want to promote them I don't understand the day before he was setting up concentration camps to eradicate the Jewish people and all of a sudden today he's the Jewish people's best friend I mean this guy needs serious psychiatric assistance I never in my life saw somebody more foreign excuse the expression I'm not even going to say it I mean he cannot make up his mind yesterday yesterday he wants to annihilate the Jewish people today do whatever you want so what exactly changed what is this newfound sudden love for the Jewish people question number eight the gemara tells us on the pasok at the end of mcgillisaster [Music] most people like Mordechai why that's as good as you're gonna get if you're a rabbi and uh that's pretty good he's on top of the world however the gemara darshans not everyone liked him some of the Sanhedrin separated from him why because he was involved in ascanos saving lives and he went down in madriga the question is what Mordechai saves the Jewish people and now the good Island don't like him so ravianas and ibiscuits explains as follows that Mordecai as mentioned became a melach and because he make he became a melach as mentioned he was minting coins that you cannot be a member of the Sanhedrin if you're a melach and therefore the Sanhedrin separated from him but the question is so then why would Mordecai want to be a melach why did Mordechai put himself in a situation where he sort of disqualifies himself as a member of the Sanhedrin foreign I mean The Story Goes there are moisture findings inside the bracha didn't want to have a certain pacemaker put in because he was afraid it would render him about Mom and then he wouldn't be able to be part of the Sanhedrin so why would Mordechai allow himself and assume the role of melach and he's no longer qualified to serve on the Sanhedrin we know why did Mordechai accept that role question number eight and question number nine did anyone here ever see I know many of you have good Island pictures I have good on pictures behind me you have ramosha and Yosef but I would never give you this to see the other pictures in my office maybe I'll I'll let you see one day I have a picture of kaim kaneevsky on the left wall straight ahead I have rabavadya I have Reva Victor Miller I have Ravena I have a lot of good Island pictures but the question is Rabbi Sai do you have Rashad in pictures yeah I want to know if you have a Roshan picture collection so I can't tell you whether I have a pictures of Roshan but I have seen what Hammond looks like on all the cartoons Haman is an ugly guy he he's in he's just not a nice looking dude he has a long uh nose everybody knows that Haman had a very long nose and he had like a triangular head that's why he wore that hamantasian hat and he just not was was not a pleasant guy I mean I I hate to say this you know he just I don't like to be negative but hamon was not a good looking person and why did Arkansas like the man the man was Sinister he was filthy he was Sly he was slimy why did akashish like this guy what was this relationship that officers had with him and why did actors like come on second in command I mean not only did he like him he took off his ring and he gave him in his ring why would ahazarus give a sleazy guy like ham on his tabas what did upstairs need him for absurd needed Haman abscess is the king of the world what does he need Haman for and more and finally Rabbi Sai the possible by the way this is a creek sieve it's kasiv as but it's [Laughter] always start off his discussion on the Magilla from here instead of Haman who is the Cyprus this is Mordechai who is instead of the sir pad who is vashti who burnt rafida space Hashem this is Esther the sadakis who's called Hadassah am La shame and it was a name for godzu mikra megilla God made a name for himself through the reading of the megillah question really God made a name of his uh for himself through reading the megala oh probably in the megala God's name appears many many many times if God made a name for himself with micro Magilla and what do you know sure enough the book with which God made a name for himself his name doesn't appear what's going on over here if you would have told me God made a name for himself with kaihelas with acha with Russ I could understand but the worst book to choose to say that God made a name for himself is micro Magilla how did God make a name for himself with micro Magilla some of rabbis I want to share with you the approaches the Great rosh hashiva Bal darshan author of yaraisdavash on Miguel ass Esther and gar Sebastian is a collection of his drushos but much of the safer is about Miguel assessor and masakis Magilla and we know that on that fateful night that Church could not sleep he was having a dream and in his dream he sees Haman taking a sword to kill him and he suddenly awakens and he tells his scribes bring the book of remembrance to read to see what it says in it and they opened up the book and they found the matter that Mordechai save the King's life and he never repaid him we see that the kings were very attuned to their halamis however of Jonathan ibischitz reveals that if you look in the ancient works of History especially especially Josephus it was common practice that there was one thing that Kings always wanted to know and this is something that always was a source of Stress and Anxiety to Kings and that is they always wanted to know who will be the next king because how could they have any Manuka how could they have any how could their Throne be established if in the back of their mind well maybe some will assassinate them maybe someone has their eyes on the throne and sure enough communicated with his that the next King of Persia will be a Jew and this scared The Living Daylights out of because how could he sit comfortably on his throne knowing that the Jews somehow will assassinate him and they will appoint the next king and he figures to himself what will happen the Jews will rebuild the base of mikdash they'll rebuild the Temple and they will gain World dominion and then the melach Israel will rule over Persia so while Haman hated the Jews inherently as a true anti-semite he recognized what the like Hitler what the Jew represents in the world that we we are the conscience of the world Hashem just uh gave me a Matana you know I was speaking to the Mayo this morning at the bris and I asked the Mayo what's the Indian like Zoo Tyra Zoo in what way was the Bismillah restored to the Jewish people because of the Purim story was Mila restored to Jewish people do we find anywhere that Haman was specifically connected the brismila we know that amalek in general in bashalach they were zarak Milas but where do we find Haman was against brismillah the answer is Haman was like the father head of Germany of all anti-semites of Hitler and we know Hitler claimed that the Jewish people inflicted two imperfections of the world on the world the brismilah was the imperfection of the body and the conscience was the imperfection of character and he said we're going to free the world from the imperfection of the Jew because we Germans we are barbarians without conscience and we will revert back to being barbarians when we eradicate the Jewish people so the same way Hitler was against the Mila apparently Haman was also against the Mila in any event like a good anti-semite Hitler wanted to eradicate the Jewish people had his own agenda he didn't hate the Jewish people inherently but through witchcraft he understood the Jewish people will usurp his throne so in order to ensure and assure the permanence of his throne he wanted to make sure the Jews would never rebuild the base hamiktash because if they have no Temple then God's Throne is incomplete if God's thrown is incomplete that means there's no malchus for Israel and his Marcus will be eternal codifies Us in the very beginning of that upon entry into the land of Israel were commanded to do three things to appoint the king to destroy our Malik to rebuild the base of mcdosh which implies we cannot rebuild the base how mikdush so long as I'm Alex in the world so elevates promotes Haman not because he likes Haman he's despises Haman he understands Haman is a evil Sly Slick slimy deceitful long-nosed ugly man but so long as humon is around the Jews can't build the base hamiktas and the more Haman is promoted the more he diminishes and the more he diminishes the possibility of malchus Israel so he didn't like come on Haman was just his Assurance to maintain his maluka that's why he promoted Haman that's why he made Haman malach because the more elevated the more likely the temple will never be rebuilt the more likely his makhis is established he saw business the next King of Persia will be a Jew so in order to protect himself he said okay Esther I don't know who you are what you are but I will give you anything but nobody's touching my mouth and therefore there never will be a base and why does he want to kill the Jews he doesn't hate the Jews inherently he's just worried based on his news briefing and his report that the next King of Persia will be a Jew so the only way to assure his continuity is eradicating the Jewish people so Haman looked at us like a ditch like a hole inherently lacking looked at us like a mound he understood our greatness but our greatness was getting in the way of his greatness so he wants to kill the Jews not that he didn't trust us he knew we were loyal to him but as far as he's concerned our destiny and his destiny clashed but we all know that even though he was attempting to eradicate the Jewish people in order to ensure his continuity but we know that when there is a sign in the astrological Stars that something will happen you cannot completely cancel the it's possibility of coming to fruition like when power is so in his dream Paris saw there was blood in store for the Jewish people in the mid bar of course that referred to the damila paroi Soto referred to the annihilation of the Jewish people in the mid bar but that blood had to come out in some way or in some form so also recognized that that if in his astrological sign he saw the next King of Persia would be a Jew in a way there's no way around it so he had a great idea he had an infow he said maybe I could fulfill the bring the dream to fruition by making for a day if Mordechai is king for a day and he rides the Royal Horse and he wears the Royal garment and he mints coins so then the dream that the next King of Persia will be a Jew it will be fulfilled to some extent through this one day in the Sun that I'm giving Mordechai because he was still afraid then in the back of the mind this dream has to come to fruition in some way shape or form and that's the reason since we'll be honest and ivishits why promoted it says on that fateful day when Esther said so who are you what are you and she says you're a Jew I never knew you were a Jew well if you're a Jew then our kid Darius he's also a Jew oh so the next King of Persia could be my son and could be a Jew and it's not a threat to me I'm no longer threatened by the premonition of the dream that the next king of prayers will be a Jew okay I never liked tommen anyway he has a long nose he looks like an ugly dude he's slimy he's grimy he's deceitful I can't trust him with a penny I don't like him anyway I only liked him because it suited my agenda but I was mistaken from the beginning I thought the Jews would usurp my Throne I never knew you were a Jew and I didn't know my kid was a Jew now my kid is a Jew ish I could have nice he'll be the next King of Persia and uh Persia everything will be hunky-dory so that's why I could just didn't hate the Jewish people but at them it wasn't inherent it's only that our grander was getting in the way of his Destiny but now that he realizes Haman wanted to kill us but Esther was a Jew and his kid was a Jew and his kid will be the next one in line in the throne the Mela he has nothing to worry about says that is how Hashem made a name for himself with micro Magilla namely that so long as I'm Malik is in the world God's name is diminished is mitigated but Malik is destroyed then the kise is fulfilled and the name of Hashem is the shlemus and the Hashem La shame Zoo mikra megilla so we asked why does akashir start off the party celebrating why does the story begin that because celebrating that debate something shall never be rebuilt why does alcohol Church cure to make some English as we built or not the answer is meant Jewish autonomy Jewish sovereignty Jewish monarchy and ultimately his downfall because of his dream so he when the seven years are up and the base of English is not rebuilt he's celebrating the establishment and the and these Solid Ground that his mouth is based upon and that's why we asked so on why he wanted to kill the Jews because they were getting in his way even though typically they were loyal to him it wasn't a matter of loyalty it was a matter of his Destiny and that's why he made Mordechai a king for a day to fulfill the dream that the next King of Persia would be a Jew in some small measure and that's why suddenly when he realized his own kid was a Jew he loved the Jews and this explains why how uh the king made Haman King the second in command because the more elevated amalek is the less likely impossible it is for the base of mcdosh ever to be destroyed and that's why Always mentioned to Esther I'll give you whatever you want but not the base tamiktas not that he suspected that she would ask for it but it was important for him to let let it know he was basically saying I'll give you whatever you want but I am not jeopardizing in any way any thing that will threaten my throne and that which threatens my Throne more than anything else is Binion based on mcdush but once Haman reveals himself that I'm sorry once Harmon is hanged and Esther reveals herself so he's done with this rhetoric about he'll never rebuild the basement now he has no problem rebuilding based on mcdosh now we understand why Mordecai wanted to be a melach rabbi Sai as the ramam says three things were commanded upon entry Terrace Israel to establish a Melech to destroy our molec and to rebuild the base of so Mordechai understood in order to destroy our Malik he has to have the status of being a melach so he minted coins and it was kadai for Mordechai to assume the role of melach to destroy amalek even at the expense of no longer being able to be part of the Sanhedrin by the way RAV David Teva says that the reason why the second base amigdash lacked five things that the first place had it didn't have the urum the tumim it didn't have the urine it didn't have the is it didn't have the shrina it didn't have you know I was lacking in these things especially srina because in order to build a base to make this you need to destroy Amma Lake in order to destroy ammo Lake you need to have a dinner and David that really had the full status of Melech were able to destroy our Malik as much as humanly possible and they were able to have the kadusha of a mikdush as much as possible however however Mordecai was not a full King it was King for a Day it was appointed by akashviraj it wasn't bishlamas so since his malchus was lacking his ability to destroy a Malik was lacking the status of the second Mason was lacking so answering our 10 questions in order why would our concerns why does actors have to keep on saying I'm not going to build the base of mcdosh because the base of migdash is a thorn in his mouth it stops him he was worried having a base of English meant that one day his mouth would cease that's why after Esther reveals herself he no longer says anything about the basement and that's why actors is happy in the beginning of the story question number three what that the base of English is not built because it's not built that means his mouth will last longer that's why he wants to kill the Jews question number four why they stood in the way of his sovereignty en especially in even though they were always loyal to him nevertheless they were a thorn in a side question number six why make Mordechai a king to fulfill in some measure the dream question number seven why did he suddenly love the Jews the answer is he never really hated us intrinsically it's just that he was threatened by us that threat ceased when he realized his own son was a Jew that is why Mordecai wanted to be the king in order to destroy amalek that was question number eight question number nine the re why did Astros make come on because promoting amalek meant that the miktash would not be rebuilt and of course La shame through the reading of micro Magilla even though God's name is not mentioned we destroy amalek and we fulfill we are mashlim the name of Hashem hopefully next week Monday uh China says so we could get together uh briefly wishing everyone a wonderful week have a good day that was like a real puzzle solver thank you thank you you've just experienced
