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
