Incredible LAST chapter in Megillat Esther reveals PreMessianic Days

Today's I thought since it's now I thought maybe we'll discuss certain aspects of hashem I don't know how you feel but I very often feel once pim has ended and you finish the suda and you bench you turn around and you say what happened here what happened to purim what did I do what did I think how did I grow and What way did I change maybe such an incredibly important day purim and you feel maybe in some ways you got so much involved with your shakmanas with the suda and the noise of hmon during the migill as well what happened to it you almost you almost feel some way you lose purim what happened all the raz and all the excitement and the celebration did I even did I touch the pulse did I put finger on the pulse and I alert to what purim was all about in some ways it's hard because it's one day and you only have the migilla twice you don't have a migill even you don't have a you have a migilla just at night in the morning you don't have it three times and you notice by shabas we say mashabas per 92 of three times no you say it something which is said three times already maybe makes a certain kazok with you it it binds you to it much more if we have the y for example halal halal is said many many times eight days of pesak and simile of sukus and also kanek as well eight days of whole of halah After you say hello once or twice after it gets into you and you understand what you're saying here that there's more to work on kdes on shabas you say kdish shabas maybe is easier because shabas comes every single week but something which is repeated multiple times makes much of an impression on you therefore maybe that's the reason why at the end of every prayer every meaning we're not We're not like that. We have a different in life, a different portion in life. Therefore, our question is how can I hold on to purim? What can I take out of purim? In some ways, I suppose it would be better maybe if you compare it maybe to other single days which tishab tishab is one day but you don't lose tishab sitting on the floor and you have the nine days and the three weeks beforehand. Of course, you understand what tishab is on. You get the point of the morning of the basikdash. It's very hard to lose that. No, take one day. Yumipa has a buildup after the 10 days of penitence. Then you come afterwards. Of course you understand standing there and dabbing being like a malik. Of course you get the point. It's one day. One day is also one day but is a yont of know you have cheesecake and you have it. It's missing in some way. If I can say such a thing if you'll excuse me. How can I hold on to it? You don't have an ateras. There's an after pes and sukus there's another day the niv explained in a beautiful way the meaning of is that hold on wait a minute stop where you are don't go home after after you've been on the b wait another day and think about what you saw what did you see what did you learn from by watching the kanim watching the avoid looking at the fire on the misbear there's something which you must think about before you go home don't run home straight away there's No for there would be one and that's our problem that we have. You can sometimes feel that I lost it. The day went past I was busy with Shakmanas. I was busy with the Suda. I was busy with giving out stock. Um and but you you don't touch the day. I'm suggesting that's one of the problems we have. There's a beautiful gumar gamma says in migilla that asks the question why don't we say halal on purim? Why don't we read? And the gumar answers reading the migill is the hal of purim meaning we instead of saying we read the migill in reality there's a sh which is asked which I saw in the writings of if you want to look as the following question what happens if you don't have a migilla Esther can you say hal according to the you can you can So we substitute you don't have a migilla so you can say halal instead but we don't pasan like that the is not like that we say that if you haven't got a migill you can't meet you can say hal certainly it's to heal him but it won't count it won't serve it won't serve the purpose you have to have a migilla only the reading of the migill will be the hal of it because all the events of purim are inside the migilla and therefore halal is not enough answers in a wonderful why is that every other miracle the clouds and of the oil. They were all which were revealed. Since they were revealed miracles, therefore you have a revealed praise, a revealed halal expressions of revealed revealed thanks revealed expression of thanks. Now purim itself is very nister purim itself is very very hidden. You might go through the whole of purim and be you hear it in all the banging but you don't get the point. There's a beautiful question which is asked by the voice. He asked as far as the asks after reading the you don't turn around and say after reading after lighting the candles be the Greeks. So why is it after reading the Gil you have to say why do you say that? What's the purpose behind it? says the the balas as follows. You might miss the point. You might lose the whole point. You know why Esther succeeded? Because Esther had a pretty face and a fell in love with her. It was so happened that Morai was standing there when he heard big son and Serish plotting the the assassination attempt on the king. No, you might say that it so happens that um Morai was Ham was standing outside the room when when after the dream everything can be so happened. No. And you can say everything is coincidental and it's happens chance. You miss the point. You miss the point completely. The point is that you have to say clear there's something which is hidden here which you must see. You must see behind it all. Says that is the point here. You have to have a halal which is hidden as well. Now the migilla matches what happened in purim because every event was hidden and the migilla is hidden as well and therefore the halal is a crea looking deeper and understanding further then you'll understand what pim is all about. Halal itself which we say is only for a revealed miracle. It's not there for something like purim and therefore it's not a match. It doesn't fit. It's not a partnership. You have to take mill which matches a hidden a hidden day a day of hidden miracles. Therefore we can understand a little bit more. May the question is so so how do we get hold of poem? How do we possibly come out with some sort of aderis? We don't have halal and we don't have uh milla three times you have it twice. Maybe we can take the point even further how relevant it is to take something out of of purim and take walk away with something. Esther at the end of the migilla turned around and said to the Sanhedrin, "Write me down for all generations. I'm relevant and I have a lesson to teach for all generations." Boy said that means our times as well in the times of 2026 as well for all generations of kalisam. Esther told us that there's a relevance and there are lessons to be taken out even during the time of the mashia before Mashiah comes along. Take it further inash. There we have again. No, that Yeshua which came out from Purim is for eternity. And therefore we must turn around and say what is it? How can we hold on to what can we take out of Purim that will give us something that we can hold on to? No, because we have to according to Esther it's for all especially for the times of the Msiah. There's a glimpse of the Mashiach inside the the migilla. We must pull that out as well. In some ways, we might turn around and say that poem is a dress rehearsal for the gulan. No, if that's what we're saying, it's relevant lonets for all times. Where can we find it? How can we merely point our finger on something which will give us the source of why we can hold on to poem? I was thinking maybe like this lani there is a kazal which says yim kapurim is like yum kipa meaning there are certain qualities which purim has which yam kipa has which is like purim meaning yam kipa as we know is a very significant day a day and you come out with chu with repentance at the end a different person is supposed to be the same but in what way theodka once mentioned And there's a difference between them. Yum kipa begins with a suda a banquet beforehand. Every yam kip you eat and then it ends with a tarnis with a fast. Pim is quite opposite. P begins with a fast and ends with a bank with a banquet at the end. It's the other way round. You have tarnis Esther and then you come into the banquet. Meaning in some ways perhaps it's a real turned inside out. It's also turned inside out. Instead of having a banquet first and then a tanis and you come out with chuva this way you have a fast first tanis esta and then you come into the banquet and you're supposed to come out with chuva as well and the day is profound the day is unbelievably important how can we hold on how can we snatch how can we possess some sort of kin from in what way can we use the moshel of yum kip for poem I was thinking maybe in this possible way if you'll follow my suggestion When it comes to onamif it's the time of kabalis a person takes upon himself I must be more careful how I talk to my parents I have to be more careful what I say in public I have to be more careful maybe I giving my dabbing a person stands there in the as the gates are closing and you turn around and say to yourself how can I posit what can I take on myself it's a time of his of renewal of understanding of trying inspiration trying to find ways in which you can take a cabola That's the nature of nila. Maybe also there's a of the migilla. I'd like to suggest the nila of the migill where you take is the last chapter. The last per is the kabalas also for the migill. I want you to suggest the following way. Meaning even though chapter 10 per yud in the migill is very short it's three sentences. Lan diet I would like to suggest there are inside it unbelievable lessons which we can take which will serve us very well during the times of the exat of Mashik in the days which we're going through in the days of tremendous chaos and confusion the times which we're going through now there is a full-scale rehearsal for the Mashiach inside these last three sentences therefore what I'd like to do if you possibly take a mus out I'd like to learn through with you these three sentences and take several lessons which we can build on and take it and therefore that will for is we make certain resolutions. I'm going to be more careful where I put my eyes what I see, more careful of my damning. You take I'm suggesting meaning is like there are also aspects of renewal which we can take out and they all are in the of the end of the migill. Take a look in the migilla. Take the first pause and the king levid attacks alit and in all the islands where he possessed. Interesting the go says the gumatri of mass and ea is 127 on all his 127 provinces he put attacks on them. Why did he put attacks after hearing all the migilla? This happened the year after the events when hman was taken away the year later. Why did he do that? And the medish explains, hazal explained that when Akash was asking Esther, where do you come from? Which nation are you? He wanted to find favor in her eyes, he wanted her to to to appreciate him. So he reduced the tax by all the provinces and therefore he lost a great deal of money. The government lo the treasury lost a great deal of money. So now that he discovered that Esther was from Kalisell, now I know now I can bring back the tax. that deduction which I lost in money now I can take it back and the money which I I can regain I can take it back and therefore the treasury can now gain my executer can grow because of it meaning I now know where Esther comes from and therefore the tax is now relevant I can put it back that is the basic understanding of what it means here in this posh perhaps we can take a little bit further a little bit deeper and there is I think a tremendous lesson here which we can take out from Mahesush there are really two protagonists two personalities two profiles in this prim first is Akash and then we come on to Morai let's take a little bit deeper a little bit further you'll see what I mean the banquet which akashes had made 12 years earlier in order to show off his tremendous power and his splendor of the glory of his kingdom as we know 180 days and then he invited for seven days he invited all the common folk inside uh Shushan to come to his banquet as well learn out the reason why there was an ulterior motive behind it not just to gain faith with everybody but for the following reasons. At the banquet alashesh pulled together all the ministers from all the 127 promises and he said boy we have a serious problem. The Jewish problem is a problem. What can we do about the Jewish people? Meaning he was very concerned that the Jews are so powerful. The Jews are spread about he wanted to remove all the the statement all the the um profile of whatever the Jewish people are inside his midiness but he was worried about the Jewish problem. Hmon was there. Hmon was there inside the banquet and came up with the following idea. He said, "Your majesty, you have to be careful and be aware." Why? Because the god of the Jews is very, very powerful. Look what happened to parro, the 10 plagues, the crossing of the Red Sea. Look what happened. You can't fight the god of the Jews. You can't fight them. It won't work. But what you can do, and this was the cunning and the sinus of of of Hmon, he suggested as follows. What you can do is you find a way in which they will lose favor and lose grace in the eyes of the almighty of the Jewish god and then the work will be done for us and therefore invite all the Jews to the banquet make sure they get involved with the food with the drink and the immorality as well we can entice them then the the god of the Jews will lose favor with them and for that the job will be done we'll be able to take over a loved idea hmon suggested this at the banquet and therefore that was the reason why the second banquet was made for all the residents of bring all the Jews together. Let them drink. Let them enjoy. Let them have fun and more fun and more fun and enjoy the food. Enjoy the drink and also the immorality as well which was enticement around. Once we've done that, the problem is solved for us. It's done by them not by us. And Akash loved the idea and that was the idea behind it all. As you know Vashi was taken away and Esther became the queen and that was the result of it. What happened as it but Akash knew all that. He remembered all this what happened 12 years ago. He must have remembered the plot of assassination against him by big son and Serge and Mai how the Jew had discovered it and his name was written down in the chronicles. He knew all that. Then Hmon came forward with his decree against the Jews because Modai would not bow down to him. He remembered all that. He wasn't a fool. He remembered what happened. Meaning as follows came around and said to wipe them out completely, annihilate them and take all their property. agreed with it all. He gave his signate ring and he said, "Take the money, do whatever you can with it." The gamma in McGill Dafudg brings an anal analogy to what Hmon and Akash were like, a beautiful mosh. Two farmers having a drink in a pub. Two of them drinking together. One farmer turns around and says, "You know, I have a tremendous hill in the middle of my my my fields. I can't do anything with it. I can't plant anything because the hill is in the middle disturbing it all." Said the other farmer, you know, I have a similar problem. I have a problem with tremendous ditch in one of my fields. I can't plow there cuz the ditch is so great. It's a mosh in the gum. So they have to decide one second let's make a deal between take your hill and put it in my ditch. My land will be flat and your land will be flat. We solved the problem. That is the difference between Hash. Who is Hmon and who is Akash? The hill you can see from a distance. Hmon is the hill. You can see him from afar. He was an anti-semite. You can recognize him. When you come to the ditch, when you go up close, you suddenly realize who is there. Meaning Akash is close up you discover Akashro was just as bad as Roman but he was the ditch. Meaning they were in it together completely in it together. And for sure Akash remembered all this when it came to the end of he knew what was going on. He knew the episode when he couldn't sleep one night and Mai was taken in and Hmon his buddy had to take him around on a horse and he knew all that. He was aware of everything at all. He was aware and remembered how Esther came in. She begged for her people and then eventually Esther made a banquet and at the banquet Hmon was there at the banquet as well and Akash went out of the room and came out into enter the garden the kazal say beautiful med there wonderful I love this story he came out in the garden and he saw all his tulips and his orchids being cut down a said what's happening here why are you ruing my garden so the gardeners who are actually all malim angels turned around hmon told us to do it he came in furious he came in and saw h on top of a mala bab taking my wife take him off and kill him and hang him up and he was hung with his 10 sons but boy hold on one minute there's a certain crescendo which you must come to here after all that akashed heard he knew the episode of the G he knew everything was going he knew about he certainly knew about Mod standing there and praying and all the great assemblies he wasn't blind deaf and dumb the man knew what was going on if he knew what was going on what happened here after all these events and he sees the immense miracles which happened that the Jewish people were saved and They went out and caused battle and fought against the enemies of the Jewish people. He knew all that. He knew what was going on. Was there no impression whatsoever left on Akash? There's only one impression which turned out at the end of the migilla. What is that? Four letters gel t guilt money. Let's get the money back. That's all there was. My boy say there wasn't a shadow or a glimmer of a inside heard about heard about. He heard about the events. That's it. I'm finished. He reacted positive and spontaneously. I'm going out to meet my son-in-law in the midb. He reacted. He heard the news and he made an impression on him. Afashish had no impression whatsoever. All a thought about let's get the money back in. That's all there was. Cana from the beginning of the migilla to the end. All he was interested in is the money. Let's get the money back. Such an incredible weak bisus. Such a low level of a person being no no influence whatso there's no hashba whatsoever on him at all. He remained the same person. There are some people when the age of 17 18 they dream of becoming a millionaire. When they get to the age of 18 they're still dreaming of being they never move on. They never had any feeling further than that. Their life just never changed. They remained all the same. Of all the events which happened in their life, nothing made the change with them. Nothing happened with them. All they were interested is in money. Money from the beginning. Money. Money makes the world go around nothing else. Isn't that one of the maladies that we have in the times of the mash? There's tremendous affluence and people are able to make a tremendous amount of money just by pressing a button on a computer if you're careful and you're wise and you know how to do it. You can make a tremendous amount of money. Money is available. No tremendous welfare is around. All you have to do is look for the money. That's all. Nothing else. They never change. They never move on. It's a tragedy. No, not to move on. I was talking to a friend here in Mat. She was telling me about his father. He went to visit his father who was in a nursing home, an elderly man. I said, "What does your father do all day?" He said, "My father plays bridge all day long." All at the age of 85, 90 or something, an old man still playing bridge. Come on, there's more to life than that. Did nothing ever make an impression was in no way changed. All it was was money, guilt, nothing else more than that. And therefore what we're learning from here is in in Israel they call it something called adishot apathy you don't care all you're worried about nothing makes an impression on you that's one of the great tragedies and therefore the lesson in the time of mashik is to take some a lesson from it I mean something like this raises there was a famous rebbitson in kalisilk called rebbitson Judith Gunfeld she once gave a share and explained as follows and said that what we have to do in our mind imagination is as follows Everything that happened in Awitz, all the ashes which came out and Belson and Trebinka all the ashes came up and that is the beginning of the foundations of the Mir Yeshiva of Lakewood yeshiva of Ponovich of Brisque all the yeshivas someone drew a painting I saw the painting based on this year all the ashes go up and you see the ashes going into Ponovich going into Mia going into Lakewood going into all the different yeshivas their sacrifice led to something boy 80 years ago or so Khalis So lost we lost 6 million yen. Does it not make an impression on us? We must make some sort of don't we realize what happened here? The enormous self-sacrifice which was made. The Jews gave their lives up and there for 80 6 million Jews is enormous a number. It must make an impression on us. You can't remain indifferent to a situation though. This June everybody went to bed here and it's no one knew what was going on but evidently there was enormous how many? Three or 400 I don't know how many 400 missiles came over and nothing made nothing hit. It must make an impression. You can't remain apathetic. You can't remain. Something must happen. Something must move you a little bit more and take you a little bit further. Where does it come out? It comes out in your prayers. No. When you say in the morning, thank you. I can stand up straight. In the close which I have when you say these words and the requests that you make when it comes to there must be something when you say the words maid there must be some feeling. Thank you Hashem. Remember I gave you perhaps a suggestion how to have cavana in maidim. A few weeks ago we thought of the idea maybe that before you begin midm close your eyes and breathe in [snorts] and think of something very personal which you want to say thank you do it about two or three times and then say midim and you flood your mind with an appreciation. Something must make an impression on you. That is the problem here in the times of the mashia. There's so much going on. The chaos and the confusion, but the miracles which are happening though, the disaster, the tragedy of October the 7th, but the miracles which have happened since then, the hostages came out and those who who changed their lives because of it. These hostages change their lives because of what they went through. There must be something which triggers a response to us. That's what I'm suggesting. I remember I was once staying in uh in a home in America on I think it was late on a Thursday night and I was sitting in a house and the woman the balisab turned around to me and said to me I think it was Thursday I don't know what I do on she told me you know I'd like to tell you what happened with my sh cuz I asked her why did you you and your husband meet so she told me as follows she said her parents were very wealthy and she really could have had any sh was looking for someone who learned to and she went out with many many shid in from Aid Bahim and Ponovich the top of the best of all the best the elite of the elite the creme de la creme she could have had she told me that and every person I went out with she said it really there was nothing to them there was nothing to them they were they learned to but I didn't feel there was anything content until I went out on a shiddok she told me with a a ba from a hick town was something very nothing very special he hardly learned in yeshiva he hardly know anything at all but when I went out in a shiddok I asked him this was my question which I asked on ashid what do What do you want to do when you grow up? What do you want to look for? And he turned around and said to me, I'd like to be an Everd Hashem, a servant of the Almighty. She said, "That was for me. I'm going to marry that man." When he said that line, that was for me. The opening line. I knew that was what I'm looking for. And I made him into She told me that was the husband. You hear the point? She was influenced. It made an impression on her. All the money and everything that she had, it wasn't enough for her. When she heard those words and ever hashem, she said, "That's what I'm looking for. Someone who says that that's the person." And she married him. says I made him into it's a beautiful story to to be impacted by it to make an impression on it that's the point of one thing just guilt nothing more than guilt if I can share with you a story I think I told it previously but it's a wonderful story about the great the from Toronto it's a beautiful story told that one day one yam kipa after they finished diving after the mosha stood by the bimma and stayed and go home and a friend of his called someone called I Ra Tress who now lives in Lakewood my one of my children live near him in Lakewood he turned around and he said well Mosha what are you thinking what are you standing there for so Mosha turned around and said as follows and I've been thinking over yum kipa is there any way we can possibly help all the kim and yeshivas in they have tremendous debts how can they possibly give shuim what I'd like you to do is as follows I'm going to raise a certain amount of money I'd like you to go to and asksh if he will manage this fund, an office in Yanim and an office in Benra. And if he will manage it, he gave $80 million and raised another $30 million. So $110 million was given and all the kim and all the came in. They were fl cuz they were astonished. They walked out with their shoulders standing high. Suddenly all their debts are paid. The man was affected. I can do something for it. I can react here. I've been given funds and I can do something with my money. That's what I'm suggesting here. There was no adishut. There was no apathy from there was no adish from this woman who married thee. No, that's the point I'm making. What is the lesson we can learn from this pro? The lesson is all he was interested was money. Money nothing else. How can I get my money back? That is the first point which we take out of it. I think that's a very cardinal principle which we can take out of the migill at the end a cabala to be influenced and make an impression and it should come out in our prayers as we dam. We should feel it especially when it comes to maiden. We should express our appreciation. It should come out quite well. Take the second pos. Listen to this pos. There's a question of Dina Bransky on this pos. It's a wonderful question and all the episode and the rise to fame and the prestige of Mai and how he rose to greatness. How the king raised him and became the If you want to look them up, they're all recorded in the book of chronicles of the kings of Persia and Media. It's all been said, what do you learn from this puk? What is the lesson we can learn from this puk? Dina Bramsky asked that question. What is it? If you want to know the details, look at the book. Look up. But why aren't they inside the migilla? Said Dina Bamsky. The reason is as follows. McGillis Esther is not a history book. If you want to look for irrelevant points which aren't relevant, which you don't necessarily have to learn from, you can go and look to the central library maybe and find up in the library and book of references what happened to the rise of Morai in the kingdom of Akash in Persia and Media. But it's not really there. All you really need to know is here inside this this this migill every aspect of Modai him dabing Esther going in all the different aspects of Modai's life how he lived in Shushan. He was a Yehudi there. What does it mean? All the points which will come out in a minute. We'll see. The point is don't get caught up with irrelevant information. You only have to know what's relevant, what's pertinent. Priority is what you need to know. What you need to know is here in the migilla. Anything else is extraneous. It's not relevant. You don't need to know more than that. All the lessons are there in the migilla. History then look up in the library. Go to the library and look at the references. What rabbis I am suggesting here. What is the lesson we can take? What is the cabala? In our generation, in the times that we're going through now, there's a tremendous amount of distraction which a person can get caught out of. In the Misha, you can spend the whole day pressing buttons on an internet neb and get caught up and get into all sorts of nourish and all sorts of things. You can lose everything. If you look at the the trivialities of life, you get caught up with the trivialities, you lose it all. You're not there. No, it's a tragedy because a person can be distracted all his life. All his life he's thinking about his vacation. He's thinking about his his money. You can get distracted. Distracted by news, distracted by sport. I'm not saying these things aren't important, but they're not priority. The McGidd is telling us if you want to take all the lessons here, be careful, to be focused, make sure you're accurate and you're astute, to be aware. These are relevant lessons and anything else is irrelevant in my life. Why is it that they spend so much money on advertising the billboards? Because it works so much. If you can distract a person and take him away from his thought, you can make money from him. No, that's the reason behind it all. I was thinking in America, what is the greatest passion there in America? I once asked somebody, what is the greatest passion? So, she turned and said to me, food. Food is everything in America and money and and sales and everything like that. But people get distracted. You can spend the whole day looking for sales, looking on the internet and the whole day and looking for food as well. No, what are the English people so caught up with? No, the royal family. The whole family. What's King Charles doing? What's his wife doing? What's the family do? The whole thing. You can get caught. It's a it's a triviality. It's not important. Your whole life can be taken up. Listen to this. You know, it's what are people thinking about? I was thinking what people So people are very can we blame Natano? Is Natano praiseworthy or not praiseworthy? And the small the leftist and the the politics the tremendous politics going on in it as well. Nebuchad your your your sense of responsibility. What really you should be thinking about. That is the lesson which Dina Bamsky I think means here. The lessons are relevant and keep your mind keep focused on what's important. What's important is my connection with your might. You know what I'm doing? What are we doing with ourselves? What are we doing with our lives? That's the point behind it all. I'd like to bring to you the Rambam. The Rambam brings a point which I think is very relevant also for poem as well. Hear it out. The Rambam in giml brings as follows. Even though we duty to listen to the say there's a certain hint there's a certain illusion that you must pick up from the when you hear the wake up you from your sleeping those who are slumbering you're caught up you're caught up in all the distractions of life wake up to yourself look to see What what are you doing with your life and come back and do cha and remember your creator and these are the words of amb which you have to put on your pillow at night. These people who forget the truth in the in the trivialities you get caught up in all the in your money in your vacation in your your portfolio your clothes the sales all the things which get caught up with sport you get caught up And they get caught up all the years of their life, all the time with vanities. It won't help you. Improve yourself. No. Time will come. You know, a person will go up to shine. What do you do with your life? What do you do with all the 120 years that you have? What do you what do you have to show for it? What's what's behind it all? It's even more desperate than that. say because what's going to happen very soon shortly you'll hear the sound of the chauffeur and then what will be will suddenly be woken up good with me the mashia is here already I didn't do chuva then it'll be too late already you can't jump on the bandwagon when the mashia you have to do chuva now beforehand you have to wake up don't get caught up with trivial realities now now is the time to be clear these are my priorities and these are not my priorities and that I think is the lesson of Dina Brmsky especially in the times of exot mashik be careful be focused keep your mind focused on what there is what's important and what's not important that's I think the limit from the second let's move on to the third one the third one now we're dealing with himself giml the third kabal the first one is not just caught up in money but the other things in life not to be indifferent to other thing else the second point is be careful of trivialities of things which can distract you especially on the internet and different things which can pull you away completely from your the purpose of what you'll hear in this world. The third is like this. The Jew who was the second in command after the king. He was phenomenally powerful. The god he was very great among all the Jews. He was favored by most of his friends, his colleagues. He searched for the good of his people and he looked for peace amongst all his his family all his generation. What's going on here? What is the lesson that we learn from here? You should know about the talum goes to town on this pro about Modai. Modai was incredibly successful, unbelievably powerful. Everybody was mis says the med everybody was terrified. Mai says something, Mai does something in all the world really because as we say was he and the second in command was Mudai. He became phenomenally powerful. The medus describes him as a shooting star or the shaka the break of the dawn. Tremendous dis distinction. Everybody was enormously enamored and profound about Mai Mudra the Jew. The Brisco learns from this a beautiful nace there was a miracle behind all this. Usually when a Jew rises to such prominence what happens there's tremendous en jealousy [snorts] and enmity against the Jewish people. There was none of that afterwards. Everybody respected Morai. So the in itself is a tremendous miracle. The fact that no one no one reacted. There was no comeback. There's no boomerang effect for the great power and the prestige of Mai which is a beautiful point. That's the point behind it all. But I'd like to share with you a comment which I saw in the writings of it was his site this last week. It was he makes a beautiful point. Who was he known as the Jew? There was no embarrassment whatsoever about being the Jew. Everybody knew he was Jewish. Isn't that the lotion which we say when everybody saw the titis of everybody saw he was a very renowned orthodox Jew a very committed Jew very devoted Jew everybody saw that there was no there was no embarrassment about being Jewish and says as follows how many people are there who reach tremendous prominence and great fame but they dismissed their identity of being Jewish Mai didn't do that not by any means at all he was known as Mod Mod the Jew I was once in America and I remember seeing a book someone's house about all the immigrants who came through at Ellis Island, you know, as immigrants into America and they went down and lived on the east side and they were phenomenally poor and then in their lives they became fabulously wealthy and successful. Some became a Supreme Court justice, some became actors, some became musicians, some great scientists. Everybody came to America and the Golden Medina. No, they made it. They made it. But they didn't express themselves as being the Jewish people. Their yidden their Jewish their Yiddishkite was was hidden. No, they didn't have it. Modai was quite the opposite like this. Modai was a Jew and he was known as being the Jew and that was the greatness of Morai. He was revealed as a Jew and he stood out that he was God. He was respected by all the Jews. Everybody recognized him. Now take these two expressions. He searched for the good of his people. The ebenezra says on this puk as follows is the epitome of being kindness something like anu he didn't wait for kindness to come knocking on the door he went he was he went to search said the abenezar he was like a mo sitting waiting how can I do he searched to try and to search for the good of his fellow man which was a beautiful trait of mai he searched how to find good if you remember she I think some weeks ago we mentioned when it comes to doing a kindness to somebody Says it says as follows a person is duty bound to take all the effort and tor and to be diligent searching for the good of his fellow man that was he searched for the good he didn't wait he went out of his way to try and find a way to help people that was as follows and anybody at all he made peace with even non-Jews as well anybody he made peace with sal once commented as follows in the times of Akash many of the men was before the times of Ezra came to many many people many men married non-Jewish women the children were therefore not Jewish encouraged them as well even though they weren't necessarily Jewish the Jewish people anybody even the zer meaning the zera there is a fraction of Jewish aidkite in the person meaning the mother is not Jewish but the father was even those people he made peace with everybody he loved peace he was phenomenally successful very powerful and he used his position as a committed Jew a yhoodi giving his shu him and his devoutness he wore his titis no one no embarrassment about being a Jew but more than that he searched for the good I was thinking about say isn't that really the real dress rehearsal before the mushia. What is the reason why we don't have a bd because of who is the antithesis of this? He searched for the good to search for the good of other people and to search for the peace and make peace with the fellow men even non-Jewish people whoever they are whatever they were a human being means recognition and admiration and respect for them that was really the epitome of aasinam and maybe we can say the greatest lesson for mudra is the ava that he had the love and the care that he had and the tremendous respect as a committed Jew as a mudra in that in that capacity before we close we must mention in this phrase in the middle of this sentence. He was favored by most of his colleagues. Rashi makes a point as follows and said as follows that several people on the Sanhedrin pushed Mudai aside and demoted him in levels of importance. Why? Because he was so much involved with saving Clalis. Therefore, he wasn't so much involved in learning Torah and therefore he lost his ranking about the top people who the head of the Sanhedrin. He he fell down over Ang. He wasn't as high as that. Why? One second. Mai saved all of Kalisan. Didn't they have recognition of all that he had done? This is a very tre tremendous problem here. Here what does it mean lost his fame because lost importance because he was involved saving is everything. No. And he brings the great answers the questions in the following way. It's a beautiful statement. which is very much authentic and in a text if you look in brings down is greater than saving a life. Let's explain what that means. If you are in the middle of learning and you hear someone is drowning, of course you must stop learning and help the person. Nothing stands in the way of nephesh. But the quality of the mitzvah is not as great as the quality of the mitzvah of tam is a great is of course if you're involved with for helping out in the community and they need your help of but if you can find somebody else then let someone else do it but in reality the length and the height and the exquisitness the perfection of a mitzvah talm is greater than that and that's why not that was any way demoted it wasn't in any way um relegated No way but he was missing he wasn't involved in Torah as much as the other members of Sanin that's what it means as follows in reality Rabai if you look in the in the Bach there explains as follows Bach says purpose of is to be involved in mitzvah to such an extent that the falia the family of will be a partners of the of Maz There there should be a shut we could only do it through toyra is the elixir which makes a connection between the malim and clan is the level of the mitzvah is much greater behind it all that's the difference between not that mod is to be blamed mod was involved but the mitzvah which came along he he lost that exquisitness he lost that level of perfection he was involved in creating kalisan all kalis remain because of mod of course but as far as the quality of the mitzvah please don't misunderstand the point the quality of the mitzvah is greater entment that it is of saving of being and but the needs of community are very great. It doesn't mean he it means he wasn't entitled. He wasn't on that level of the highest level in the sanity. That's what it means. And therefore there is a issue. There is a certain settlement which we can come out from that comment of imit are the points which I'd like to bring to your attention. When it comes to we make a certain a certain renewal we change we try to move on as best we can of purim I'm suggesting is the last per has three sentences the protagonists are and the two of them together and you must take out especially the lessons are relevant for now they are the full dress rehears for the times of the glimpse of Mashiach which will come shortly We may be au in our days. The first one is don't be like a just think of guilt and nothing else but money. That's a tragedy. No, the apathy nothing. No other interests. Just money. Money is the main thing. Not like that woman who married the talashem or no person has to be involved. Has the person look to see what's going on in the world. Look to understand what happened in Europe 80 90 years ago. No. To be involved in it and to think about it and to be concerned about kisel. It comes out in your hopefully. Second pos is don't get caught up with trivialities. Dina Bram's question. If you want to look at the reference, look at the records. But you don't need to look any further. The real lessons are all inside the migilla. Anything more than that is extraneous. You don't need to look further than that. The third lesson is the greatness of Modai. He became something like a star. The the opening of the dawn. He became so incredibly famous, profound and prominence. And even the non-Jews recognized him. There was no enmity. There was no jealousy afterwards. the nature the miracle of biscarov he was always a committed Jew and this committed Jew went out of his way to search for the good of his people is the epitome of aas the opposite of is and therefore perhaps we conclude in that way the lessons of is taking us back to the time of we have made up we have renewed we have come back from the problems of I wish you all a we should take out as we leave also you feel tremendous you come out of yamipa and you feel ready for simas you should be able to come out of pu as well in the same way it shouldn't leave it's almost no I hope I hope what we've done here the reading of the migill is a it's all there inside especially what Esther said it's relevant for all generations for all times take out these lessons at least we'll have poem.
