Shiur Torah #85 Megillah of Esther, The Cure Before The Ailment Mussar

we have a lot going on in the next week this is the last sh Bon and uh actually tomorrow I have one in Hebrew but then uh next week B we're going to Israel we're going to go on a uh nice long trip to do as many shum as possible we're going to be there for 40 days BM and uh send you guys the Shi during on WhatsApp so again if uh anyone is not on it they should join the WhatsApp group that I have uh I send the uh daily Kook which is a 10 minute usually five days a week I would say average four or five times a week I send it which a lot of people like cuz it's only 10 minutes and uh it's relevant to our day-to-day life uh and also I send my Shing on the uh on the group so anyone that's not on it uh should join and uh if you guys want to have like a separate group you want to create no problem we'll I'll send you it that way uh but I'm not going to have regular text message uh on uh you know on I'm there but uh as you saw it's a very active group so a lot of people talk they communicate full of uh nice compliments uh you know sometimes it can get a little disturbing so one of two things I would recommend either uh put the group on mute which is you press the button the name of the group after it shows you your a screen you press mute or you you have a choice of putting it on mute which is one day one week or one year put it on one year and that way you don't get an alert every time there's a text message and which drives you crazy because I know it drives me crazy because I have several groups uh that I'm a part of and uh yeah on Google it's a little different but point is everybody could figure out how to put the group on mute so it doesn't drive you crazy cuz there's a lot of really resourceful things on it uh and uh aside from um aside from like Facebook is the only way you're going to be able to communicate with me once I'm out of here so uh I mean you can call me I'll give you guys my phone number if anybody needs to reach me but uh but uh the group is getting bigger a lot of people are joining the group on Facebook is consistently growing a lot of people doing CH a lot of Converse the group in Texas is getting closer and closer the uh woman that's uh in Florida should be converted by next month so uh a lot of action a lot of action and uh a lot of good action and uh we're seeing that a lot of the prophecies in the world today are coming true and uh one of the things you know we see this week we're seeing you know we have a u um you know we have puim in a couple of days uh briefly I tell you some of the of pu and I'm going to actually go over the updates and everything else during the actual Shi itself because I think that uh what we're about to go over is probably one of the best musar books ever written but most people don't consider it the M book um so the basic Al of what you're responsible for in puim it's only four things I went over it last last night but uh for anyone who didn't watch it four simple things one you have to do Mish at least two Mish uh the Mish has to be something that could be made into a meal so it's not just candy if you have just candy it's not it's not you're not fulfilling the Mitzvah it has to be considered a meal which is and something to uh to drink so some people put cookies some people put sandwiches some people put uh you know uh something they made if they're giving it to somebody that they know most people usually put something that's already if they're giving it to people that are not really close to they give something that's still in the wrapping if you really know people well then you can give them something you cooked if you want but it has to be something that could be made into a meal the second thing is you have to give gifts to the poor uh the uh the gifts to the poor has to be at least the value of a meal and it's two gifts two gifts two different people it has to be the value of one meal so a meal you know is anywhere between $7 and $10 you decide uh and you get have to give two gifts to the uh to the name uh the uh third thing is is that you have to listen to M EST M you have toist listen to it twice one on Wednesday night tomorrow night and one on Thursday morning you have to listen to every single word if you miss a word if you didn't hear or didn't understand a word you have to have a k open at the end of the you're going to see M you have to read the word yourself uh so it's very it's very important to uh for for uh uh men women and children to listen to the me if the children are too young to understand comprehend and be quiet then it's better that you do it at a different time maybe have somebody come to your house there's PL in our community there's plenty of reading times if you can't do it with your wife like for example my wife and I can't go to the same one uh so she's going to go one time and I'm going to get a different time so you have to listen to it twice uh the uh after you you finished the Miga uh you um on actually on when tomorrow there's a fast here the fast starts I think at around 6:00 in the morning 63 6:13 613 Okay so it starts at 6 ends around 8:00 at night everybody has to check their own local times whoever's watching this uh the Miga is usually read a little bit before the fast ends so by the time the Miga is finished the fast is finished so then you go home you have a meal you're not obligate to have any special type of meal on the eve of puim just a regular meal if you want to have a big meal you can have a big meal it's up to you but the meal that's part of the mitvah of puim is actually in the next day during the day of puim you have to have a meal uh that uh is with Bas and uh and um y you have to have wine and you have to have Bas basal and wine is because you're celebrating so generally if somebody is a vegetarian this is one of those days you should consider breaking it because it's very important to fulfill the Mitzvah obviously if you can't and it disgust you then you know so be it but uh uh you have to drink wine more than what you drink normally now it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to drink to the point where uh you uh you know you can't comprehend what's going on in the world but also you can get a little you know you get tipsy it's it's aah but most important thing about getting drunk because I don't think uh many people go over this is that you cannot go to the Bess drunk under any condition you can never go to a besset even walk into a besset drunk last year unfortunately I saw a few people that were drunk came into Bess it's a big big big it's better off to miss the entire prayer uh then go to Bessa drunk so uh yes what the best thing to do is to drink fall asleep for a half hour hour and then usually when you wake up you wake up when it's pretty much over uh if you're not a big drinker I'm not a big drinker I don't drink at all throughout the entire year I still have to drink a little bit just to make the Mitzvah but it's a for me to get drunk is probably not going to happen um so but anybody else that drinks normally uh you know on a regular basis you could drink a little bit more than normally and enjoy the holiday have a meal um and that's that's pretty much the basics of pooling people have to you know it's a uh it's a nice thing nice time to uh to dress up anyone that's dressing up kids dress up adults can dress up should dress up it's a fun day uh and uh we should definitely use it as a uh a time to enjoy but one of the things that I wanted to go over today is M I did a sh last year which had a very turnout online uh in person not so many but online was actually very successful for I think at least 68 months it was probably my top uh but I want to go over some of the things we didn't go over last year uh there's a lot of things m in my opinion after looking at some of the details of the meila and and studying it uh it's probably one of the best musar books that you can ever read most people that know about M and didn't study it think of it as a very nice story and that has a big miracle in it uh but the reality of it is that there's a lot of M there's a lot of lessons we can learn to apply to our life uh both individually and as a nation that we have to learn for from or else this is going to happen again because it's happened several times so the uh the whole meila is not very long takes I think about 40 minutes or so to read it in theet uh but to learn the meila takes more than that I recommend everybody to uh uh get uh a uh this one in my opinion is is a very good one art scroll art scroll makes very good quality stuff uh as a matter of fact this is a uh the first book that art scroll ever came out with this is the first book that started art scroll it's a very nice story it was actually originally written in memory of a sadik that passed away and uh but it was so successful that it started the whole art schol so this is about 40 years ago uh so they had a you know that a uh um a special that they sent out to customers the the book for free uh and uh it's amazing it's m has great Pim a lot of details a lot of very very interesting things English yeah of course English um yeah they have English they have Hebrew but the one I'm reading here is English and Hebrew so the there's a lot of misconceptions about the uh the story of of Meg uh so the first thing we need to go over is I guess what happened before it when did it happen and why did it happen now the first bet mikdash was destroyed by the wicked and uh about a little over 2,000 years ago 2,400 years ago 450 years ago um by R the king of Babylon um I'm sorry yeah about 2,000 years ago yeah so um he destroyed the bet mikdash but uh he also received Prophecy from Hashem of what's going to happen at the end of times this is all can be read in the uh um Book of Daniel after the Cyrus took over actually Bazar took over after that Cyrus took over and uh shortly after a took over now the reason why I mentioned the other kings is because unlike today where the leaders of the world are mostly either anti- Torah or uh completely ignorant of Torah the leaders of those days actually knew and believed in the Torah even if they believed in idol worship they still believed in the Torah and the uh the reason why the uh after he destroyed the bet mikdash the reason why we start off this with a party that throws is because a was aware of the prophecy that Jeremiah made almost 70 years before that hasem is going to allow the the Jews to build a second bet mikdash now this 70 years this prophecy actually I'm sorry Jeremiah made the prophecy almost 200 years beforehand that there's going to be about a 7ye difference between mdash now this prophecy everyone knew it all of the Kings knew it and all of them were scared of it now after died his son took over and uh his son was counting every single day to see if this prophecy come true because despite them destroying his father destroying the bet mikdash they were still all scared of the god of Israel they still all knew that the Torah is real and according to the prophet not only will the BET mikdash be built but the enemies will be punished so everyone was counting with a lot of nerve of you know when is is this prophecy going to come true not come true what's going to happen when Bazar decided that seven years have passed according to his calculations not according to the calculations of Jeremiah which no one knew he decided to throw a party and not only throw a regular party he wanted to take all of the kaleim all of the tools of the bet mikdash the the uh the clothes of the and so on and show off the treasure that uh that he has and he did something that not even neter did and he showed off all of these things which is complete desecration of hashem's name and he died that very night hasem sent somebody to Assassin him that very night same night after him Cyrus Came In and uh he decided that it's time to fulfill the prophecy and even though he was a go he was a righteous he was a righteous Gentile he decided the time has come to build the BET mikdash and not to celebrate that it wasn't built like Bel shazar it's time to build it it's time to fulfill the prophecy the Jews are a people that have been around they're the josen let's build a mikdash and he made a decree to build the bet mikdash but unfortunately when he passed this law we had the very same problem in his time that we have today and the same exact problem that we've had for 2,000 years over 2,000 years what is the problem we had no with had no Unity so when he announced that it's time to build the BET mikdash out of millions and millions of Jews only 42,000 showed up that's it that's it millions and millions of Jews heard that the not only the prophecy that Hashem gave to Jeremiah is being fulfilled but you have permission without fighting to go build a mikdash people are either non-believers or they like each other this one's ashkanazi this one's safic this one's yite I don't like his prayer I don't like his Kazan I don't like this I don't believe it all the nonsense that we've been dealing with for 2,000 years it's only 42,000 agreed to go that's it so now hasem decided that in order for us to have a better mikdash it's not for 42,000 people it's for the entire people so if there's no there's no bet mdash so Cyrus was removed from power and becomes king and the first day the becomes king he passes a law no mikdash stop the building so they've been building for for a couple of years stop in the middle no more building bet mdash now the beginning of m still is where the Story begins of when a not only stopped the the building of the bet mikdash but he's also throwing a party he's throwing a party that he believes that according to his calculations the 70 years have passed and since the prophecy didn't come true it's never going to come true God of Israel has left Israel so he's throwing a party but how what kind of party is he throwing he's throwing a party for 180 days six months six months party such a big party that he wanted to show off his wealth because was not your typical King well we know initially when we just read the mea we just learned that he's a king we don't know the back story now the uh usually you know my my father tells a good story he says um he asked this uh him or somebody else asked this rich guy one time how did you make your money he says I could tell you how I made all of my Millions except the first million meaning that it's implying that usually people to make their first batch of money is a big secret whether it's a scam or it's something they don't want anyone else to know whatever it is no one wants to tell their tra secrets so from the basic from the basic reading of the Mig we don't know how became king so we go to kazal we go to our sages to find out how become king and the biggest question we have to ask ourselves before we even go to kazal if somebody asked me this question one of the people that watches the Shu has ask me this question says why why should we rely on they weren't therea wasn't there during the time of you know wasn't there during the time ofu why should we rely why Rashi wasn't there during any of these stories why should we rely on their interpretation so to answer the question in detail we have to go to has six parts and it's it's a mish and the first gives us a very critical answer that every Jewish person needs to know it says I'll read it in English Moses received the Torah it says one one first Moses received the Torah from from God who revealed himself at Mount siai and transmitted it to Joshua Yeshua B Joshua transferred it uh uh to um the elders the uh the elders to the prophets the prophets transmitted it to the men of the great assembly and they said three things be deliberate in judgment develop many disciples and make a protective fence for the Torah so why did why does the start that way because is trying to tell us that the Tora is not just a book that we found in the middle of the desert we have a direct lineage of exactly how we got it from mosenu all the way till now now to give even more details of how it uh it's transpired I think it's actually B we have a list of exactly every single Sage that took over matter of fact probably take too long to to to go over it I'll just go over briefly every single Sage from yeshu who actually took over not only do we know the names we know the dates so no one can say oh maybe there was a lapse there was a gap of time that uh maybe there was a mistake maybe game of telephone after Yeshua Bon along with elazar the son of Aon and pinhas the son of elazar pinhas took over then he gave it to Eli then to shmuel then to King David then AIA the prophet then Elijah the prophet Nai then Elisha the prophet the student of Elijah the prophet then y then Zaria thenos then OS then Isaiah then M then yel thenum then habakuk then Saia then Jeremiah then B the prophet then Ezra The Scribe whose Court included hagay Zar Daniel Z Shimon theik and then Shimon sadik uh became the uh the high priest the main oral Torah that uh as far as how the all of the receivers so you know if anyone wants to check literally Name by name is in the book Mish by the ran marites in Generation 3 this is by the way the list I'm giving you is Generations so from example Zak the Next Generation is O the next generation is OS so it shows you from generation to generation who took over generation 35 is which actually put the Mish in writing but the first um the first bit of oral Torah that was written was not by it was actually by yonatan benel Yan benel actually wrote the first bit of the Torah which when he did in it says that the entire country had an earthquake and then a Heavenly voice came down and then said who disclose my secrets to mankind said it was me but you know I did not do it for my the respect of my father and then I do it for my own respect I did it for yours I Did It For Your Glory because our Generations are deteriorating so much that if we don't do something the oral Tora which is the real part of the Tor the critical part of the T the part of the T where without it there really isn't aom without it we don't have anything so we have to put it in writing and he actually says to he says I want to write more more commentary on the rest of a Torah and the uh B Cole said the Heavenly voice said you've done enough meaning you're not allowed to write anymore why because the rest of the Torah that he didn't write about has the secrets of the exact time of when the MH is going to come and Hashem did not want us to know when the MH is going to come exactly because lest people will end up waiting for the last minute to do cha this is also the reason why Hashem changed age you know if you read in the beginning of seph beginning of the Torah you see that lived to 930 years old Noah was over 6 was 600 years old just at the time of the Maul he lived more than that uh was over a thousand years old almost a thousand years old and so on there's many people that lived literally almost a thousand years hundreds and hundreds of years but then you see the most righteous person that ever lived the prophet of all prophets mosenu maxed out at 120 years old why hasem Hashem decided even before the generation of mosu to limit the age because what ended up happening is that people thought oh my father lived till 500 so I should have live at least to 350 400 maybe even more because medicine is getting better like today people think oh Mar BR parents only live till they're 70 or 80 so with medicine advancing I should live till 120 they don't realize that your life for death is decided in shamine they think it's decided by medicine so Hashem decided to limit life to a a much shorter life because when people thought that they have a lot of time they figured that they could sin for a long time and then eventually do CH this is the same concept same same uh uh wrong mindset that people have for in regards to the mashia they always worried about when is the mashiah going to come he's going to come next week he's going to come next month next year when should I do Chua the reality of it is that a mashia our own personal mashia as we talked about last week can show up at any minute it's called Death somebody died that's their mashia that's their time to wake up and pay the bill so decided to have this huge party and's background story is that he actually used to be uh the guy that works in the uh uh and cleans the horses for who for vashi his wife for her father he used to clean the horses but then it says the mid says that actually in a it's called why why is it why is he given such respect page 11 it says that really a bought his position meaning he had so much money that he made himself King so how does a horse cleaner have so much money found a treasure became the richest person in the world other than Haman Haman was actually the richest man of all time next to korak korak was the richest man of all time then it was a man and now you have a says says it came to pass in the days of a that who reigned from hu to K 27 provinces to give us an idea of what the power and wealth of a is he is one of very few Kings in history that actually ruled the entire world 127 countries every single country had to pay him taxes every single country had to pretty much ask him before they went to the bathroom so it was mamash complete control of the world no one has that today uh you know but uh you know at least for the last few ,000 years and this is one of the few that actually had it so now is having this big party to show that uh the prophecy did not not come true and he wants to make sure that everybody knows that it's cancelled so what does he do he brings to show off not only his wealth he want to show off what he inherited from the previous King he took overpow from what did he inherit the Kim of the bet mikdash so he brings them out also now hasem could have killed them also but he wanted to use them to bring Salvation to the Jews so he did not kill him he would punish him later on one of the punishments that he would give him is by killing his wife vashi how do now once has a lot of nerve one of the things that he did is to show people that he had money and so on we see it in the mid says the uh the Splendor Majesty meaning is one of the words that describes the the clothing of the so we know from here that he wore the the uh the clothing of the uh of theim but how do we know it's theen and not the regular because the uh next verse says when it's describing the uh different different things says there were hangings of white fine cotton and so on and then Turco the letter if you notice in the me is extra large it's very big much bigger than the normal letters and the value of is eight what's eight in the Torah eight is the number of clothing of garments that the would wear the regular would wear four so this is one of the ways that we see that whoever wrote the meila was not just a story it's not like a Harry Potter book you know a lot of people ask a question how come hashem's name is not mentioned in the meila you have 24 books in the tanak m is one of them but it's the only book in the entire Torah that does not mention aem's name one time so people say oh no maybe it was just a story maybe the go or the atheist will say ah this is just a it's a it's a fairy tale the people that don't believe don't have enough say oh yeah you know it's just somebody wrote it it's not necessarily as holy as the rest from Little codes and intricate details of the meila we're going to find out that not only is this book extremely holy and extremely good for M extremely good for a lot of things but it's also something that could not have been written without KES no way that a human being could have this type of excuse me this type of intellect to write the meila this way so moving on you know who what it I don't know no anybody know uh I know it was written at the time of uh you know was it was decreed to be written by Estelle who was the queen uh but as far as naming a specific person I don't know it I don't think it is I don't think it does name a person that actually uh wrote the meila not to my recollection it wasn't a huh it wasn't a EST was a Quinn she wasn't a scribe the Torah is written by scribes someone that knows how to write uh not uh our tah is not written by average people it's not like my notes that you saw to is something holy uh so it has to be written to with certain laws that have to be followed how to use what kind of letters what kind of shapes you have to uh uh go to the mik you have to be very holy person there's laws of how to write it's not writing typing on a computer so even though EST was a prophet and a very very holy person doesn't necessarily mean that she had the skill set to uh to write it um so now in this s for six months it says it says and when these days were fulfilled the the king made 7day Feast for all the people who were presented in shushan the capital so the King after six months of partying he extended and made another party for another week but what's what's the point says if all the people that came to the original party he made a party for them who is he who were kazal telling us that we're uh he's referring to he's referring to here that there were many Jews that came to the party and not just regular ordinary Jews rabbis so the asks why was am later on in the story judged so harshly to the point of extermination it was decreed in shamim it was decided in shamim that hasem decided to destroy is just like he told m M let me wipe you out wipe them out and start a new nation from you that's pretty much what hasem decided in a uh in during a time of just there was no he didn't tell anyone that he's going to start a new nation for him it's pretty much a complete extermination why did we get such a horrible horrible decree the reason why is because the rabbis and the Jews now they they could get out of it and saying listen we I can't not go to the party it's the party of the king if we don't show up he's going to kill us we're locals we're not the people that live in far away countries where you live in shushan so anyone doesn't go to this party going to say oh he's he's going against the kinghood so we have to show up why did we get punished because we enjoyed it now why was it a big deal to enjoy it because the whole party is because it's against the Tah the prophecy didn't come true yet he's showing off what they the gim stole from us what he stole from us from the bet mikdash the house of hasem and you're going to enjoy the wine and the drinks it's like somebody robbed your house say oh you know what let me send him a birthday cake or celebrating uh you know Hitler's anniversary what are you doing going okay you have to go you have to go but you're enjoying too this is one of the worst things that we could have done this this created a is the worst sin you can possibly make and it's actually something that's happening still today when is it happening today when you have these fake religious people that are the by the organization called the is a bunch of evil Wicked people that were born Jewish and dress Jewish not only Jewish dress black and white with the payers and everything but they go and do and celebrate anything that happens bad in Israel they celebrate because they're against the foundation of uh the modern Israel but not listen if you're not a fan of the the Congress or the uh um uh government of is obviously anyone that's religious can't be a fan because they're anti Tor but to celebrate when Jews are being killed to celebrate when there's missiles being thrown at us to celebrate when the uh the enemies are advancing against am is that's a that couldn't be any worse and that's what they do there's even videotapes of them hugging and kissing the leaders of Iran and the top terrorist leaders the worst part about it if this was like an ordinary secular Jew no one would care like ah it's just some guy that's crazy but when it looks like it's religious Jews it gives the entire Torah not just the entire Judaism the entire Tor a bad name and there's no worse than that and there's definitely a special place in gon for people like that and hopefully they get there very soon now people need to understand that we have an obligation to look Jewish we learned this from M when it mentions m in the in the uh it says the first thing it says there was a Jewish man in shushan the capital of whose name was modai son of ya son of shimi son of Kish a benjamite who had been exiled from Jerusalem along with the Exiles so it says is what's a is now if you pay attention the only other reference to some being someone called a is there's two places one in the T when it's referring to Moshe M and the second time is actually when it's referring to Hashem the one thing that we learned from here is that y that m was not only a sadik he was the mosu of his generation now is if you see the what's a is how does somebody call the is a man who fears God this is the description that mosenu got Yi he was called Yi and he was also named M because he went against publicly now why is he described how did everybody know that he was a is is because he dressed the part I think it's uh who says that his payers were so long and he was so proud of them his clothing anyone that would seem even someone blind was able to identify this one is not only a uh a Jew he's a man of who fears AEM so his identity was never hidden and even though we weren't exactly in power at the time of the story he was very proud to be a Jew so we are obligated to do the same we're obligated to look Jewish we cannot look like the go we can't wear their same type of clothes this is the reason why in today's age you know people wear the black and white one of the reasons at least you're not obligated to necessarily wear the black and white but you have to look at a Jew so how do you look at a Jew there are certain things that Jews have they have a they have a uh you know it's a there's certain things certain certain things that Jewish people do um you have to look like the part when we get to a point unfortunately some places in the world that we're embarrassed of who we are we either need to learn a lot more Tora and and and get some serious help with our or we uh we need to move you know a lot of people that are still living in Europe in places that have a lot of anti-Semitism are are crazy they're just bringing harm to themselves moving on with the story now to show off his uh to show off his uh his power show off his good choices he wants to show all of the people his wife Vy but he doesn't want to show her and say oh there's a picture he wants he wants to show everyone that she's the most beautiful woman in the world he wants to wants to have her show her true beauty what's her true beauty he wants her to show herself naked now vashi was a very very Wicked person but when she was asked to do this she refused why did she refuse go punished her and put satat put a disease on her skin and some actually say even uh she grew a tail why was vashi punished so badly in this moment because vashi sinned in the two worst sins for everyone one is she sinned or three first she went against the women of Israel by forcing them to work on Shabbat forcing the women of is to work on Shabbat again the go knew what Shabbat was they knew probably more than even Jews know today and they specifically did everything they could to make sure the Jews stay away from Hashem because they knew that as long as the Jews stay secular Hashem is not going to help them so first thing she wanted to do is make sure that she destroys the connection between andem she made the women of Israel work on Shabbat the second thing is she would make them work naked third thing is before called her to uh to come to uh to join the party and show the men her naked body she was actually also wearing the clothing of the Kim so she was also desecrating hashem's name so Hashem in his amazing ways measure for measure not only made it decree that she has to appear naked in front of everyone but she can't because she's disgusting now but on top of it when uh a decreed when when this whole thing happened it was on Shabbat so when the death penalty was decreed it was on Shabbat she was killed on Shabbat she made the Jews violate Shabbat she got killed on Shabbat but before she got killed there was a g battle there a there was a pride battle between you see the first time that is mentioned it says and the second time it says it the first time it says uh where is saying to bring Queen Vash before the king but then uh uh to bring vashi the queen before the king but the second time it says uh but the queen vashi refused why is the queen second SEC after the name in the beginning and before the name a second time is because Vash was trying to tell listen I'm the ruler I'm number one you are vashi the queen you're only the queen because of me when vashti responded she says tell a that I am the queen vashi and I come from a Royal bloodline and he used to be my father's horse cleaner so remember who I am so they went back and forth with the Gava and of course this is usually the uh the recipe for Des all disasters and eventually when she rejects decides that he has to ask his advisor what should I do goes to his advisers the closest to him first he goes to the wise men it says says then the king spoke to the wise men those who knew the times what does it mean those who knew the times the first that he went to he went to the Jews he went to the rabbis what does it mean that those that knew the times says those that knew the calculation of when the moon renews only the Jews knew exactly the exact time of when the moon will renew there's an exact math in thear it tells you exactly what the uh the uh six digit number of the minimum uh days that the uh would take the moon to go around the earth which is something that science only discovered in the last two decades we already had it a few thousand years ago so he knew that the Jews even though he was a big anti-semite he knew they was still the smartest so he went to them but the Jews figured out listen he wants us to judge what she to do with his wife if we tell him to kill her tomorrow morning when he's not drunk he's going to wake up he's going to realize his his uh his wife is dead he's going to blame us he's going to kill all of us on the other hand if we don't tell him anything we say no no uh don't kill her tomorrow people are going to remind them look she went against you what kind of advice you're getting he's going to kill us anyway so what should we do so the wise men were called wise for a reason they got out of it how do they get out of it they said listen since the BET mikdash was destroyed by the previous King by since then so did the judicial court so did the sanedrin there's no more sanedrin and since that time there's a law in our religion that we're not allowed to make any rulings for anyone not even ourselves so I'm sorry we can't help you it's against our religion so okay fine this is a party I'll let you I'll let you pass and now he goes to his own uh advisors and it says it gives the seven names of the advisors andal says thean the last one mentioned was actually another name for ham and you see that even though he's the last one mentioned he's the first one that responds with the suggestion it says declared before the king and the officials not only against the King has Queen vashi done wrong but against all the officials and all the people and all the provinces of King in so many words what he's telling he's telling him here is a tell him listen vashi she made a big sin she didn't only go against you she went against all of us because she did it in public everyone is going to know every wife for all of your officials for all of the people is going to know that if the queen could go against the king then the wife can go against the husband it's going to cause chaos the real truth is that Amman actually had a lot of schom problems his wife was the boss in the house even though he was very very rich his wife would tell him what to do and constantly go against him so he wanted to you know he knew that if this whole thing gets publicized that the queen is allowed to go against the king he knows that his life is over at home he says listen you have to kill her but one thing we learned here as far as m is that we noticed that I said in earlier this week that we noticed thatan or ham was mentioned last but yet he was the first one that responded which is we learn in a uh uh chapter five M9 it says the seven traits that characterize a fool or uncultivated person and seven a learned one it goes into detail but it says that a a fool is one who uh speaks out of turn in so many words he replies inappropriately discuss discusses uh the uh First Things Last and the last things first in essence the exact opposite of what a smart person would do and one of the things that somebody like that does is that it he actually speaks out of term he's mentioned last but he speaks first and you see here that Haman was not only Wicked but he was also a fool but during this advice which is usually not a part that we pay that much attention to we see something amazing aside from giving a the advice that he should kill the queen he says listen you're the king of 127 countries but to make a simple ruling like killing your queen or what to do with your queen you're asking us because you have a rule in your own Court in your own uh Kingdom that you have to ask your advisers I don't think you should ask your advisers I think you should make a new law you're the king you should make the law and don't ask anyone if you want you can ask but you shouldn't it shouldn't be a law that you have to ask them now this doesn't really seem like a big deal what's the what's the big deal here this at the end of the year we're going to find out how this specific thing ends up being how hasem shows his name in the Paras without showing his name the simple explanation is that list listens to this advice at the end of the story when ham is found to be one that wants to kill and and all of the people is very heated and he decides to kill Haman on the spot so we learn from here that if it wasn't for the beginning of the story the background story that Haman changed the rule then even to kill Haman himself wouldn't have been able to do so in essence what ended up happening is that ham he passed the law that that ended up being his own poison this is a beautiful way of how we see how hasem provides the Cure before the element He gives us the solution before we even realize there's a problem and this is the story of me over and over and over again you see it different details different things that happen one after another where you see that AEM is constantly doing things that don't seem like much of a big deal and later on you know that those each one of those pieces of the puzzle if one piece of the puzzle wasn't there the whole story would collapse which is the reason why at the end of the at the end of the m still when a still decrees to theim to write this story say no listen publicizing the story maybe the go maybe the non-jews are going to go against it publicizing the story Tech against them that our God made these Miracles and saved our nation maybe they're going to go against it says no you have nothing to worry about the story is so miraculous that even the go know that knew that it's the hand of hasem that made it all happen even the go admit that Hashem was in charge of all of it so we have to see it ourselves why do we have to see it ourselves number one because again we see that this is a Divine book that we have to learn number two we see that AEM is hid himself within the story but he's still hiding himself today he's doing the same exact thing today the story of M is the last generation of Prophecy this is the last generation of Prophecy but hasem provided the prophets while at the same time hiding himself so he was pretty much in the mix between the two different worlds we've had the time of before M we had prophecy we had uh open miracles in the bet mikdash you know amazing now bis we don't have no prophecy and no open Miracles that is to the public that we know of uh because most people call it nature not uh not AEM unfortunately um and people deny hasem in any chance that they have here we have the combination of both here is the is the middle between us and the Connecting Point between us and M we don't have the prophets that uh we don't have the prophets today but we had it back then we don't we we don't have the uh open Miracles but they did not have it either at the time so they were also questioning things the same way we are but if you look at the details you see that there are open Miracles just you have to look for them have to admit that they're open miracles in that coincidence which is actually the the whole concept behind the thought process that ham had ham Hamman if you uh if you notice the wording of the Mig every every time he mentions something he always says mik or so in essence he he thinks that everything is a matter of luck and Fortune so when there was a bad fortune that he was supposed to walk uh M and and serve him for the day because the king decreet it when he came back home to tell his wife and uh his advisers and children what happened he's saying oh oh it happened it's just a matter of bad luck it's not that this is something that's happening from shamim or anything like that after this after he kills vashi kills vashi passes that new law he uh gets depressed so he has to find a new wife and he decrees that all of the virgins in all of the countries have to appear each one has to get ready and there's a oneyear time frame for each one of them to get ready six months that they have to uh be uh uh beautified by oil of myrr and 6 months with perfumes now originally it was all of the virgins all of the single girls then we meet modai and modai says that he's a father he's a uh adopted daughter named hadasa and she's also called Estel so kazal asks a few questions if the why first of all why was a uh a also called AA which one came first it says just as the Hadas which is a Myrtle was uh had a sweet smell her uh her actions and she was such a righteous person that it was also like a Hadas it was also sweet but aside from that she was also a especially she had a very she was very beautiful but the gar also says she was green what she was green she had a greenish complexion and also there's a I believe in me also that some sages said that she was 70 years old she wasn't like a 25y old so it's an interesting it's an interesting but one of the things that uh we've gone over in the past uh but it's worth saying it again is that uh we're always saying that the t is divine Five Books of Moses are Divine and we're also saying that the m is part of the tanak the written Tor even though it does not have aem's name so me is actually one of the best ways to prove that not only is the written Tah meaning the five books of Moses and the entire tanak Divine but the entire tanak which includes me is also Divine and on top of it the oral Tora the that no one wants to believe in is also divine all three all comes from a still from the one book that everyone questions you have a proof the best possible proof you can have so the asks in where is M mentioned in the Tor meaning that if the Torah is divine you're saying that everything that's ever happened in history including this sh right now that's happening right now the conversation that you and I are having right now every conversation that ever took place everything that ever took place or will take place is in the Torah you just have to know how to find it everything that ever happened is inside the Torah you just need to know how to find it so the asks is the critical part foundation of the oral Tora it says where can you find m in the Torah and also in page 139 on both we also ask the same question about a St where is a St mentioned in the Torah if this is divine okay so it was written a thousand years before me St but if you're saying this is divine and it has the secrets to the entire world where could I find their names there's no character in the entire K that's called EST or M so where can we find them and not only M and not only EST but this specific is and this specific so the gives an answer to both it says modai is alluded to is referred to in chapter in seph in Exodus chapter 30 verse 23 when it's referring to theim it's referring to the incenses the anointment oil it says so he says that is where m is actually being referred to this in and the is saying that the the interpretation of uh of M is which if you change the spelling looks like mod okay this is nice doesn't show me it's divine it just shows me that they just used a couple of words and changed it to a different language and made up mod this does not show me anything if anything it just shows me they're clever and very smart but doesn't show me it's divine okay we're going to get back to that where is EST EST is in seph in Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse 19 it's in during a SE a section that hasem is telling us what's going to happen after we make major sins major sins no different than what was happening at the time of Me no different than what was happening before M no different than what's happening today it says it says but I will surely have concealed my faith on that day because of all the evil that that it did for it had turned to gods of others so the word EST and AEL sound similar but still we do not have we see that it's clever we see it's interesting but we still don't see how it's divine how it proves all three parts it proves the T it proves the it proves the and it proves the as I told you guys in the previous there's something called Torah codes something that K the sages had already for at the time of the G but we only figured it out using computers in our past generation and if you look at it if you uh go to the word m and you take the the men which is the first letter and you count 12,196 letters you get to the letter another 12,196 letter skip you get to the letter um D and so on you spell the word every 12,196 letter skip you end up getting to the letter that spell the name m the same exact thing happens with est you go to the word a which is the word that's referenced in thear from nearly 2,000 years ago a Ste you count 12,196 letters you get the Sam another 12,196 you get the T and so on but usually Torah codes if you look at the things that we found about the rambam if you look at the things that we found about the Shah the Holocaust uh you look at the the the prophecies we have in about the idol worship and the prophecy that Islam and uh Christianity will be born and unfortunately many Jews will fall into them and get out of them as well but there will be the two major false religions in the world most Torah codes have small skips not 12,000 they have seven letters or 50 letters not 12,000 the bigger the skip the more you think it's like a chance it's not a uh precise it's not like Divine so why do we know that not only is this skip Divine and it proves everything we just talked about but it's specifically talking about this that's in the and this EST because 12,196 is the exact number of letters in me the entire book of me has 12,196 letters and again at the time the Torah was written the was not written it's almost more than a thousand year difference so you see that the exact precise number of how many letters a uh you know we have is is already written in the T well well before the uh the Miga was ever written so this shows us not only that the Torah the five books of Moses and the entire tanak is divine because it has information about things that are happening in the future it shows us on top of it that me was not just written by just an average person was written with someone that Hades had Divine spirit and obviously needed the guidance of Hashem to write every single letter every single character because it obviously has to match the Tora was already written and on top of it you already see that all of this wisdom was at the possession of kazal of our sages in thear because without them we wouldn't even know where to start counting and we wouldn't even know that there's even a possibility of counting 12,196 letters from that letter in the middle of the book or at the end of the book of the Torah so you see that the entire Foundation all of it is already written in all three places and all of them completely agree with each other showing that there's no way in the world that any of these books could have written by normal people uh without uh either Hashem guiding every single step or has himself being part of it now after after uh we meet EST and it says something changed in this decree from originally the decree was only for it was only for virgins only for single girls but now after mentions it says it says now the decree changed in essence now it just instead of says uh instead of saying it um virgins it says women many young maidens meaning here kazal explains to us that now it's including even married women now thear says that even though M adopted Estelle he also married her so she was his wife adasa you mean adasa and EST is the same person right adasa and EST is the same person so he married her he married her yeah she was his wife so it says don't read the word b uh read it this is in page 13 and she was actually his wife now but she was in a family she was the daughter of his cousin oh not uh she wasn't uh um like the blood related to that extent though she wasn't allow she was allowed by the tah she was allowed by the tah um yeah she was his uncle's daughter uncle's daughter was uncle's daughter um so she's allowed so and he married her but now we have a problem this is looking at women so she's doing everything she can she was a bigad she was a prophet he was a prophet but there were also very very righteous people um and she's trying to do whatever she can to continue hiding that she's Jewish but at the same time she has to stay Jewish she still do the MIT so one of the things that during this 12-month preparation process that uh would have each woman get ready he would give her whatever she wants whatever she asks for he gives her so she she uh didn't ask for anything but she was given seven different attendants so what did she do she said each one of these attendants will come at a different day no attendant will ever come to me twice why because this way I can count the days the days of the week so I know when Shabbat is what she's a prophet she doesn't know when Shabbat is he doesn't know how to counting ahead Monday Tuesday Wednesday she doesn't know she doesn't know no she does know but she didn't want anyone else to know that she's keeping Shabbat and she's acting differently on Shabbat so she made sure that the maid that comes on Shabbat never comes during the week so the one that comes to shabbat only sees it once a week so she doesn't know that she's acting differently on Shabbat than the rest of the week that she's not lighting fire so she thinks no she doesn't light fire ever so this is one of the ways that she hid that she was Jewish and she was still keeping mitv you see sometimes you see the stories about the uh the the sages and the the people in the Torah and how much they sacrificed in their life just to do you know the mitvah of keeping Shabbat mitvah any Mitzvah andash breaks your heart when you see people today you have to beg them to do it then back then they were uh they would kill themselves just to keep keep Shabbat actually read story it's I haven't finished it yet but it's a very good story um it's in the magazine and uh of this past month of this yemenite guy that uh they lived in Yemen he tells a story of how his uh brother was uh kidnapped by the Arabs 46 40 uh and after 46 years he finally got him he finally found his brother they reunited but he tells the background of how they grew up and how they started teaching these kids tah from birth and they also made them work at a very very young age so even at 5 years old the person would already help the parents and already help the family with work but how would they pay them even until they got much older they would pay them by allowing them to learn tah that would be their payment so the kids would work all day travel from you know City to City carry bags you know feed the horses feed camels cheap whatever they had to had them do but the reward is the best thing in the world give me some time to learn T today you have to beg people to learn five minutes you know so it's uh it's the generations have changed so much it's uh makes should makes should make us think now one thing I actually found as a nice K is that uh it's very interesting that despite what all of the women from all over the world did during this 12mon preparation process still Estelle the seven-year-old greenish woman is being is chosen by of course this is all divine intervention this is all doing it but what I found that's very interesting is that it says that the preparation process is a um Mo they have to put so if you remember the mer that's the description of what they give to M of where you can find them in the Tor that's and the perfumes if you remember est's original name was hadasa why hadasa hadasa because it smells very sweet so it's very interesting that the preparation process of all of these women is is in essence they're uh the same things that what M and EST already are and this is also showing us that when it came down to EST she didn't she it specifically says she requested nothing except which Hagi the the king's Chamberlain and the guardian of the women had advised meaning whatever they told this take she took it but she didn't ask for anything special she didn't ask for anything why because she didn't want to be picked she's already married she's Jewish she doesn't want to be Queen if you think about this for a second ask any woman today that doesn't have to lie as a critical part of our life ask any woman today would you marry Obama right now right now be the first lady I doubt any woman in the world would say no even if she doesn't like the way he looks even if she doesn't like his religion even if she she doesn't like the uh what he's done or anything like that she'd still say yes why because unfortunately you don't have toah you look at superficial things you look at hey wait a minute king of uh of America the uh the president of the United States materials I get get everything I want even more so with est it's a real king Obama may be powerful in America but in reality he's not the king of the world or any president in the entire world not nanyu not uh Putin not anyone there's no real king in the world today that controls that many countries but here we have someone that actually controlled 127 countries controlled the entire world and the woman EST is not interested in becoming Queen she's not interested in inheriting power to 127 countries this shows you right this shows you the level of righteousness uh that uh that she was now after he chose Estelle he had a big party but the biggest part of the party the reason why he did the party is because he wanted to make her really really happy and the reason why kazal tells us is that every time he would ask she was very mysterious she listened to what M her real husband was telling her she said under no condition are you going to tell anyone who your people are and that you're Jewish so was trying to make her happy and and show off for her and uh and he's why because he wants to convince her to tell him where she's from who's our parents where she's from who she's related to the reality of it is that EST actually does come from a uh royal family uh one of uh EST est's grandfather is Sha Sha was the first king of Israel official king of Israel is also one of the most righteous people in history so much so that uh you know it's a very famous story of how sha and Dav had problems where sha tried killing DAV because he thought that David was uh was trying to go against the kinghood trying to go against uh against what Hashem decided and it was obviously a mistake David was a you know David was a very big sadik and one of the most right man that ever lived until this day people from all religions read what he wrote which is the but sha to the go a lot of the go especially Christians think that sha is portrayed to them like an evil Wicked King but in reality the tah tells us that sha was actually so righteous that if the roles were reversed if Hashem would have picked David King David to be the first king and sha was the one that was going to be the second king cuz that's what ended up happening then and sha would have tried to kill kill David he would have let him because sha was technically more righteous than King David at that time and King David A lot of people have a confusing uh and for a long time I didn't know myself is that it seems like when uh King David and Sha met each other uh you know King David was like a little kid like a teenager and sha was much older but it's not true at the time sha became King David was 28 years old he was already a grown man so this is also a lot more confusion that you have in uh you know in a lot of the non-jewish sources not that tah is a history book but you see that when you look at the you look at our sages we have exact details dates and everything that we possibly need to uh uh to know exactly what actually happened can you call him and tell them you could do work after and uh you could come to listen to talk you tell sure [Music] okay so this whole party he's trying to convince her she's not doing it she's not telling him and this little bit of detail is again another piece of the puzzle that if it didn't happen the whole story would change why because at the end of the story in order to get a to agree to kill Haman to tell him what happened and everything EST still does a very uh clever plan where she says she invites the king to a uh to a dinner that she's going to make for him and Hamman and they come and he says okay so what's your request why did you invite me he says no come tomorrow tomorrow I'm going to tell you the secret that I didn't tell you when I got married remember when you asked me where am I originally from tomorrow I'm going to tell you that's why I'm having all these events and after I tell you then I'm going to ask you for something so if she would have told him where she's from originally she wouldn't have been able to use it you know years later and this is pretty much all he ever wanted from her to know where our story to to know to know the secret you know the the longer the secret is kept the more you want it now after they they get married is doing everything and anything he can to enjoy EST the says that uh at this time is considered still married to M and her Rel relationship with the king is considered uh you know she's an she's being forced like rape she it's considered Ana so it's not a uh it's not violating her marriage with M because she's not doing it willingly once a woman is willingly with another man that she's never allowed to be with a husband now at this time obviously the king doesn't think about this know about this or anything like that and he's enjoying as much as he can with her so much so that it gets to the point that two of his servants two people that are heads of his servants decide that him sending them all over the place throughout the entire night 3 4 5:00 in the morning to get wine to get strawberries to do this to do that uh is driving him crazy to decide okay we're going to poison him we're going to kill him I can't take it anymore this since this new Queen came into the uh Castle I haven't been able to sleep it's driving me crazy I'm going to we're going we have to kill this guy now at this time they're speaking right next to modai because modai as soon as EST became Queen the king of says you know what I wish I I would have a servant or a advisor like nanet the King nebet used to have an advisor his name was Daniel Daniel the Prophet he was holy Jewish uh person that uh gave us a lot of the prophecies that we know today about the end of days and he was the advisor to so he tells uh EST I wish I would have somebody like him she says yeah you know what there is a very wise man that I know she doesn't tell him it's my husband it's a very wise man that I know his name is Mori he's also a prophet so he hiire him on the spot that he's going to be one of the people that uh goes into uh his a uh is one of his advisers so now so morai is always near the air he's always near the king he's always near the the castle so got very very upset that M was chosen for this position and not them on top of that they're very very upset about the fact that the king doesn't let them sleep at night they decide to poison them and on top of it when they're doing it they're talking about all this next to M so they're talking about M also next to him how could they do it they're talking in a language called Taran Taran is like an ancient language and no one spoke it at the time unless you spoke many many languages what they didn't know is that modai was one one Member One of the members of the sanedrin in order to be a member of the sanedrin you had to speak 70 languages why because thear says that if a witness in a case would come and would speak a different language you have to understand them in their in their language and never use an interpreter because an interpreter could change the words it subjects it to risk so you have to be able to understand that person in their language you have to speak those language fluently this also shows us the value of Jewish Education a lot of people don't have an idea of what the Torah is and think no what is it you just learned the story you uh you know what just go to college go be a doctor learn science learn this learn that they don't realize that when you really really put your head into the Tor you learn everything along the way and much much more advanced and that's why you see uh people that actually have spent their life learning to off from you know from birth and really committed not just people just went to school a lot of people went to Yesa and ended up being stupid it's not because of the Yeshiva it's because unfortunately people are either not dedicating theel or sometimes you have bad teachers but the Torah itself if you actually have a whole family involved in the education of a child you see that the kid is going to be much much more advanced and mature than anyone else uh at any age and actually that same story about the yemenite guy uh that was one of the things that the Arabs actually admitted when they saw 46 years after he saw his what he said yeah they got together after 46 years but he said during the story when his brother was taken he was about five or six years old and the uh before his brother was captured they went into this town and uh full of Arabs no Jews and uh when the adults were talking the six-year-old would respond and he said that the way he would respond the all the adults would be impressed how he know so much and they actually the Arab said now I know what they mean and I have proof of what they they mean when they say the Jewish people are the people of the book I have proof of it right in front of me they were so impressed of the six-year-old and how he handled himself you know cuz they're sixy old what do they know how they know how to walk a dog what do they know you know so it's it's it's really amazing when you have tah from you know from a really early age Jew it's a uh it's extraordinary and it changes the person's a uh his entire entire brain [Music] now one thing also that you'll hear in in my and in many rabis sh is that usually when you um mention things that happened whether you're using the as a source or using the as a source or using different parts of the uh of the five books of Moses or the tanak you notice that we mention where we got it you know it's sometimes you said just the name of the book book you mention even the page and the verse number where where do we get it actually one of the sources that the that the uh uses is actually it says that the uh first off every time uh a righteous person is mentioned in the Torah it says uh and his name is m his name is David whereas every time a wicked person is mentioned it says go go is his name so it's the name first then it says it's his name whereas if it's a righteous person it says his name is so and so so it's a it's in essence a uh a way of honoring but aside from that one of the other things that we learn in is that when finds out about this evil plan of B Andes he tells EST and Estelle tells the king in the name of M specifically says the matter was investigated after it was a discovered by m the matter matter became known to M who told it to Queen Estelle and Estelle informed the king in Mod's name so it could have just said n informed the king specifically says informed the king in's name this we learn in the chapter 66 when it says originally is no I'm sorry six that's 67 uh the Torah is even big even greater than priesthood or royalty and then it gives you different details of what the Torah does but at the end of that uh mishna what do you do with this tah it says learning in order to teach anyone who learns T needs to learn with an intention to teach someone you don't necessarily need to give a sh every Tuesday at 8:00 uh or say it's 8:00 but really start at 9:30 because no one shows up on time but you need to teach someone if you have kids you teach your kids you have a wife you teach your wife you have a couple of friends you teach your friends you have co-workers you teach anyone that you can teach you have to teach and if you have absolutely no one to teach you teach yourself so you learn to with an intention the intention is to teach you learn in order to practice meaning you have to keep going over and over the uh what what uh what you're doing and also to put it into practice to actually do what you're what you're learning don't just learn T and says oh you can't uh rip paper in the middle of Shabbat oh okay and then rip paper on Shabbat obviously you have to practice you have to learn theab you have to learn the all of the and actually put them to practice that's the point the next thing it says says pondering over what he what he has learned and repeating a saying if you're saying mentioning a verse repeating a saying in the name of the one who said it for you have learn this whoever repeats a thing in the name of the one who said it brings Redemption to the world as it is said in EST and Estelle said to the king in the name of M verse 222 so when you are mentioning your source of where you got your information you're actually bringing the mhia bringing the mashiah that much closer to uh uh to to coming and aside from that it's also very good etiquette very good uh character to do because you're showing that you are learning from someone and not necessarily showing Gava that you actually know everything uh because you really don't so you're not allowed to steal anyone's idea if you have an idea if you're using somebody's lecture as an idea or something like that you have to mention where you got the information uh for uh as it says in the mishna so after it's discovered they uh find those two people uh guilty they uh put them each in a room and uh confirmed that they wanted to kill the king and they hang them and they write this information in the book of Chronicles the special book that the king had the king had to remember anyone that did anything any anything good for him now this is also another key part of the puzzle how so if anyone does somebody good something good for you you say thank you you try to return the favor if you're in a position of power let's say if you're a CEO of a company somebody did you a big favor and they need a job you give them a job if you're a king of 127 Country somebody saved your life you to give him something give him a few dollars give him a country May saved your life here we see the king of as generous as he was to everybody else to gave him nothing he saved his life he gave him nothing this is a very big part of the puzzle if he would have paid him right away then later on in the story when Haman was planning on killing all of the Jews when it came time to fulfill the prophecy fulfill pretty much hashem's hashem's goal which is to destroy Haman part of the whole mission was to bring Haman to the highest level possible get him to be the number two person behind the king in order for his drop to be as big as it is but how to do it by showing that Haman is evil in his nature he's trying to not only kill the uh Jewish people he's trying to kill the most important people to the king one of them being M now if the king would have paid back M he wouldn't have even thought about M ever again but after the whole the first dinner that he had with Estel he went to sleep couldn't sleep they said the angels will kept throwing him off the bed woke up and he said you know what I don't know he had a bad dream he's thinking and he starts he has a bad dream about actually Haman chopping off his head and uh wearing his uh his uh Crown said maybe somebody's trying to assassinate me maybe they why would anybody try to assassinate me I'm so generous I give people money I give them this I give them that so let me look at my book of Chronicles to see if maybe I forgot to pay somebody that did me a favor this is where M shows up if he would have already paid him wouldn't have showed up said I already paid him he's not he's going to pass him like everybody else because he didn't pay him right away the reward was available to later later which ended up saving was one of the key parts that saved am is this is the same thing of how we have to look at our life today sometimes somebody does a big mitvah they arrange a they donate a lot of money they do any type of Mitzvah I actually have a guy in the other sh in sh Miami uh bless him he's doing CH started keeping Shabbat and so on and uh he tells me just yesterday we did a sh in Miami and he tells me listen you know it's a keeping Shabbat but it's very very difficult for me not because it's hard to keep Shabbat because he's in the car service business car service business when when are you going to use most cabs weekend Shabbat weekend Friday Saturday it's very very big money loss fan tens of thousands of dollars but when you know the truth you can't escape it when you know when theze from sh it's from sh so on one end if we don't know that it's from sham we don't believe that it's from sh then we say listen you know I have to go get my reward right now I have to go get my reward right now the king I did you a favor I saved your life give me the reward right now hasem I did something I did a little Mitzvah give me the reward right now but if we know that hem has the best our best interest in mind at all times then we know that anytime we don't get reward right on the spot it's because there's a much bigger one waiting for us when we need it not when we want it when we need it it's much more valuable when we want it it's just a short-term desire amen is a um there's a good joke I uh I heard the uh this kid comes to his father and he says uh ABA ABA I need I need this costume what what costume do you need need to be a cop for pulling listen father was very very cheap didn't want to spend any money I said no why don't you be a criminal instead it's easier custume no I need it I need it I need it I need it you know how little kids jump up and down make a big mess I need it I need it okay okay fine on P him you're going to get the custum fine so day before pulling comes his father gives him a little uh half broken gun he says okay you're a cop ABA where's the costume you said I'm going to get a custom he goes no that's the custom the gun he goes yeah but where's the uniform goes no you're under cover cop no one's going to know this woke up the people yesterday didn't work on you guys you got to sleep you should value my jokes I don't have many it's uh it's been a long day long day long day I know I know uh let's see so again we see how the um Hashem is providing the Cure before the elment okay okay so fast forward we see that Haman obviously hates the Jews hates mulai specifically uh mainly because M does not bow to him especially after he becomes the number two uh person be behind the king he does not bow to him he doesn't do anything when he uh at some point actually he doesn't even acknowledge him that he exists and uh people come to modai and say why why you know the the king said that everyone should bow to Haman why didn't you doing it why you going against the king I'm a Jew I can't do it it's against my religion there's three things that a Jew is not allowed to do even if it causes them death one idol worship two is a sex crime and three is murder so there's three sins that if someone put a sword to your or a gun to your head and in said do this or I'll kill you you have to die for them if someone tells you violate Shabbat you're allowed to violate Shabbat if they have a gun to your head cuz Shabbat is put on hold cuz your life is in danger but there's three things you you have to you have to say no kill me I can't I can't uh violate the sin the three things are idol worship a sex crime and murder what's idol worship is somebody says listen say that uh JC Penney or or Buddha or Muhammad is uh is true or one of these uh nonsense religions it's true you have to or will kill you tell them kill me not allowed not allowed uh bow to one of these crosses any of these things not allowed you have to die second thing is uh sex crime somebody tells you listen have uh you know have sex with this married woman have sex with this non-jew or I'll kill you you have to die not allowed this gives us an idea by the way is that it's better off to die than to be with a woman that's not allowed to you better off to die so just realize how big the sin is when people do it voluntarily you understand T tells you this one being not a woman is not allowed to you you have to die instead of doing it one of the three things only three things in the entire T you have to die for because the T says hasem gave us the T for us to live with three exceptions believing in saying that you agree to a false god but another one of them is a sex crime third one is murder your life is not more valuable than anybody else's everyone is brought to this world can't say listen kill him or we'll kill you you have to die you can't kill somebody else there's a very famous story in the the Shan the Holocaust righteous man comes to a very rich guy comes to his Rabbi he says listen Rabbi my son is in Holocaust but I have a way to uh rescue him some money it's going to cost some money but it means that somebody else that's Jewish is is going to die what should I do Rabbi tells him I can't believe you're asking me this question the guy said don't answer Abbi I got the answer and he let a son die you let a son die people today wouldn't even go to Rabbi they shave their son they don't care about any the whole neighborhood does it doesn't matter people are selfish but when you have the Torah you realize your life is not more valuable than anybody else's and if you hem wants you to live it doesn't matter what anybody else does anyway but this this gives us a lot of M because you hear that M refused to bow to Hamman and this is the one major thing that made Haman hate not only M but all of the Jews he already hated the Jews from birth he was from the from amalik it's in his blood to hate the Jews but M would made him heat it up it's like somebody's already angry and you're like poking at him it's like somebody I remember like in Wall Street you know was I was didn't have any good midot whatsoever I had no Tora so somebody would like a if it was like a bad day the worst thing you can ask somebody on Wall Street if they having a bad days is how much money did you lose what difference make you're already hated you're already upset when ask how much money I lost like it makes a difference why you going to give me the money so or or or something you know silly questions silly rhetor you know just actually questions that people ask just to make conversation and it's the worst thing you can do when somebody's angry so uh here we see that Haman already hates us but most is specifically making him angry how is he doing it cuz ham would walk around he would want everybody to bow to him but not only to him to his Idol so he' wear wear a chain with a PES with an idol so everyone that would bow to him is also bowing to his Idol so modai not only doesn't bow to him but he every time ham comes next to him he shows him the bottom of his shoe why is he show him the bottom of his shoe because of the background story K tells us that originally ham and were both Generals in the Army and at one time they had a war with a different different uh country they were both on the same side and modai would teach his soldiers good midot you have to only eat a little bit each time so we preserve this food because we don't know the next time we're going to get a delivery of food mhm you have to eat a little bit every day you also can't be too heavy because if you're too heavy and we get attacked you're going to die and so on teaching him like a soldier good mid Haman didn't teach his soldiers anything his soldiers were like animals they're like pigs so as soon as they got the delivery they finished the entire food now soldiers get hungry the next day they come to him man he's there he's their General he goes okay give us food he goes I don't have any more food and he saw that this huge Army is getting so angry they're about to kill him they're putting him in charge so he ran to M he says please please give me some of your food you have a lot of food he goes no why why would I give you any food because if you don't give me any food all my soldiers are going to kill me goes why is it my business you made a mistake you taught them the way you did you treated them like uh you train them like animals now deal with it no no please please help me give me some food he goes what can you give me goes I promise you that as soon as this uh War is Over I'm going to be a slave to you for the rest of my life I'm going to be your slave okay you saying it doesn't mean anything to me how do I know that if the war is over you're you're not going to back out no we're going to write a contract right now but there's no pens so what do they do on the bottom of his shoe on the bottom of M shoe he engraved he engraved that I ham and slay forever and he actually put his blood on it to fill up the thing so you know it's from him so every time Haman would come Mr big shot would show him hey buddy you're my slave you're no big shot nothing you're my slave so he's heating up even more so he already hates him as it is he hates the he knows that everything he's saying is true on top of it he is heating him up so this kind of bring us to a question I mean technically you're not supposed to make somebody more Angry they're already angry at you what's the uh what's the reason no any ideas Mak him more angry it's making him even more Angry intentionally intentionally not intentionally it's point is he's doing it cir circum one of our obligations is to make fun of one of our obligations in the Torah is to make fun of false gods so one of the things that m is doing is technically making fun of a false god and a false person there is a statue statue yeah yeah but m is a man of Truth he's never going to go against it um and in reality he knows that uh Hashem is the one that runs the world not ham not any power and he's not going to make a sin of idol worship or any of these types of sins even though unfortunately a lot of Jews made the made the sin and bow to him which is the reason why were in this mess in the first place so Haman after at the end became a slave to M no at the end of Haman died but before this story before this whole story before Haman became so powerful he was technically supposed to be mold sleave but he he backed up he ran away um he couldn't handle it no he was a wicked wicked person didn't want to be a slave for anybody so now Haman decides okay I'm going to destroy I have this big position with the King I'm going to plan of when I should go and destroy the Jews get convinced to King to destroy the Jews remember I told you Hamman was the second richest person of all time kak was the most the richest person of all time Haman was number two he was even richer than a so ham believed in luck he didn't believe in Hashem so he made a uh a lottery of when is my luck going to be good to go against the Jews and he decided the month of adal why the month of adal because according to their Torah mosu died in ad well he didn't know if you would have read the Tor you would have seen that mosu was also born in ad he was born and died in the same day so a lot of miracles happen in ad doubt so now H comes to King aash and he says this there is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your realm their laws are different from every other people and they do not observe the king's laws therefore it is not befitting the king to tolerate them if it pleases the king let it be recorded that they be destroyed and I will pay 10,000 silver Talent into the hands of those who perform the duties for deposit in the king's treasuries so in essence what Haman is doing here he's trying to buy the king's favor he says there's this uh people they're different he doesn't say the name doesn't say Jewish people people that are scattered they're all over the place but they have this weird religion they look weird they don't obey the laws of the king and it's not uh since they don't obey the laws of the king better off to get rid of them why because one of their laws is so crazy where if they have a cup of wine and a fly goes into the cup of wine they take the they take the fly they take it out and they drink the wine but if you King touch the wine they'll throw the wine out what he's talking about if you have a young uncooked wine one of these expensive wines that are not cooked like the grape juice we drink a really good wine if a non-jew touches it you are not allowed to even give that wine to your dog but this is not discrimination against the uh against the non-jews this is also discrimination against Jews that don't keep Shabbat don't keep MIT a Jew does not keep Shabbat touches that wine the wine goes into garbage this is not the laws of rabbis this is the laws of hem why because in the old days I don't know if it's necessarily done as much today but in the old days wine was one of the major ways that the uh they would practice a idol worship they would give wine and use wine for idol worship so here is ham knew these rules he said listen King if you touch their wine they're not going to drink it they to throw it out but if a fly a fly a bug go into their wine no big deal they uh they drink it they throw the bug out and they drink the wine so bug is better than you King you shouldn't tolerate this type of uh discrimination these types of people and on top of it I'll pay you 10,000 silver talents how much is 10,000 silver talents 10,000 silver talents is 24 million oun of silver w 750 tons of silver and based on today's value of silver approximately $16 an ounce I did the math it's $384 million Haman is paying a nearly a half a billion dollars to allow him to kill the strange people that don't have a name that are dispersed everywhere that are going against the king and a bug is better than the king to them based on all this description that he just gave we lied about all this but point is this whole description why wouldn't he agree but here we see that in order to do his will Aman was the ultimate negotiator but also delivering the wakeup call from Hashem what are these three signs that he says it says so the word yesu literally means there but yesu comes from the root of the word sleeping so hasem is telling us this only thing is happening because you're all sleeping you're all sleeping in the middle of you're all sleeping you're not doing this the whole nation is not doing ch whole nation is going against hem you're sleeping he says hem is telling us here second thing he says the this this nation it's scattered and dispersed meaning that they're not together the ashkanazi hates the Safar the Safar hates ashkanazi everyone hates the yite the yanites everyone one this one is Polish this one is Russian this one is this this one is that different different problems that's not just today hasem says just like you had at the time of Cyrus I told you you're supposed to build a mdash only 42,000 people showed up no better mikdash you still don't do CH after a few years okay I'll destroy you you're not unite you're not [Applause] United what is is the significance of of you being united I said this a couple times in in the last week but it's worth it's good to include in this year also at the time of Noah the people of the world sinned by making a huge amount of sins they stole they raped they had beastiality they had homosexuality they wasted seed so on and so forth but they didn't go against God directly they went against each other but how long did it take uh Noah to build the ark like 150 years 150 years 120 years 120 years so Hashem allowed him to take that long because he wanted to give the people time to do chuva chance they didn't do Chua Hashem destroyed all of them only Noah is three sons and their three wives and Noah's wife wife and OG the king of Bashan the giant survived with the animals hasem destroyed the entire world but if you fast forward after the After the flood about 350 years you have the Tower of Babel Tower of Babel was the people of the world who knew the sons of Noah meaning they knew people that were there at the time of the flood decided that they're going to build a uh building to reach the sky and fight AEM as foolish as it sounds that's what they did they build a very very big building to go fight Hashem they weren't fighting each other they're fighting Hashem and Hashem how did he punish them he didn't kill them he just changed their language so all of a sudden everyone speaks Hebrew on one end before this happened hashem's punishment all of a sudden this guy speaks Chinese the other guy Arabic the other guy Spanish the other guy French so everyone's talking but nobody understands each other and this led to the destruction of the building but the people itself Hashem didn't the world hasem didn't destroy so when you think about it it should be the opposite the generation of Noah went against each other not against hem the generation of the Tower of Babel went against Hashem not against each other why didn't Hashem destroy them the Tower of bab why did he destroy the ones of the uh you know of of the generation of Noah this teaches us the power of unity the power of being united Hashem said listen going against me is one thing going against each other I can't tolerate it it's even worse than going against Hashem he says the generation of the the Noah they didn't go they didn't go against uh me they went against each other once they went against each other I couldn't tolerate I had to destroy them generation of of Tower of Babel even though they were going against me at least they had Unity at least they were together it's worth keeping them this is also what we learn here when the BET mikdash was supposed to be built the second bet mikdash was supposed to be built 42,000 people show up no Unity when this whole story takes place and am is nearly destroyed no Unity at the end of the story if we fast forward to the end of the story Hashem not only saves us from H and from a major disaster the way they were going to destroy in one day something that never happened before and never will happen but not only saves us but he also builds the BET mikdash The Secret is the unity H knew this he says as long as they have Hashem is not on their side the second tool that he used is cavod he went against a uh he went to convince he says oh they're going against you he going against you so he's trying to please him so he's giving him cavod cavod anyone that's Wicked that's the number one way to get to their heart and the third thing is money money obviously is the number one tool that people use today so if you got to go you got to go uh so but not only some money he's giving him $384 million $384 million is hard to uh it's hard to negotiate out of but he's also putting am in the position where they can't just talk the the king out of it it's not you tell them listen I'm going pay you more they don't have $384 million on top of that they can't give him this they can't explain they can't rebuttal this whole thing about how they got disrespected him and the last but not least is not up to them they have to change their own actions they have to change as a people so this is three tools that Hashem used against am is that uh H used against that in essence signed off on to allow it to happen to make everyone do CH as soon as the uh decree was uh was sent out found out says says learned of all that had been done and M tore his clothes and Dawn sackcloth and Ashes how did M learn about what's happened because the the actual decree that uh was made and publicized some say that it didn't say the name of the people only the inside knew what was really happening but it says actually some say that came to in a dream and told them that what's happening and that this whole decree is against the am but not only that it's against am he told them why it happened it happened because many years ago an event you all forgot about n years ago you you all went and partied with the King and enjoyed it because of that MH how do you do for CH for something you already forgot about nine years ago you don't even know so that's that's the that's the problem they have here but the good news is that hasem provided us the ability to do CH so even in this decree he said Aman decided that since everything is is based on luck in his eyes he says listen right now is Nissan we're going to have it in ad where you know the decree pretty much this whole death penalty that the king agreed to almost a year from now so it's giving Hashem is giving us a lot of time to do CH but is not waiting for a year immediately he rips his clo clothes puts on a sack puts ashes on him walks around the street crying and screaming and praying to Hashem crying to to a a in sh he's saying when asav your son the wicked son yov and asav when asav the wicked son cried to you after yov stole his Blessing you gave him a blessing anyway even as after he cried to you you answered him and you helped him out now we're going to be sold and slaughtered we're going to be killed by Haman which is a descendant of asav Amal comes from asav and Haman comes from from Amal all I could do is cry to you please help me talk to God for me because that's the only way so when you think about it for a second technically at this point modai if he used his not as T and he used today's Common Sense which is wrong you think listen my wife is my undercover wife is the queen of the world let me just tell her she tells the king that's it Kal is finished what's the problem what am I so upset about but instead of that he cries and praise and knows that the only way for salvation is through AEM why it says here in uh Jeremiah 175 chapter 17 verse 5 and thus said Hashem this hasem himself saying this a cursed is the man who trusts in people and makes flesh and blood his strength and turns his heart away from Hashem Hashem is telling us something critical here someone who instead of going to Hashem goes to relies puts all of his faith in his boss puts all of his faith in his friends puts all of his faith in his customers puts all of his faith in the president gets a special curse from Hashem there's no one worse than there's no one worse than him why because you're saying that hasem is not capable of doing of what one of his small tiny minuscule Creations can do there's no bigger than that obviously knows that he says why go to go to anybody I'm going to cry to hm because hm is the only thing that could save us out of this not man why go to the king I go to my wife go to Haman go to anybody no only hasem can take us out of this hole we're in one way we're going to know that because this is the same thing that we have as a problem already for Generations every city and every country was mourning just like modai was but it says here in every Province any place the king command the King's Command and the decree extended there was great mourning so there's a it says it's a Superfluous word meaning it's it's using the same word twice what's the significance of it it says that the further the country was from shushan from the capital of where the the uh Mal was the kinghood was the worse the mourning was meaning they mourned even more they felt worse the people that were close to the castle wasn't weren't really too worried they figured listen we're close to the castle we're close to the king they're not going to kill us we're friends we're government officials we're friends of the king we play golf together this is no different than the mistake that we've been making for Generations same mistake that the German Jews made during the Holocaust same mistake that the European Jews made during the same Holocaust same mistakes that people are making until this day in America well they think no no government officials were uh part of this organization that organization listen my friend the Japanese the Japanese there was a lot of them before World War II was officially joined with the United States mhm a lot of them in the United States the minute Japan which is a country that many of them were not even in you know Associated to anymore the minute Japan bombed America every one of those Japanese people were recruited and put into camps a lot of people don't know this all of them were put into camps and stayed there for a long time so people think that oh no listen if something shom happens against the Jewish people we're we're okay cuz we're we're friends of America or anything like that you can't trust anyone but Hashem that's that's what I'm trying to say and unfortunately people are making that mistake because what ends up happening with those types of people that have their trust in people instead of trust in Hashem what happens to them Hashem curses them and how does he curse them they're the first ones killed you see the people that had in Germany who did the Germans kill first which Jews do they kill first the ones in Poland or the ones in Germany Germany in Germany same thing so it's not it's throughout all of history not just the Holocaust all of these uh Nazis and haters of Israel today and in the past but that's just the reality but it's part it's it's our fault that's really the key here it's our fault not saying anything bad about any Holocaust Survivors or or anything like that they're all in a better place today but the reality of it is that it's written in the T if you go within my laws AEM gives you special protection ones that are righteous are in GED ones that aren't but the point is that all of this suffering comes for a reason why because we put trust in men as Book of Jeremiah says you put trust in man hasem curses you that's say simple as it againsts it's not the most pleasing thing in the world to to hear but it is truth now as soon as M walked around as he did the uh messengers of uh and the people that uh worked for Estel saw him and they reported it to Estel Estelle as soon as she heard that the sadik is walking around with a sack crying screaming with ashes on him it says means she was greatly distressed but says that actually means one of two things she either became nid on the spot she started bleeding or it's possible some people say that she actually was pregnant with the's uh baby and she had a miscarriage on the spot the it's a Biblical word it's not a normal it's not a modern Hebrew word okay greatly distressed that's theat but the uh um literal meaning means became full of Hollows she became full of holes so the explains it in uh page 15 that her stomach loosened meaning either she uh blood came out because she became n or if she was pregnant some say in says she actually um had a miscarriage mhm of stress so she called M she sent him clothes because she wanted him to come to her he's not allowed to go into the cast with his sack M did not accept him why he not accept him why he's got G he wants his sack no what's going on here it says that knew the only chance he has is he puts 100% faith in Hashem and doesn't stop praying doesn't have time to go meet with anybody he has to pray has to cry has to save is didn't want to stop he couldn't go into the castle couldn't do anything and uh the messenger was asking uh what is this about and why like why are you crying she doesn't know what's happened she doesn't know the decree happened so what kazal is telling us also in the mid is that she was actually asking that this tell us what what is this crisis in I mean is it possible that they uh why are you so bad she doesn't know about she was a very she kept her privacy she wasn't involved in government and any way she performed she was only allowed to see the king if he called her but people no this just happened this just happened so it wasn't necessarily a uh news big enough for her to know he M himself only knew from Prophecy from the prophecy okay so she was telling them is this did you did you hear something did you get a prophecy did you hear something that uh is a decree against am Isel so bad that it's like if they deny the Torah ma what's ma it says on the one side and on the other side meaning the The Ten Commandments that were written on both sides it's in Exodus so say Den the or something why what's happening why you so such morning so m is telling told her messenger not only what the decree was but why it happened it's a sin that we can't even fix right now it's a sin from many years ago all the rabbis did a and enjoyed enjoyed the party when they're partying that the BET mdash was destroyed and it's not being rebuilt we being punished for it actually m is the only one that didn't sin he's the one that told everybody not to go and he's the one that's crying more than everybody right now because no one want listen to him and he's also telling so he's telling Estelle this and he's telling also by the way even you it's not going to be just an easy conversation because there's money involved when there's money involved it's not just conversation am man paid $384 million it's a business to do this deal what are you going to do you can't give him money you don't have any money it's his money no one here has $384 million what are we going to do so he tells her listen you have to go you have to go and see the King right now and tell him not to do it beg him save our people she sent a messenger back and she says listen the king you know that the King has laws and no one is allowed including me the queen to just go see the king Uninvited so if I go there I'm making the same sin like vashti made she didn't want to come come when he invited her me going there I invited it's the same thing so I'm guaranteed to die I can't go not because I want to save myself but because it's been 30 days since he saw me so I know he's going to call me anytime soon so let's just wait a a few days he's probably going to call me in the next week why should I put everything in danger and this what uh responds teaches a lot of M it's very powerful M for today's generation of rich and religious Jews specifically in my opinion so M says he replies to EST he says do not imagine I mean like do not hallucinate in your soul that you will be able to escape the king's Palace any more than the rest of the Jews Like don't think that just because of you're Queen you're going to stay the queen when this decree is passed they probably going to kill you also but in the small chance that you survive for if you persist keeping silent at a time like this relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place but you and your family's house will perish it says if you stay quiet now M don't say anything just remember Hashem is going to save the Jews anyway he promised that he's going Our Father forever he promised he's going to protect us forever even through bad times he's not going to destroy us but you have an opportunity because of the position that you were given who knows that's the reason why you were put in this position being taken from being my wife to being the wife of this king that's a it's really the only reason why you're there that's why put you there but if you decide to not say anything don't imagine that this is a good idea because Hashem is going to save the Jews anyway and you may never have an opportunity to be the tool that Hashem used you're never going to be able to be the tool that hasem used to save the Jews but the Salvation is going to come from from another place but what does it mean by your father's house will perish he's reminding her that she is of a descendant a granddaughter of Sha Sha even though he was a very very righteous person at the end of his life he made a sin and that's why hasem took him out of this world and took to kinghood away from him but sh was a very righteous and very modest person so the says why did Shaul uh what benefit did he did what merits did he have to have such a granddaughter like uh Estelle it says because sha was very modest was a very modest man even though he was so big and he was powerful he was Head and Shoulders above everyone both spiritually and physically he was still a very modest person and he was gifted a very modest granddaughter EST still but he still finished his his story with a sin I think end of his life why because Hashem commanded for him to destroy all of Amal and sha made the mistake he said listen I'm I'll destroy all of them the Sheep but why why why kill the Sheep I can use all these sheep as corot on top of it when he got to the king a go said look go is a little scrawny little nothing why am I going to kill this guy what can he do his little guy nothing so he he let him live hasem specifically said destroy all of them so the prophet Shu came to uh rebuke sha and went to uh to the king and killed him himself and Jo never picked up a sword in his life but he went and he killed the king himself the next day the problem was that was enough time that was a few hour difference enough time for him to be with his wife and that's where Haman came from so from from from the mistake that sha EST st's grandfather made ham the same very same am that's about to destroy am was born so so he's so is telling her the mistake your grandfather made you have an opportunity either to fix it or not cuz all this is happening because of a mistake of a previous generation so now this is where the action happens so still tells m tell the entire nation to assemble to come together and everyone fast for me three days for me okay because I'm going to go and approach the king without being invited I'm going to listen you he's going to do what you said I'm going to go approach the King which means that if I perish I perish if I go to the king he doesn't like that I came That's the Law he's going to kill me on a spot but if if I die I die it's not to protect myself she says I'm doing it to protect to you know to protect AB but if you're saying that I have to do it right now I have to do it right now and if I die I die but at least have am wait fast for me three days and I will also fast with all of my meetings we're also going to fast three days to get the uh so all of is has to do CH to get theem to bring uh you know Mercy on us M does what she says he assembles all the Jews and they all start fasting after 3 days Estelle approaches the uh says now it came to pass on the third day St dressed up as she St daed royalty and stood in the in inner Courtyard says EST still means comes from the word is the so she was praying she was praying to hasem crying to hasem to help her give a uh bring mercy so the king doesn't kill her when he sees her because she's in a place she's not allowed to be without being called but the king sees her says what is it for you oh Queen Esther what is your petition even if it be until half the kingdom it shall be granted so surprisingly he was in a good mood not only a good mood he was actually ran to it he saw that she was very very she was shaking uncontrollably she was very very nervous and he ran her and he hugged her and he said what you know why are you putting your life in danger must be something important I'll give you anything you want up to half the kingdom so the first thing she says to him she says he know what's wrong with you she says when I knew that I'm was here next to your majesty I became I was overcome by high dignity she's giving him cavod she's making him feel good she pumping him up she the only thing I want is I want to invite you to a party that I'm making for you and I want you to bring hamon that's all I want so here we see if you remember before we said that Haman is using three tools to get his evil past what's the three tools right the baseless hatred that's inav he's GI gave and a lot of money and I thought something interesting here is that the solution to the problem is the same how are we getting the solution first Estel tells M assemble the nation assemble the nation that already solves the problem of if we're assembled there's no we come together there's no she's giving the king kav she's telling him listen you're you're so mighty you're so great you're so this I'm making a party for you it's only for you you and bring ham you know it's just giving him Cav and I thought man when you have AEM you don't need any money when you have AEM you don't need any money no but she has to offer him something he's offering I'm saying when you when you have AEM on your side P the bills anyway she give him back so it says she was trying to make him jealous by inviting Haman obviously she's trying to trap Aman but she's trying to specifically tell them the king bring Haman so the king's like bring Haman how do I bring Haman why are you asking for Haman but didn't exactly have the best communication between the king and the queen so he just got jealous which is perfect for this plan but one interesting thing about this verse it says uh says here in the um says that in the verse it says let the king and ham come today the word y the first letter isud the word the first letter is he first letter is V first letter is he spells aem's name so it actually says that when asks where is aem's name in the it says every time when it says without saying it's actually referring to hasem so she's really saying uh if it would please the king let the king and Haman come today meaning she's really pleading for hem really to come not uh King she's asking for Mercy from hem so they come you know the king says it's is important he left everything he was doing got Haman to uh get ready right away and he wanted to hear what's going on what's this big party she already prepared for us they go to the party wine dying this that goes whatever you want why did you make this party any up to half the kingdom I'll give you and she says to him the only thing I want the only thing I want is for you to come again tomorrow and tomorrow I'm going to tell you the secret you've been waiting since the day I met you many years ago you've been waiting to know who my people are tomorrow I'm going to tell you who they are and then I'm going to ask you for something so now this is the biggest secret in history M he's been waiting for years to find us out Haman leaves the party very happy about himself he's thinking look I thought that this whole party is going to be because she's friends with M he doesn't know she's his wife she's friends with this m guy she's probably going to talk to me about uh probably probably try to convince me to to not do it but I see that not only she not convince me but she made the whole party she only invited me she didn't invite modai so obviously she's not in a fan of Mor either really she's giving me more honor so she probably wants something from for me to do her a favor to help her out with the King about something else so he's all happy he goes uh outside and then he notices modai and modai doesn't even acknowledge Him but Aman was too proud to go after M by himself too and he went home he says listen I'm just going to destroy all of his people but now he's making me so mad I'm going to go after him I'm actually going to talk to the king and tell him that this specific guy that your advis we have to kill him so he goes to uh his family he tells them look I have all this money I have all these Sons I have all this but all of it is worthless to me all of this is worth nothing to me all the money that I have all the power that I have all of this is worth nothing to me as long as I see this modai sitting in the king's gate not that m is not bowing to him he's not going to tell anybody that he's upset about m not bowing to him he's just upset about even being in this position of where he is with for the king so Z's wife and all of his friends tell him listen b you know convince the king and tell him to to go hang him go take take these uh tall trees 50 ft long he's beams 50 ft long and uh hang them so he was really excited about it so excited he couldn't sleep he went in the middle of the night with the people to go put it in the uh you know to to to put this tree to prepare it now one of the mid abon says that they couldn't find a 50 foot beam in normal places but one of uh uh his sons by the name of uh pansa paranda uh he was actually a governor in the mountain arat and he supplied uh a a 50ft beam that they had from Noah's Ark now this obviously was written many many years ago before they made the discovery they made about maybe 15 years ago 20 years ago no it's long ago even 50 years ago but only became public in the last 15 years or so mhm which is that they found Noah's Ark where exactly where it says in the Tora Mount which is in Turkey so and and missing fims uh they don't obviously have it's not like hanging outside where they could see every single part it's inside the mountain already it's covered oh but they there's some people that went inside uh point is that you have a uh the location of it is not only written in the Torah it's also written in the mid somebody that's been there so that's that's the point um so they're building this beam that night the king tries to sleep can't sleep Hashem sends him some angels to throw him off the bed every few seconds he can't sleep he's has a bad dream before he wakes up and he has a dream that ham is uh takes takes his sword and chops his head off so he wakes up and he's starting to think about why did this stale why did my wife the queen invite Haman to uh to this party are they both trying to kill me are they both trying to do something MH maybe maybe they somebody why isn't anybody Telling Me Maybe I didn't pay somebody did me a favor in the past so they know that it's not worth it to tell me if I didn't pay somebody that did me a favor so then he wakes up and he says listen bring me my uh book of uh Memories the book of Chronicles all the people that did me favors and the uh person opens it and actually says that the person was one of Ham's Sons opens the book and he says yeah read me the first thing you open he opens the book and it's shows M saved his life from but uh he doesn't read it and he changes the page but again it appears the same thing it's a miracle shows the same thing and he says no no read me read go no one second one second he changed the page again again and again it happens now the king gets really mad he goes read me right now what you have in front of you like he's trying to see what what are you hiding from me it says it's and it was found written there that M had denounced Andes two of the king's chamberlains who sought to send their hand against the king so in the beginning it said ban Andes here it says b why because when the whole thing happened one of uh hamman's sons was actually the Scribe that would write it in the book and he didn't want M to get the credit so and also especially since his father Haman he got the credit for doing it so what did he do he says he put ores ores meaning that um went against Banes so it seems like one of the people maybe there was a mistake here instead of it being I saved the king maybe there was a mistake here maybe I killed somebody maybe the king killed somebody innocently so the miracle that happened here is that the word ban and then there and he put the the letter o o which is or Al so the uh by by Miracle moved the AL to the end of ban became and the V he moved it toes so it Sayes so it looks like he saved him from and there's no doubt that's why it's written that way but here also discovers something amazing he realizes that until this point because he didn't nobody really reminded him of these people nobody reminded him the morai was the one it was just written in the book up to now Haman was constantly taking the credit for doing it for saving the King's life so you realized that the Haman is a uh it's really a you know doesn't deserve all this credit that he's getting next as soon as and especially since he had this bad dream on top of that right at that moment he hears noise outside who's the noise outside it's h building the uh the the the the pole to to hangai says who is it make them come over here and says no it's Haman so he says okay what's going on here so he says okay ham how would you honor someone that the king really loves really uh did a b big favor to the king so Aman immediately thinks to himself which actually shows that the writer of this had because it says now ham said in his heart how could you know what somebody's heart is thinking Wicked people no but the point is that the person that wrote The M had to know what ham was thinking to himself because it wasn't said somewhere meaning that Haman was thinking in his heart mhm so uh H man is immediately thinking about what he wants for himself so what does he say he's like oh no you should bring the uh the crown your crown should be put on him so he like I saw this in a dream he had my crown and your clothing and also should be on a horse that you rode your horse and you should have somebody walk him and saying this this is what shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor this is the for a person that the king wants to give him cavod this is what he gets so now the king is even more convinced that Haman wants to do all this he goes okay do all of that for modai go which modai there's a lot of mod was the Jew he says which M the Jew who sits in the king's gate that specific one Aman came to uhai and he's going to try you know modai is in sack looking like a mess like I have to give you all this uh uh respect now for one day goes yeah but uh listen I need to get a haircut so I need you to cut my hair he goes I don't know how to hair I don't know to hair go no no no my friend says says to no no I know your past nobody knows here but before you became a general you used to cut hair like the rest of your family you're a barber you're poor little Barber so cut my hair so he made him cut his hair dressed him and uh to climb on the horse he climbed on him kicked him a few times made him suffer but uh now the most interesting part of the punishment of what happened is actually how hasm shows us how the pride go comes before the fall right before this Haman was on cloud nine he got the decree that he wanted against the Jews he has the money he showed everybody off that he has all of it he got invited to this dinner M didn't get invited and now hasem is quickly very very quickly showing how the pride comes before the big fall he raises you to the top to really really really really high and when you're Wicked he brings you even higher just to make sure the fall is even bigger so now quickly he wents from building the tower to hang morai to now he's walking morai with the horse and telling everybody that this is the respect you give somebody that the king uh uh loves and uh his daughter sees this now M was embarrassed of this whole thing so what did he do he didn't want anybody to know that he's the one that's walking M so he cuz he he put modai with the clothes of the king and he took M's sack and he put it on himself so nobody could recognize him so is so his daughter thought that it's actually M walking walking her father walking her man so she takes the bathroom a bucket of the bathroom and she pours it and lands on her father father as soon as he sees that as soon as he you know the bathroom falls on him and he looks up and she sees it's a father she jumps off the roof and commits suicide W this is in page 16 instead of to say oops sorry no no oops no sorry no nothing the embarrassment sometimes is the uh not sometimes embarrassment they say both in this world and the next world is the biggest punishment Rabbi ala that saw the other side and other people that uh even non-jews many millions and millions of non-jews that had clinical death and went in front of the uh the bedine every single person says the worst part about it is the embarrassment embarrassment because now you know the truth because you're over there there's no oh I forgot oh I didn't know as soon as you arrive to the other side your n already knows everything he knows all of the sins and knows the truth of Torah so it knows where you stand so that's the worst part of all of it the embarrassment of of of of all the sins we made as soon as this whole situation is over modai returns to the king's gra puts back the sack because he realizes that okay this was my last shot I thought thought that maybe the one thing I'll be able to do is since the king never paid me for saving his life many years ago maybe now if he sees me in my sack he's going to ask me what happened I can tell him this what happened save us but now since he gave me this Honor by walking with the horse and everything that I just got now I know for sure I can't rely on anybody and only on hasem so he goes back he puts the sack starts praying to hasem all over again like enough nothing happened and Haman shows up at his house it says it says with his head covered his head covered with poop from his daughter from his daughter's uh uh throwing it out the window so he tells so as soon as he SE soon as he sees uh his family and they see him all disheveled they realize okay everything is their God is getting involved says if modai is of Jewish descent you will not Prevail against him but will undoubtedly fall before him so they already all of his dear friends all of a sudden they don't they're not called his friends anymore mhm they uh in the beginning when they first mention his friends it says they called him his lovers his friends but now when they're telling him that now he's going to this obviously this whole thing is not bad luck because modai is a righteous Jew now they're called wise men they're called um K they called K same people m m says somebody says something uh true they're considered wise um but also you see here that as soon as they saw the tides of turn immediately they left the ship but even before he was able to change even before he was able to clean himself up immediately it says while they were still talking with him the king's chamberlains arrived and they hurried him to to bring Haman to the banquet which a stair is prepared to the second dinner so while he still has all this disgusting stuff on him they said listen you can't be L the king it's not a joke take him with him so already is he arriving to this dinner the king is already disappointed seeing this his number two guy that he's having bad dreams about and everything he sees them with all the stuff this how you show up to the Queen's the Queen's dinner Y and he tells the queen okay what is it that you want up to half the kingdom you can have and she says if I found favor in your eye please don't kill me and don't kill my people if you would have so because we've been sold me and my people you've always wondered who I am and who my people are we're the people that were sold and now we're not only sold we're going to be exterminated we're going to be destroyed if we were just sold I would have just kept quiet because you know who are we whatever we just got sold we're just slaves it's not worth it enough to bother the king about it but here there's someone that wants to to destroy us I'm pleading with the King don't kill us who wants to kill you who wants to kill my dear Queen who Dar to do this says the man who's the ad adversary and the enemy is the wicked Haman the one with the sitting right next to you with the poop Aman was put in a spot in a ho he can't get out of Amad was put in the same situation as the Nash in bit when Haman if Haman was in front of only one of them he can weasel his way out if it was just in front of EST he said no I didn't mean to I didn't know you were Jewish I wouldn't have pass if you were Jewish if he was just in front of the king also you can say oh listen a uh you have to know that the uh the Jewish people are really bad people but now he can't use both of those arguments and still stay alive so he was putting a situation putting him in a situation that he had both of them and he can't respond even he can't defend himself this is the same thing that Hashem did with the Nash after the the snake um said about and and convinced uh Adam and to eat from the Tree of knowledge when Hashem came to Adam he said who you know what' you do and he says no it's because of the wife you gave me he said okay what did you went to what did you do he goes no it's because of the Nash and he didn't even ask the Nash he didn't ask the serpent anything he says immediately cursed him why because he knew that if you would asked him what did you do he would have actually would have actually had a good excuse you created me this way or something like that so Hashem put him in a spot where he cursed him immediately and he has no way to get out of because what he did was evil and uh hasem does not have the interest in letting before all that the Nash was the ruler of all the animals no he the uh he just finished the first one finished the first one it's big books like 500 pages no no no I didn't finish that but I heard it from you talk serious about success my serious about success No Hands no legs so after the king finds out he runs out uh you know he's gets really really heated he walks out and during this time the uh one of the Angels come comes and pushes Haman on top of uh of uh EST so the king walks he's sticking himself wait a minute this Haman he's the same one that many years ago convinced me to kill my last wife I can't Rusty I can't leave him with my wife so he runs right back and as soon as he runs back he sees him on top of his wife on top of his St puts him in a bigger hole and then dresses up asona is one of the uh chamberlains and um says to the king uh you know Haman is uh making a tree to hang your friend you know the one that saved your life M right at the SEC same second yeah that one yeah he's um making a treat to hang him your friend so together putting him in a deeper deeper hole warming him up and The King The King says go hang him there hang h on there and that's what they did again we see how this whole thing this whole story could have never happened without a how so in the beginning of the story when Haman advised to change the rules of the Kingdom he told them change the rules just don't have any advisors if you want to ask us ask us if you don't to ask us don't ask us just do what you want you're the king you rule 127 countries why because if you have to ask advisors then hamama knew that later on when he wants to ask him for something he has to convince other people too but if it's just the king and the King can make a decision then all I got to do is convince him of whatever I want and it's just one-on-one so Aman is doing it for his own interest but if as long as he has advisors even if I'm one of those advisers I have to convince the other 10 people or 20 people so he convinced to change the law in order to make the king completely Rule and dominate everything that very same weasel move that he made was the only reason why the end of the story is as such where as soon as the king decided to kill his number two Guy this is obviously usually a thing you have to talk to advisor about he didn't talk to anybody he killed them on the spot without asking anyone impuls because because told him to do that way right so but this shows how before before we even knew that Haman was a problem before we even knew that the entire nation of Israel had a problem to at the entire we see that hasem already provided the Cure before the ailment before we knew we were sick he already had the medicine and this is the major that we have to learn from the entire this is the basis of the overall story there's a few other details after it and obviously that we didn't cover but overall this is is the major part of the of of the that in our life today it's very very easy to feel alone when you're not learning to every day when you're not learning toah every day it's very easy to get stuck in your problems oh I have to wake up really early tomorrow because I have work because I have to go to work really early because I have to make money and I have to make money because I have to pay the mortgage I have to pay the mortgage because I have to keep this house and da and all these things that build up in our head and how we are responsible for doing all of these things and how everything else is more important than and there's no worse thing that we can do because that feeling that we get when we're doing everything on one end it's good because we're thinking oh okay I'm getting stuff done I'm fixing this I'm fixing this I'm working I'm doing all of this stuff but unfortunately that feeling doesn't last because when the check doesn't come in on time or when we lose a little bit of money or we don't get paid or something like that then we realize that all of that work we did was for nothing MH on the other hand when we know that regardless of what we do we're going to make our best effort but regardless of what we do upon a size from sh whatever hasem decides to give us that's what we're going to get whatever our actions dictate that's what we're going to get when we realize that everything is in the hands of hem then the thought even that our effort to work and deal with materialism ever comes before to would never even go into our mind why because we know that it's coming from him anyways so might as well do more of what he wants then he'll give me p in another way and that's the main thing that we have to understand if we do what Hashem wants he'll show us the medicine that he already had for us cuz the medicine already exists how you going to make the money that you want to make he already has how you going to become healthy he already has the Cure how you going to solve your problems he already has the solution before you even know you have a problem once you do what he wants I'll open the closet and I'll show you exactly where it is but unfortunately as long as we're not doing what he wants as long as we don't have Unity as long as we don't have love amongst each other as long as we're not doing as long we're not putting him before we M before money he's not going to show us where it is when we do we could see the very same miracle that saw in every day in our life a personalized one just like they all got in their generation any questions and everyone everyone have an amazing have a great break on and we send you some more from from Israel
