Transcript
- 0:00And themes to flay out throughout the entire story.
- 0:03Bartu de Marar and myself and Mikhila has a bunch of rabbis.
- 0:07Each rabbis starts faults the topic when he analyzes the
- 0:10Mikhila and he brings his fasuk to have his angle into the
- 0:14entire story. There are many stories within
- 0:17one Mikhila 1 is the story of prayer.
- 0:20The other one of the story is challenge.
- 0:21The other one is the story of Hayashems hidden secrets behind
- 0:25the thing. Another story is the story of
- 0:27how everything that's going bad really is good, and many
- 0:31different angles can make it up. Let's try a new angle.
- 0:33All right, last year we did. I don't know if you remember,
- 0:36but last year we did. How it turns out that Haman was
- 0:40more or more the highest slave from the very beginning, and
- 0:43that turned the entire story on his head.
- 0:45Let's try a new one this year. Basuka opens up by Hebe
- 0:49Mehrhosh. It was in the days of a
- 0:53Hashirosh. And then we repeat those words
- 0:56who Akash Rush, He is the man Akash Rush Hamoulech Nahoduvaat
- 1:01Kush, who is the king from one city called Hodu to another city
- 1:06called Kush. Sheva VE sine Umea Medina is
- 1:10actually the king of 127 cities. That's the first basuk in the
- 1:14Miguela. And this basuk right away opens
- 1:17up a bunch of stories. Number one by he is a negative
- 1:21tense, so there is higher, but he is a negative term.
- 1:28So we're starting with the fact that this story, the fact that
- 1:33we are living your entire of a Hashirosh that is that has some
- 1:38negativity too, right? That's Part 1.
- 1:41It's a bad time because the Hashirosh is king.
- 1:44That's how the story starts. Hua Hashirosh hamodo moh moh
- 1:49moh. Second, the word hamoler means,
- 1:55said Rashi. He wasn't your typical
- 1:58definition of king where he came into it.
- 2:01He came from the right family. No, no, no.
- 2:04He married Amy. He's a very wealthy person and
- 2:07he married into the royal family.
- 2:09He was a self-made king. He's not your natural king with
- 2:13a lineage. He has no lineage, no history.
- 2:15self-made king. Fact OK and this is considered a
- 2:19bad time. Why is it a bad time that
- 2:21Hayashow is king? Nothing started yet.
- 2:23So the rabbi is right. Hayashow is wasn't just king
- 2:27over 127 promise provinces provinces.
- 2:31He was really the king. It happened to be over every
- 2:36single Jew that existed, which means his 127 promises included
- 2:44housed every Jew. He wasn't the king of the entire
- 2:47world. By the time his story plays out,
- 2:49he wasn't the king of the whole world.
- 2:51He was just the king of 127 countries.
- 2:53But at the same time, it so happens to be that all 127.
- 2:58How is the Jewish people? And that's the negativity.
- 3:00Why is that negativity? The reason that the challenge is
- 3:04the following thing writes the rabbi.
- 3:06Is writes to Madash. There have been many kings who
- 3:09wanted to destroy the Jewish people but they usually all had
- 3:13a problem. The problem always was they
- 3:16don't have them all under their reign.
- 3:18But he even Mayor Kosh. It was a sad time, was a bad
- 3:22time being under the control of a Hoshi Rosh because he was the
- 3:26king who happened to be the one that ruled from Oduva Kush which
- 3:31was 127 countries. Now little detail to keep in
- 3:35mind before the story plays out and we have to get to a theme in
- 3:39a minute. Next detail is this, at one time
- 3:44this man was king of the whole world.
- 3:45At one time he was king of the whole world.
- 3:49And he lost some power and went down to the 1:27.
- 3:55So why is it relevant that at one time he was king of the
- 3:58whole world? And I went down to 127
- 4:00countries. Where does that make a
- 4:01difference? And say the rabbi says there's
- 4:04seven megalosis that he listened to this point.
- 4:06He is a hush, a rush, as we'll see, was the enemy of our
- 4:10people. He wanted to destroy us.
- 4:12We'll see you soon. You think it's Haman?
- 4:14It turns out the real man is the king himself.
- 4:16He aids us even more, as we'll see.
- 4:19And one of the big signs that he had to inspire him to attempt to
- 4:25destroy us was the following factor at one point.
- 4:29If he was king of the whole world, then it went down, he
- 4:32lost some Realty, then it went, he lost some power.
- 4:35It went down to 127. And yet even when it went down
- 4:38to 127, he still happened to have under this control every
- 4:42single solitary Jew. And for him that was an
- 4:46inspiration that he could take us down.
- 4:48Now we need to understand why he wanted to take us down.
- 4:52What was the mindset behind Kashi Rush and what was his
- 4:54method? He started with the part of what
- 4:56was his method. Let's go a little more.
- 5:00When it says the word ahashirush, the rabbi says that
- 5:03might not have been his real name, many of other names, but
- 5:05the name hinted to the fact that during his time the Jewish
- 5:10people were rash. Rash means poor.
- 5:14He made us Hazit. He made us into Hazi people.
- 5:20As we'll see, this man has a theme, and this theme will hurt
- 5:23us. His theme is going to be he's
- 5:26going to build up his power in a certain way, he's going to
- 5:30diminish the power of other people in a certain way and
- 5:33that's going to be esteem to destroy us.
- 5:35Let's see how it goes, what happens by I'm in Miami during
- 5:39those times. Kisheva tamela hachirosh al
- 5:43quisena matuto Pasuk says the words as he sat on his throne.
- 5:50A Sherbi Shoshana Beera. It is the way you're talking.
- 5:55As he sat on his throne, he threw a party.
- 5:58What's as he sat on his throne. So it's important to know that
- 6:02this man was building his throne.
- 6:05Whose throne was he copying? He was copying Shalamar and
- 6:08Maelstrom. But where was it being built?
- 6:10It was being built in Shushan. Shushan Habeda.
- 6:15OK, Shushan Habeda was not really a capital city.
- 6:21What was Shushan most famous for at the time, before Ahay Shosh
- 6:25had his throne and then his palace built around his throne
- 6:28in that city, You know what was most famous for?
- 6:32It was the Jewish capital of the world.
- 6:34It was in the modern day Lakewood, Benet, Brock,
- 6:40Yoshalayim. Specifically this city.
- 6:43Shushan was a city where More Than High happened to live is
- 6:47San Adini's main headquarters. Those people were there and he
- 6:51built his throne there. Why?
- 6:56Why do you have this throne built and this thing built there
- 6:59in the Jewish city? And this will explain a little
- 7:01bit of this sinister mindset behind the Khashoggi.
- 7:05The answer is this. Khashoggi's approach was to try
- 7:09to take us, take our leadership, take our glory and take it down.
- 7:15That was his approach. He wanted to prompt himself up
- 7:19by taking us down. And remember he was a self-made
- 7:22king. He didn't have a regular royal
- 7:23background. He needed to build his royal
- 7:25background. So how is he going to prop
- 7:27himself up by taking us down? The method will be destroy what
- 7:33we consider sacred. That was his approach.
- 7:36So for starters, he's building his palace, his headquarters,
- 7:41he's building it in Shushan. The term Habira is also a term
- 7:47that use for you, inshallah, the usual line, the use of habita at
- 7:50similar term. What's the idea?
- 7:53We have a headquarters of holiness and he wanted to turn
- 7:56Shushan into the headquarters of Imperi.
- 7:59That was his goal. Now what do you see his
- 8:02approach? What do you see develop?
- 8:04So it tells us as he sat on a throne in this city, he made a
- 8:09party. Bishnach Shalosulu Mohor.
- 8:12During the third year of his reign he made a party.
- 8:15What's what's so special about the third year?
- 8:17You see the story develop what was special with the third year
- 8:20of his reign, San Hazaka established The answer is this.
- 8:27Akash sure she was waiting. The Gamal tells us he was
- 8:30waiting for a certain time before he fully tried to wipe
- 8:34out our glory. That was his goal.
- 8:37What was his plan? He needed to weigh the number.
- 8:40Number was 70 years since the destruction of the Bethemagosh.
- 8:44He needed to wait 70 years from the destruction of Bethemagosh
- 8:48because he knew that Hashem had predicted that I've here
- 8:50predicted and at the seven-year instruction about the Makdash
- 8:54Hakadosh by The Who is going to redeem us?
- 8:59There you go. Akasho has knew that officially
- 9:03at the seven years Hashem is going to redeem US.
- 9:07Seven years came. When was the calculation of 70
- 9:10years year #3 in His reign? So by year 3 in his reign, he's
- 9:16starting to get this war rolling.
- 9:18What is the bull that's getting rolling?
- 9:20He's establishing in Shushan. He's going to bring impurity,
- 9:23he's going to bring sin. He's going to start to remove
- 9:27from us things that we consider sacred.
- 9:30And that will be the core theme of his party.
- 9:33It says Vishnat Shaloshala Mohor in the third year of his reign
- 9:38Assam Ishteh, he made a party, the whole sarab, the Avadaf, all
- 9:43his officers and his servants, hell, Parasu Madai, all the
- 9:47different offices and then the pasuk, says Behar Otto.
- 9:52By this party he was showing off ET Oshrid Quevod Mahutto,
- 9:59showing off the wealth and the honor of his Kingdom, Vettikar
- 10:05de Ferrat Hudulato, and he's showing off the glory, the grand
- 10:10door of us to fed it. The pasuk says the word Kabul
- 10:15and says the word to fed it. First they came out.
- 10:18You know what Al Hashir is showing off by the party.
- 10:20You know what he was wearing by this party?
- 10:23He's wearing the garments of the Cohen Gadot.
- 10:26He was using the vessels that he had in his treasure House of the
- 10:31original destroyed Bethlehem and Dash.
- 10:33He's using them by his party. Why is he using these things by
- 10:36the party? Is he crazy?
- 10:37Just Tom, He wants to be weird. Why is he wearing?
- 10:41Why does he come out to this party with the garment of the
- 10:43quake Nadal? Why is he using the vessels of
- 10:47the Bethel Mcdosh? The answer is the purpose and
- 10:51the theme of this party was to develop and display.
- 10:56And our glory is gone. The seven years since the last
- 10:59Bethel Mcdosh has been destroyed.
- 11:01Time is officially up for the rebuilding to begin.
- 11:04It hasn't begun. He's trying to destroy in our
- 11:08minds the grandeur of being a Jew, the beauty of our Bethel
- 11:12Mcdash. We know that Bethel Mcdash is
- 11:14supposed to be the most beautiful building in the world.
- 11:17The issue line, when it's built up, is the most beautiful city
- 11:20on earth. And he was trying to say, I'm
- 11:22the wealthy one now I'm the king.
- 11:25Now I wear the garments of the Grand Gadolf.
- 11:28And therefore you people are weak.
- 11:31Akashi Rosh means, as we told you before, the people, the
- 11:34Jewish people during that time were rash.
- 11:36We were considered hazit vis a vis in comparison to his glory.
- 11:41That was his goal. That was the goal of the party.
- 11:44OK. He has a theme.
- 11:46He wants to make us a hazy. Huh?
- 11:47Why did you pick on the Jews? Why did you pick on the Jews?
- 11:50So there are different approaches.
- 11:52Either he's an enemy of ours, like Haman, part of the same
- 11:56camp, or when the rabbis bring it.
- 11:59Is that one thing I should do was that he was a student of
- 12:03history and as a student of history he was aware the world
- 12:07goes hand in hand. If the Jews are up, no other
- 12:11Kingdom is going to be up. And if I want to be the ruler of
- 12:15the world, we told you he was a self-made king and he was not
- 12:19really secure in his pants and he was really developing.
- 12:22He was developing his role and because he was not secure,
- 12:25that's why he was so dedicated and focused on this picture,
- 12:29because he was, he knew I have to take the Jews and their glory
- 12:32down. I have to take their respect of
- 12:35the Torah, doubt, the respect of their rabbis down.
- 12:38And when I do that, I can therefore have an opening for
- 12:41myself to be up. And that was really the purpose
- 12:43of the party, as we'll explain. He had his party going for how
- 12:47many days, 180 days over Mulati Ali Maela.
- 12:51Imagine half a year party or Mulati Ali Maela after that
- 12:56initial party. Now we have a question.
- 12:59Why did he make two parties? First he made one for the
- 13:02officers, the whole all the provinces and then he made a
- 13:07party for the locals. Why two?
- 13:12What was the goal? And who are the locals?
- 13:15The Jewish people? Why is he throwing the party for
- 13:16Jewish people? The answer is Akash Rush wanted
- 13:20to destroy our glory and the way to destroy our glory in order to
- 13:24build himself up was first to put on full display by this
- 13:28party. He's grand, got dog garments.
- 13:30He's using the grand bedroom without vessels as well.
- 13:35He has to make us seem weak. How is he going to get us to be
- 13:38seen weak? The seven day party they threw
- 13:41in Shushan, the goal of that one is 1 purpose and one purpose
- 13:46only. A seven day event in Shushan
- 13:49after the 180 day party was making.
- 13:53The purpose of that one was you go to Hazard Shalom, you go to
- 13:57Lakewood, you go to be Iraqi, you go even here in Brooklyn, NY
- 14:00and you throw a crazy party. What's the goal?
- 14:03His goal was to get us to full. That was his goal.
- 14:07So why 180 and then seven rabbits like this?
- 14:11The 1st 180 they pardoned because they needed to get
- 14:15everyone in all those countries, all the official people, all the
- 14:19governments on board with his plan. 180 days.
- 14:23He's giving them feasts, he's throwing craziness, he's giving
- 14:26them everything. He gets them all on board.
- 14:29Now it's time for the main part. Now it's part time for the seven
- 14:34days. That's the connection.
- 14:39When he filled out Hayami, my illness, when he completed his
- 14:43job of getting everyone on board.
- 14:46Asaha Miller, the King Ahashirosh made Lehola for all
- 14:51the people. I'm the same.
- 14:53Be Shushan all the arm. Which arm are we talking about?
- 14:56AMI Sam, He threw a party for us in the city of Shushan in the
- 15:02religious city where the San Andin was removed.
- 15:04The high was as they was. Beshanna bida le migadol the ad
- 15:09catan. He threw a party for the big
- 15:12until the small. We'll see what that is in a
- 15:14second mishter. Shivat Yamim 7 days.
- 15:19Why it was by 7 days? What's the goal of 70s Shabbat?
- 15:25He wanted to get to Shabbat. What he wanted to do Ahashima.
- 15:29So you just start on Friday? Here's what he wanted to do.
- 15:32He wanted he wanted to take every single day of the week and
- 15:38remove our zohyacht, our merit from each day.
- 15:42So Sunday can't offend us and Monday can't offend us.
- 15:45Tuesday can't offend us. Wednesday, Thursday, and the
- 15:48pinnacle was supposed to be Shabbat and Shabbat is that one
- 15:52of our biggest merits? And his goal was on Shabbat.
- 15:56This will be the climax after the 180 day party where you got
- 16:00all the officers on board and now it's seven day fire.
- 16:02You got all the Jews sinning by the climax on Shabbat till you
- 16:06get us to fall. Sam, very well thought through.
- 16:10He's ready to go. He's this close to the finish
- 16:12line. This goes to the finish line.
- 16:14What happens? Seven day party.
- 16:16We said it was for the big until the small, the Godol at Catan,
- 16:22who's the Gadot? And we refer to a great man.
- 16:26What do we call him among our people?
- 16:28Gadol Aldor said the rabbis. He wanted to take down our gord,
- 16:34so he first got busy with the bed and the dashta.
- 16:38But his main theme was let me remove the honor of the rabbis,
- 16:43because if I remove the honors of the ghazolim of the rabbis,
- 16:47now I have a straight pathway to do what I want to the people.
- 16:51So I'm removing the honor and the cavodo, the rabbis.
- 16:54Because overall he wants to make it that nobody honors anything
- 16:57but him. Remember, he's a self-made king
- 17:00and because he's a self making, he's developing his glory.
- 17:03He knows the way to do that is to diminish ours.
- 17:06And a big part of that is get rid of our batim dash and get
- 17:09rid of our rabbis. That's the me Gadot.
- 17:12The party was for the greats, Vodkatan, Bahatsar, Ginat,
- 17:19Bittan Hamel. He made his party in the Hatzar,
- 17:23which is in the Hatzar. He made it in the garden.
- 17:27He made it in the home. Not to get too graphic.
- 17:30What's what does it mean? He made it in the garden, the
- 17:34Indian courtyard, the garden in the home.
- 17:38The answer is by this party we'll get to the kosher, to the
- 17:41food in a second. We'll see if the food is kosher.
- 17:44Different opinions by this party.
- 17:47He made available every sin and the idea of having different
- 17:52degrees of privacy was based on That's why it's hot Said, which
- 17:56is Public Garden, which is a little bit more private, and
- 18:00Bias, which is a little more private.
- 18:02The idea was he was giving them basically different options and
- 18:06levels of SIM. Chris's goal was to take us
- 18:09down. That was the goal.
- 18:11Horde Carpas had all different colors and all different gold
- 18:14and silver, all different beautiful people there.
- 18:17It was a complete and total mess.
- 18:20Then the Basu says he gave us a drink in golden goblets.
- 18:24Those were from the bed to Makash and it says he gave a lot
- 18:29of wine. The ashtiya kadat, he gave us a
- 18:34drink Kadat. Where does kadat mean?
- 18:38He gave us a drink? Says Rashi.
- 18:40Says Makash. According to the Torah and
- 18:46honest, no pressure. He gave us a drink of coring to
- 18:51the Torah and no pressure. That was the rule of the king.
- 18:56Ki Ken ye Saddam melek a coral beto.
- 19:00That was the rule. He got to give khurzon ishwa
- 19:03ish. Give a coin to the willingness
- 19:06and the interests of each man. What does that mean?
- 19:08He gave us according to the rules of the Torah.
- 19:11Since when? There's a hashilosh who tried to
- 19:13tear apart our Torah? Since when does he care about
- 19:18giving us according to the rules of Aratura?
- 19:19That's what I mean. So one shot is that the Torah
- 19:24holds you drink more than you should eat, and he gave us more
- 19:27drinks than food by the party. The other shot is this.
- 19:32He was a very clever man. Question, Was it OK to go to
- 19:38that party or not? Was it OK or not to go to that
- 19:41party? What do you know?
- 19:44Based on your education, your history, you've learned that
- 19:46it's not OK to go to the party, right?
- 19:48If that party was thrown today, according to many opinions,
- 19:52there would be do exactly. There would be major controversy
- 19:57whether you should be going to that party or not.
- 19:59Why? Because the king is throwing it.
- 20:03According to many, he was a good king for the Jewish people at
- 20:05the time. According to many, it was kosher
- 20:08food, kosher wine. Why not go?
- 20:14Why not go? Because according to Halaha, you
- 20:16now let it go and eat with a goi.
- 20:19You can't have wine with a goi with Halaha.
- 20:24So basically telling me, according to the Ha Ha meme,
- 20:27according to the rabbi, we shouldn't go to this party, even
- 20:32though we're doing really nothing wrong technically, and
- 20:35even though technically we're being smart because we're, you
- 20:39know, getting close to the king or making the king happy.
- 20:41But the rabbis don't want us to go to the party.
- 20:43That was the conversation at the time.
- 20:45More the high was like this lone solitary voice saying don't go,
- 20:50don't go. They didn't listen to him and
- 20:51they went, why is it relevant to the fact that he gave them wine
- 20:56and food according to the Torah? Because the high source is very
- 21:00small. I'm not going to give him on
- 21:03kosher. Some of that seems they gave on
- 21:05kosher. Well, go with them.
- 21:06I'm not going to get them on kosher.
- 21:07I'm not going to get them on kosher wine, kosher food, kosher
- 21:12wine. Bring your mashquia, bring your
- 21:15mashquia, bring all that you need.
- 21:18But the honey do not allow you to sit with the Goya and eat and
- 21:20drink. You're not going to have meat
- 21:22with the Goya. You're not going to have wine
- 21:23with the Goya. So what is the hashir is doing?
- 21:27He's doing as the basuk says, la sot quizzon ish vaish.
- 21:34Every man, every Jew can do as they wish.
- 21:37No need for the rabbis, no need for the hakamim.
- 21:40And he's tearing down who we consider sacred.
- 21:43That was his genius plan and the sin of going to the party.
- 21:48The reason it was considered even debatable sin was because
- 21:51it was that it was something that the Hakamim say no, but
- 21:55logic said yes and they went and that was really the opening of
- 22:01the door to our punishment. That's the story that's Akash is
- 22:04playing. It's all about destroy them.
- 22:05They. 'D have to go with the Kingdom.
- 22:07So that's really the controversy and what the Heiser don't go,
- 22:09you can't go, you're not let it go.
- 22:11And they said we have to go and they went and that led to the
- 22:14story. All right, now keep going a
- 22:16little more. The 7th day of the party, like
- 22:19we said, the climax. Vashti herself also makes a pod.
- 22:23Akashwash calls her in. Basuk says he's good and drunk,
- 22:29very drunk. Kitov Lev, he's completely dug
- 22:33and stupor and now he calls. He tells everyone I'm bringing a
- 22:38Vashti. She's not going to be dressed,
- 22:40only a world of crown. I want to show off her Butte.
- 22:44Now he's out of his mind, right? He's completely out of his mind.
- 22:48He's very competitive. There was a big conversation
- 22:50going on. But what's the plan?
- 22:52What kind of plan is that? What in the world do you think?
- 22:55So we were telling you he was an insecure king.
- 22:59He was trying to establish himself as the man.
- 23:02He was insecure from the Jewish people, as we said to Beth
- 23:05Mcgosh, trying to make it like a standard thing.
- 23:07He's trying to destroy our connection to rabbis.
- 23:09We have nothing to say in career.
- 23:10He's the only leader at the world.
- 23:12And he was even insecure from his own wife.
- 23:16Why was he insecure from his wife?
- 23:18She was. She was because.
- 23:19She was royal, he was not. She came from the royal family.
- 23:23He did not. And in order to show who's boss,
- 23:28this is our approach for this year.
- 23:29In order to show who's boss, he's asked telling her to come.
- 23:34He's demanding that she comes. She has to come the way he
- 23:37likes. He could show her off and he
- 23:39could prove that he's boss. That is the approach.
- 23:42At the same time, it's these seven of the party.
- 23:45It's Shabbat. He's getting the Jews people to
- 23:48sin on Shabbat, and he's getting mission accomplished on both
- 23:52fronts. He's destroying us and he's
- 23:53destroying her by making himself seem like the main king.
- 23:58That's the plan. And here's the first little
- 24:02snafu. As they say to his plan, what
- 24:04happens to malloc gets involved. The Josh tells us, is the malloc
- 24:09uninvolved? Neither have, you know, whatever
- 24:11blisters or a tail, whatever else, or you didn't want to
- 24:16come. And he got furious.
- 24:18Why was he so Burning Man? What'd she tell him?
- 24:23You know what she told him. Remember what she told him?
- 24:27She told him he's a little stable boy.
- 24:30This is you just sent back to him, you stable boy.
- 24:34My you ready? My father, she says.
- 24:38She says my father could drink a crazy or not and nothing would
- 24:42happen to him. Something like this.
- 24:44You have a little wine and you lost your mind.
- 24:47So she's literally playing into the fact that he has no
- 24:51background, he's not royal, he's not worth anything.
- 24:55And she's hitting directly at his insecurities.
- 24:58And that's why he's so burning mad because she's directly
- 25:01messing up his plan. And this is when the story
- 25:05stops. To take a turn doesn't get
- 25:06better for us. It gets worse first.
- 25:08But This Is Us taking a turn. But Sue says, he says to Binyam
- 25:13Vashti, we're reeling the crown shore for beauty.
- 25:17She denies and he's burning. May he tells his advisors, go
- 25:25ahead. What's your decision?
- 25:28Tell us his advisors. By the way, just so you know, he
- 25:34first tried to get rabbis to help him.
- 25:37He knew that maybe they can come up and see.
- 25:39He was really stuck with your rock and a hard place.
- 25:41He didn't want to lose his glory.
- 25:43So he really did not want to allow her to get away with
- 25:46Amerisen. At the same time, he didn't want
- 25:48to lose her because she was the most beautiful person on earth,
- 25:52and she also was royalty. He was stuck with you in a rock
- 25:55and a hard place, and he was trying to get out of it.
- 25:57And he asked about Souk says you're the IA team, the people
- 26:01who know the times, the rabbis. Give me an idea.
- 26:03What's the plan? What should be her decision?
- 26:06What should be her punishment? She was not shot, right?
- 26:08She was worse than him, yes. But it's going to say that she
- 26:11had a thing for yes, the. Gemal says what she was getting
- 26:16was Medak and Egemidah could she had had as a sicko.
- 26:20She had the Jewish girls as her maids and they had to work and
- 26:24serve her, not dressed and they had to serve her on Shabbat.
- 26:28And because of that she was embarrassed by being called
- 26:31undressed and she died because of that embarrassment.
- 26:35So really she got what was coming to her.
- 26:36She was worse than him, but al Qaeda didn't want to kill her.
- 26:40So he has his advisors. You had the I-18.
- 26:43They called people who knew the times.
- 26:45He asked the rabbis. The Bennish guy says, by the
- 26:48way, you know why he asked the rabbis, because he knew a
- 26:51regular, regular judges are just going to say killer.
- 26:53It's a simple open chuckies. You know, the rabbis can do
- 26:57this. This is what he says rabbis can
- 27:00do back and forth and come up with a hop.
- 27:03And he said to himself, I need a hop at this moment.
- 27:07But the rabbis backed away from the case.
- 27:10And he said, if we say killer tomorrow, he's going to get
- 27:14sober. He's going to kill us.
- 27:16If we say don't kill her, we don't have an answer that he
- 27:18wants right now. So they said we don't know
- 27:20anymore. We lost our wisdom, don't go to
- 27:22us. We were partying to us exactly,
- 27:24man, our work, MI gadol. So he went to other advisors and
- 27:30the Basu says Ayome, he has someone to do Ayome Mimuhani,
- 27:37introduction to the new guy who's Mehmuhan?
- 27:41Mehmuhan is Haman. He's a man who's Muhan who's
- 27:45prepared for challenge. He's a problem, Ayoman Ruhan
- 27:49Lofnia, Merak Bahasarin. Haman pipes up in front of the
- 27:55king and all the other officers. Which means, says Rashi, he was
- 27:59the smallest of the bunch. He was the lowest of the
- 28:02advisers. And he pipes up and says, I have
- 28:06a couple ideas and we'll see his decrease in a second.
- 28:10Why is irrelevant. Why is it significant?
- 28:12And Haman jumped up as the smallest of the bunch, the
- 28:18lease, lease important advisor. Why is that relevant to the
- 28:22store? And Imam was least important
- 28:24advisor and piped up the idea is this.
- 28:30The theme that Akash was building was a theme that
- 28:33royalty doesn't matter, a theme that people with stature don't
- 28:39mean anything. So they come from.
- 28:41Yeah, If they come from small to they come from low and high.
- 28:43If you're wealthy, that's all that matters.
- 28:45Akash Rosh was wealthy, so he came to the top.
- 28:48Her mom was super wealthy, He came to the top.
- 28:50It wasn't about royalty, it wasn't about background, it
- 28:53wasn't about history, it wasn't anything.
- 28:55So her mom being the one to jump up the retort.
- 28:58Broken. Was basically, yeah, yeah, his
- 29:00his mindset was he wanted to be Akashi Rush, king of the world,
- 29:04and he wanted to be king of the world.
- 29:06He wanted to be perceived as something significant.
- 29:09Was it he outgoing for him? Wealth, Only wealth.
- 29:12He had nothing else going for him, wealth and power, and he
- 29:16wanted to be perceived. Ignore other factors, ignore
- 29:19history, ignore background. Just notice the wealth.
- 29:23That was his percent. That was his approach and Haman
- 29:27played right into that. So Haman said things that
- 29:31literally when music thought how she was and ears.
- 29:34What should the decree be? Let's read it to you as he says,
- 29:38listen, Laura Melech levado of Taba Shia Maca Vashti didn't
- 29:43just disgrace you. Kia la kua sahim balakola amim
- 29:48Vashti disgraced everybody, Kia Ted divana maka Akua nashim,
- 29:52everyone's going to be disgraced on and on.
- 29:55So therefore he says, according to my judgment, business the
- 29:58king should do, he should make a new decree as follows.
- 30:03First of all, Vashti should be eradicated saying.
- 30:06He says another thing, all women should give respect to the
- 30:09husbands. What is that coming to the
- 30:11picture? Old women should give respect to
- 30:14the husband dollars and she rules in the house.
- 30:17What does that come in Saul? Why is that relatable to the
- 30:21conversation? How does he about she's how is
- 30:24he about she's a wife and she messed up her husband fine, but
- 30:28why is that relatable? The answer is this says the Ben.
- 30:33I believe Ben Ishaiah saw different approach.
- 30:35You know what the idea was, and you know why this made a high
- 30:39stretch very happy by saying that old woman should rule, the
- 30:42old men should rule the home. He wanted.
- 30:47Akasha, wanted to shift from a government system.
- 30:51He wanted to do away with small level rulers.
- 30:54He wanted to make it that there's no rulers but myself, a
- 30:59mayor like this, some sort of structure like this.
- 31:01Every home is run on its own. There's no government overseeing
- 31:05them. There's no one overrunning them.
- 31:07Every home was completely run on its own, by its own leader being
- 31:11the man his goal is overall to leave it that there's only one
- 31:15real king of the world and there's no longer a regular
- 31:18government system. There's no longer anyone else to
- 31:21be impressed by. It's only me.
- 31:23What Haman come up with this idea?
- 31:25Where do you get that from? So the answer is Haman, as we
- 31:29know from the story, had a wife problem.
- 31:33Haman's wife was wiser than him. Haman's wife was more powerful
- 31:38than him and she was driving him crazy.
- 31:42So he was using this opportunity as an opportunity to change his
- 31:46structure in his own home. In fact, he said.
- 31:50In fact, he said the law has to be there in the home of the wife
- 31:53is from one nationality and the husband's from another one and
- 31:56speak the husband's language. Where do they come into the
- 31:58picture? How's it related to the putting
- 32:00story? The answer is in his own home.
- 32:04His wife read a different language.
- 32:05He has his language and he wanted to reset the situation,
- 32:11and this is talking directly to Hoshi because he wanted also to
- 32:16reset powers. And that was the overall theme.
- 32:19Now, this is a cute background. Why is it relevant to our story?
- 32:23The reason it's so relevant to the pouring story because the
- 32:26high stories trying to tear down everything that's secret, trying
- 32:30to tear down everything that's important.
- 32:32And one of the main things to tear it down was tear down
- 32:36royalty. He gave right after this.
- 32:39How Sook says he's looking for a wife.
- 32:43He gave Haman a major position, right?
- 32:49Oh, it's a position. It was a brand new position.
- 32:52It was called Bet Haman. He was pretty much second to the
- 32:56king. Where'd the position come from?
- 32:59Normally up until this point, the king had to address
- 33:06Congress, he had to deal with his cabinet, he had to deal with
- 33:09his government officials, but he just reset the rules and the
- 33:12rules were I'm king, I'm the only king, everything is me.
- 33:16And because that he had the the ability and the ability to give
- 33:19Haman his royal position. That was a new theme in the new
- 33:22world. Now, why is it relevant to the
- 33:24premium story with Tania? Why is it relevant to premium
- 33:27stories? OK, here he goes.
- 33:31He's looking for a wife. What did he take as his wife?
- 33:35Eventually he takes Ested. She's the most beautiful girl
- 33:38around. He takes Ested as his wife.
- 33:40I. Thought there's opinions over?
- 33:42There there's one opinion that says she's the most beautiful
- 33:44girl in the world, and the other opinion says that she had a
- 33:47green face but she had a Hochel Hassan when she was made her
- 33:50beautiful even though she wasn't really beautiful.
- 33:52Different opinions about that. So he took her What was her
- 33:55backward? What's the most famous thing
- 33:57about Estera throughout the entire story?
- 33:59The most famous thing is, Basu says constantly.
- 34:03She didn't say her home, her background, where she came from.
- 34:08He couldn't find out he was a kid.
- 34:09He couldn't find out we'll see what he tried to do in order to
- 34:11find out. She didn't say her background
- 34:13why didn't she say her background come with the high
- 34:16told her not why is it relevant to the story and the fact that
- 34:20she didn't say her background He's.
- 34:22Trying to knock my little walls. This is not going to take on.
- 34:24If he's trying to knock on a Jew, he's not going to take a
- 34:26Jewish person, but one. And if the world was based on
- 34:30royalty, he never would marry a girl.
- 34:33Imagine a king marry a girl has no idea if her brother is a
- 34:37crook, he doesn't know. If her father's a mobster, he
- 34:40has no clue. And he's taking her as queen.
- 34:43Why is he taking her as queen? Because in his worlds, royalty
- 34:47doesn't matter. Background does not make a
- 34:49difference. So it's relevant to fact it was
- 34:52available the fact that he didn't know her background.
- 34:55But why is it relevant to our story?
- 34:57Think about it more than I told her.
- 34:59Don't say what was the high thinking?
- 35:02Well, how I told her don't stay. Don't say she was taken as
- 35:06queen. What did Hazard do right if they
- 35:10took her as queen? He made a party, took give off
- 35:15taxes and then the New York king.
- 35:19Then the basuk says that was always their thing.
- 35:21When they wanted to throw a party, they gave off taxes.
- 35:23Then the basuk says he went ahead and started gathering more
- 35:28girls. Why is he gathering more girls?
- 35:30You got your wife already. He was trying, trying at least
- 35:35to make her jealous. Why?
- 35:37Because he wanted to maybe get her to give in the background,
- 35:41to tell her where she came from, to ignore her, to make her
- 35:43jealous. He starts looking for a second
- 35:45queen right after getting the 1st and she doesn't say.
- 35:48The basuk says that Mordechai would sit by the gate of the
- 35:53king. Why was it here by he's trying
- 35:57to get a chance to get a glimpse at her, to get a conversation
- 36:01with her every single day for five years.
- 36:05Why 'cause you wanted to convince her one thing.
- 36:08Don't say where your family comes from.
- 36:11Don't say, don't say. She never would say a hush was
- 36:14just dying for her to say. She wouldn't say he was willing
- 36:16to take her. We understand because he didn't
- 36:18care about the background that much, but he still wanted to
- 36:21know and she wouldn't say. That's the story of Esther.
- 36:23That's one of the biggest things that she ever did.
- 36:26The Gemara tells us Esther comes from the family of Benjamin.
- 36:30That comes from the family of silence.
- 36:34Esther didn't say. Her greatest quality is that she
- 36:37didn't say. So I have a question, Pete.
- 36:39Why is it so relevant? The fact that you didn't say
- 36:41happen to make this story a cool story?
- 36:44Because being that she didn't say Akashwars had no cool truth.
- 36:49Jewish Haman had the decree issue.
- 36:52She then revealed the fact that it was her own family being
- 36:55threatened and that turned the whole story around.
- 36:56Very cool. But why?
- 36:58Throughout the story, the Mordechai want her not to sing
- 37:03so she doesn't become a queen. She became queen already.
- 37:05Now why not sing? What's the significance of not
- 37:08saying? What do you think?
- 37:11Why did he tell you can't say where your family comes from?
- 37:16Give me a guess. He didn't want he didn't want to
- 37:18hold anything against her like a female was Jewish, anything bad
- 37:22happened or whatever. He.
- 37:24He punish her. What do you want to sit over the
- 37:28families? He maybe he goes and wipes out
- 37:29the family. Don't Let's hear what you're
- 37:32buying I. Try to keep it to anything.
- 37:34Now am on his soul says, say that the Jews were saved because
- 37:37of her. He wanted him from her chamber.
- 37:40OK, that's the story where it goes later on.
- 37:41That's part of it, yes. So really there are many.
- 37:45I looked up why he didn't want her to say.
- 37:48Some say it's because she also came from the family to show
- 37:51royalty and maybe a high specialist would like to her
- 37:53more. Some say the opposite prefer
- 37:56some say the opposite, which is she came from the Jewish people
- 38:01and Hosh would have wanted to kill her or been upset at her
- 38:03and stuff like that. So it's all over the place.
- 38:06As to why he told her not to say.
- 38:07One thing was certain. His biggest request of instead
- 38:11was don't say, don't say, don't say.
- 38:13Five years. He stayed by the gate every
- 38:16single day he came to visit and the main reason why was to make
- 38:21sure she doesn't say. Here's the theme.
- 38:24If you go full circle, the theme was the glory of the rabbi's
- 38:29with down the tubes. The glory of the leaders was out
- 38:33the window. They went to the party.
- 38:35They didn't listen to the rabbis.
- 38:36They they committed a sin. They didn't listen to the
- 38:39Rabbana by instead of Markov listening to Mordecah for those
- 38:44five years and never sang where she came from, but she was
- 38:50fulfilling was and without the Hamim.
- 38:54I trust the rabbi. He tells me not to say.
- 38:57I'm not going to say doesn't make any sense anymore.
- 38:59I'm already queen. I'm not going to say the king is
- 39:01looking for a second wife. It's not helping me.
- 39:03It's not going to say because the rabbi told me not to say I'm
- 39:06not saying and that led as we know her not saying led to the
- 39:10Ghulam. And it's really the story going
- 39:12full circle where has tried to take down the prestige of the
- 39:15Hamim and her by the way she acted, by the way she listened
- 39:20to him during those years. She brought back up the glory of
- 39:24the rabbi. And if you see the rest of the
- 39:26story of the Migila, it's all about the glory of Mordechai,
- 39:31where the Miguel story continues and says Mordechai tells her
- 39:35once the decree is issued, Mordechai tells her you should
- 39:39go in. She doesn't want to go in to
- 39:41talk to Rashersh. Why doesn't she want to go in?
- 39:45She knows she's going to tell. He's telling her to commit
- 39:47suicide. She knows it's pretty much a
- 39:50suicide mission. Walking into the highest large
- 39:52unannounced can easily result in death.
- 39:55That's the way the system was. But the rabbi told me to go.
- 39:58I'm going to go. And she went.
- 40:01And that too played into the gula.
- 40:03And then we have the glory of the Hakameen, where we have this
- 40:07story that seems completely irrelevant.
- 40:09There's one part of the Mihila that seems completely
- 40:11unnecessary. What's that part?
- 40:14And of course. I'm skipping a lot of them
- 40:16because you don't have time to do the whole thing.
- 40:18What's the part that seems completely relevant?
- 40:21What do you say? That's after the fact, correct?
- 40:26It has the relevance to a little bit, but fine.
- 40:28It's another part close to the end.
- 40:31It seems to have no purpose. It's just a cool part.
- 40:35It's a fun part, but it seems to have no purpose.
- 40:38And that is Palai Lahu has yours is trying to sleep.
- 40:43He can't fall asleep. Meanwhile, Haman had the gallows
- 40:47built for Mordechai. Akhashvar says, who's who's
- 40:50Bakhantse, who's out there? And they say Ahmad is coming.
- 40:53I'm always coming to tell him to kill Mordechai right now because
- 40:58he was so mad. And Mordechai.
- 41:01And Akhashvar says, meanwhile, he's trying to fall asleep.
- 41:05And they're reading to him the Chronicles of history.
- 41:07And then those chronicles are telling him, by the way, there
- 41:10was the same man, Mordechai, who saved your life.
- 41:12What do we have to do for this man?
- 41:14Nothing. Her mom walks in the door with
- 41:17the plans of of the idea to kill Muthehai.
- 41:21Akashvaj immediately says why give me a minute chance to talk.
- 41:24Says what should we do for a person whom I want to hunter?
- 41:29And Herman goes to town and put him on the horse, let him wear
- 41:32the world garments and the royal crown and all that stuff.
- 41:35And Akashvaj tells him we know this part.
- 41:37He says OK perfect go do that from Muthehai who did yes but it
- 41:46doesn't make a difference but the highest.
- 41:47Significant part of the big. But it doesn't.
- 41:50It's the beginning of the end. It's the beginning of the
- 41:52change, but it plays no actual role in our Gila.
- 41:56Well, plays role in our Gila with the two parties that is
- 41:58there through this plays no role.
- 42:02What happened? Muhammad goes it's very easy
- 42:05thing. He goes in to find what the
- 42:07high, what the high is sitting and teaching school children.
- 42:11He's in the middle of teaching him about the bed of Makdash.
- 42:14As we mentioned, Akashwa's whole plan was to wipe away the memory
- 42:18of the bed of Makdash to make it seem like it's never going to be
- 42:20there again or more. The high didn't bite and one of
- 42:23the highest learning the laws of Kumitza of a kurban in the bed
- 42:27of Makdash as if it's coming tomorrow.
- 42:30Her mom walks in and says, you're what are you learning?
- 42:33What are you doing? What are you discussing?
- 42:34What's discussing about the flowers service in the temple?
- 42:37Muhammad says. Your service is clearly more
- 42:41powerful than my silver coins because I pay a lot of money to
- 42:44destroy your people. And now look, the king is having
- 42:48me serve you when we know more than High gets onto the horse
- 42:52and he's LED around the city. Now I said that story's
- 42:55irrelevant. What I mean, it's irrelevant
- 42:57doesn't really play a role into the Gila, but what it does play
- 42:59is this. It plays a role into witnessing
- 43:03the cavort of the Hakami. The Hashra has tried to destroy
- 43:08the significance of a hakam of a Jew, of glory, of Hashem Surah
- 43:14of our people. And here you have that I'm with
- 43:17the high. Our leader, our main rabbi is
- 43:21being LED as if he's king and that and and who was being
- 43:24diminished, Haman. So you have the story come full
- 43:27circle. Where I will come board is up
- 43:29with the Kaaboda. Khameem is up and that's maybe
- 43:32why it ended in Mihila. What do we how do we end?
- 43:35Mordechai comes out weary trail it Armand all these Jimmy, all
- 43:41these beautiful clothing. What we're saying is, is it that
- 43:45Tamika Ham came out looking royal?
- 43:48He came out and he was on top of the world.
- 43:51What did Mordechai take over? He was given what we call Beth
- 43:54Havan. He got the highest position in
- 43:57the land. He was given that house.
- 43:59He was given the signet. He was given power.
- 44:02He was given royalty. And so the Kala Ham was given
- 44:05all the dignity, the man who represents Hashem was given all
- 44:10the dignity that Ahaz was trying to tear down.
- 44:12He was trying to tear down our people by tearing down our
- 44:16rabbis, our leaders, our listening to the Khazami.
- 44:19And the result was our leaders were back up again.
- 44:23They were all risen up. And Al Malek was taking down.
- 44:27Our leader was on top of the world and let on a horse as if
- 44:30he's king. And that was the beginning of
- 44:32the story of the end and the beginning of everything turning
- 44:35around. So the middle part, which is
- 44:37that Esther would not say where she came from, thou he was, and
- 44:41would not listen to the rabbis going in to meet the high
- 44:44shores, even though she was seeing your life listening to
- 44:46the rabbis. And that led to our Gulas.
- 44:49So really this threat of this version of the Megillah, is it
- 44:54the Megillah of a man who wants power, an orphan, that power he
- 45:00needs to destroy everything sacred in the world.
- 45:03Make 2 mine the Hebrew. And in the Jewish centre make a
- 45:07party, in the Jewish centre throw the worst part of the fire
- 45:10and Shabbat. Make the Jews sin.
- 45:11Make them not listen to Ha Hamim, make us eat a mungo him
- 45:14and all that. And the gulag came when we
- 45:17started to listen to the rabbos. One other part of the gulag was
- 45:21Lech kanos, Kaliyodim. When did they fast?
- 45:25They fasted. When did they fast?
- 45:31Before Esther was in. You know when the dates were
- 45:34when the high issued a fast day. You know what the day of that
- 45:37fast day was. Said the one day of the year
- 45:46that you have an obligation to eat with the High Institute of
- 45:49Fast. Not to eat.
- 45:52Go against the mitzvah because the robbers are telling you to
- 45:56do so. And that was instituting the
- 45:58clearest, strongest novel of him.
- 46:02And that turned the time. This is our picture.
- 46:04This is our story is our We'll stop with this.
