Purim Continued: B'H ONLY 25 DAYS AWAY!

The Midrash continued: After Haman HaRasha set up the tree to hang Mordechia, he went to Mordechia and found him at the Beit Midrash with children wearing Sheep Wool articles (of mourning). Haman counted the kids and after seeing that there were 22,000 of them, wailing and crying (while fasting) in prayer to Hashem for redemption, he ordered King Achashverosh's secret service to handcuff them with metal and lock them up int he Beit Midrash. Haman yelled at all the kids: Tomorrow will begin the massacre of your people I've been waiting for and it will begin with all of you! And after I'm finished with you, I will hang Mordechai! <Sidepoint: Imagining this is horrible> The same night, the mothers of these 22,000 came to the walls of the Beit Midrash and snuck in food for their brave young sons and told them: "Our sons, eat and drink now before your deaths in the morning, so you don't starve tonight!" Immediately the boys refused, held onto their books of Torah and swore with the tiny energy they had left: "On the life of our great Rabbi, Mordechai, we rather die here tonight in ta'anit (fast) rather than die under the hands of Haman!"

Their voices climbed up to Shamayim where Hashem was sitting on His Kiseh HaKavod and moved from Midat haDin (the element of judgment) to the Midat haRachamim (element of mercy) and asked: What are these cries of goats and lambs? Moshe Rabbeinu zoomed in with an answer: These are not voices of goats and lambs, rather the cries of the youngest of Your nation! They have been fasting for three days and three nights and tomorrow the enemy wants to slaughter them like goats and lambs! At the same moment, Avinu BaShamayim took the pamphlets ordering the annihliation of the Jews, shreaded them to pieces, and sprinkled the pieces over Achashverosh in the middle of the night. This is what is known as the moment when the redemption began from the Pasuk that explains Achashverosh's sudden awakening "BaLayla HaHu Nedada Shnat HaMelech." (=At that night the king's sleep was disrupted)
