Be one with Hashem. Be one with Yourself.
PURIM 5772 SAMEACH! theCLD hopes we all have a wonderful
Purim, full of Simcha, Ahavat Israel, Yirat Shamayim and Ma’asim Tovim!
In Megillat Esther there is an unbelievable and inspiring
events that happen which show the way a Jew should live.
One of these events is when Mordechai is sitting outside the
Palaca of Achashverosh. What happened? Let’s break it down. Haman the Rasha was
put to power by Achashverosh. His main goal in life was to eliminate the Jewish
people. He almost succeeded. After getting permission from Achashverosh to send
out pamphlets with permission to the public to go out and kill Jews, Mordechai
quickly hears of the news. Right away the Tzadik walks to the front of the
Palace, throws on a sack of dirt and soil and starts weeping and crying to
Hashem for mercy on Am Yisrael. A couple days later Haman is invited to the
Palace. Achashverosh and Esther are sitting in the Royal Hall and Esther
invites only Achashverosh and Haman to a party she is holding. Haman walks out
joyfully, but what does he see as he is walking out of the Palace?
Mordechai
crying and weeping and not budging at the site of the Great Haman!
What would people do when they saw Haman? Immediately bow down. Mordechai was just
focused on his praying to Hashem!
What is that like? Take one of the Gedolei HaDor (Biggest Jewish
Leaders in our generation) like Rav Ovadya and imagine if G-d forbid ahmadinejad
imach shemo (may his name be erased) was
ruler of the entire world. Imagine ahmadinjead has the power to slaughter
people left and right (which is probably what he would do if he was dictator).
Now imagine Rav Ovadya and the thousands of his students behind him crying in
front of the UN. Ahmadinjed walks by expecting huge respect, being the dictator
that he is. The Jews do nothing because they believe the only true dictator of
the world is Hashem.
The entire Purim story comes down to this very point. When
something happens in our lives we always need to turn to Hashem for help, even
if it means to completely ignore the most respected person in the entire world.
Even if this person is 100% guaranteeing our freedom or our salvation from our
problems! We need to constantly push to reach our spiritual potentials, to tell
ourselves WE CAN BE CLOSER TO HASHEM and that IT IS EASY! Purim is a time of
going above nature, whether it be simcha
(happiness) because of the wine drinking or because we are surrounded by fellow
Jews, family and friends that love us so much. It is about reaching that level
above the normal, above the average thought of thinking there are obstacles
between us and Hashem.
Purim is being one
with Hashem. We can get there.
PURIM SAMEACH!
