| Megilat Esther |
# BX 553 |
| by
Braunstein AH, Rebbitzen Zehava |
 |
| Storybooks are nice, but doesn't it get boring hearing them to many times? The megillah is far more then a chronicle - between the lines lies depths you never thought existed. Did you know the word 'hamelech' is really referring to Hashem? And did you know that Esther's husband was Mordechai? Hearing the words of the purim story suddenly come alive, will make you feel like your hearing it for the very first time.

| Purim and Kiddush Hashem |
# BY 553 A |
| by
Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| On first reading, Mordechai's decision not to bow to Haman seems to have endangered the entire Jewish population. Was it foolhardy and irresponsible, or since he was the leader of a generation could we even entertain that is was the wrong thing to do? This question revolves around when does the mitzva of Kiddush HaShem apply, and under what circumstances must one sacrifice his life for it? Hear the core principles of this highly exalted trait and how it moved the Purim story as it did. |

Berkovits, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| As Jews, we understand the concept of joy. But Purim doesn't quite fit under this category of quiet internal happiness, with its noise, wine, and merrymaking. Rabbi Berkovits gives over a profound view of this unique day, exploring the salvation that comes from the tragic events in our individual and national history. For one day each year, learn to celebrate sorrow with the blind faith that entails. |

 |
| The miraculous story of Purim only seems as wonderful as it does when all of the seemingly natural events that occurred slowly over years are encapsulated into an extremely shortened telling. Rabbi Carmell dissects the major points of what occurred, and points out the inner secret that helped the Jews see G-d's hand and fight the enemy intent on destroying them.

Aspects used include the sense of smell, the Zodiac sign of fish, the image of Purim as a bed, along with other seemingly minor items of the story that imply that despite all we have going against us, we will survive.

Heller, Rebbitzen Tziporah |
 |
| If our deeds define us, how so? A person's soul is endlessly luminous, but by putting curtains of improper deeds around us we mute or totally dim its glow. And the more a sin becomes habitual, the harder it becomes to tear it off. Hear how the rituals of Yom Kippur burnish the soul's dullness back to it's original luster. |

| The six days of creation each symbolized one thousand years of the world's physical existence. Where did the phenomenal powers of Mordechai and Esther stem from, and how were they able to use them as they fought the negative influences of the era in which they lived? A look at the Purim story from a new vantage point. |

| Why Esther Compromised Her Values |
# KI 553 |
| by
Kahn, Rabbi Ari |
 |
| We know that Esther was not interested in being the beauty queen of Shushan, but the question remains - why didn't she even try to lose the pageant? Furthermore, the Talmud tells us she was a victim of rape, and although she had no religious imperative to put herself in mortal danger or give up her chaste status, what drove her to give up her most treasured possessions? |

In his usual candid style, Rabbi Kahn first gives a thorough introduction to Purim, then examines the sources of all the merrymaking, and concludes with a synopsis of the purpose of it under the surface, without our ending up under the table. |

| Purim: Finding God in the Darkness |
# KL 553 B |
| by
Kelemen, Rabbi Leib |
 |
| Mastering the obligations between man and his fellow man are the key to Purim, because the way to reach God when He is hidden is to follow God's directives regarding each other in our everyday lives. R' Kelemen explains that the reason God gives us moments of clarity and "light" is that afterwards we should be able to find our way along in the "dark" when God hides Himself. |

| Yom Kippur: Return of Mind, Body & Soul |
# KY 544 B |
| by
Kirzner ztl, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| All commandments are attached to different parts of the body, and have an affect when we transgress. But repentance needs to be far more than solely returning in action - we need to purify our mind and heart to the point we think teshuvah and desire it. Rabbi Kirzner explains how doing so will bring a sense of purity to our soul, and give us the ability to actualize our craving for repentance. |

| Antidote to Post Yom Kippur Blues |
# KY 544 C |
| by
Kirzner ztl, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| Yom Kippur is a day we spend in the rarified atmosphere of fasting, tears and prayer. As the day progresses we often feel further and further removed from our earthly pursuits and desires. The problem is how quickly this high feeling comes to an end. We may feel so let down and even apprehensive to take the steps we so fervently promised ourselves the day before. An important class for turning Yom Kippur into a very positive experience. |

# KY 544 D |

 |
| One of the main focuses of our attempt to regain touch with our spiritual selves in the month of Elul is to return to the Jewish nation. But what exactly does that mean? Rabbi Kirzner reveals the complex map of connections that find one Jew to the next to form a greater picture that we don't see. How does our performance of the 613 mitzvot as a united body fit exactly what the service is on Rosh Hashanah? |

Rabbi Kirzner shows us how to ask for such changing power. He explains the three basic levels of repentance, and how to lighten our heavy burden by using a Divine shortcut. |

Rabbi Kirzner's explanation of real repentance helps us understand the process - and even more powerful is the toolbox of methods he gives of how to practically leave the negative habits behind for good. |

| Confession: A Process Toward Purity |

 |
| What place does confession have in the teshuvah process? After all, G-d surely knows what we've done - as do we. Rabbi Kirzner proves the depth of vidui as a throwing out of the negativity within us, and how that brings purity in its wake. Even more, how does this process help us reach levels a tzaddik cannot? |

| Yom Kippur: Our Claim to Merit Forgiveness |
# KY 544 I |
| by
Kirzner ztl, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| In the spiritual framework of reward and punishment, one must take their good intention and actualize them before they are credited. Why then is sincere repentance accepted even without being put to the test we have failed previously, and succeeding? This aspect of G-d's benevolence toward us is merited because of our ability to openly confess our sins - and Rabbi Kirzner's profound explanation of why is transformational. |

| Yom Kippur: The Inevitable Return |
# KY 544 J |
| by
Kirzner ztl, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| Returning to G-d as a result of suffering He has handed down is not a very high level of repentance. After all, it seems to be just a method of avoiding pain as opposed to sincerely recognizing the fallacy of our actions. Why then is that the climactic level we will reach before the Messiah? Rabbi Kirzner's explanation of the clarity of our love of G-d at Sinai, and the promise we begged Him to make to assure we would never leave Him completely helps give a fresh view of the teshuvah we may have felt was second tier at best. |

| Purim: Happiness in Action |
# KY 553 B |
| by
Kirzner ztl, Rabbi Yitzchak |
 |
| We know Purim is a day of happiness, but from where does that emotion stem? Rabbi Kirzner looks at the tough concept of Divine revenge - and how God convinced us to keep our beliefs, despite all signs pointing otherwise. In this context, the Jews embraced Torah with more love than ever before, which fits perfectly with the kindness, purpose, and happiness of the day. |

Political intrigue flourished back in Persia as it does today, and just because Esther was in the right place at the right time, would we say it was a supernatural event? One job in this confusing exile is to find God watching us from behind the smokescreen of nature. Rabbi Milstein describes how the hand of God also appears within many of the normal events we encounter in life. |

# TE 554 |

Tauber, Rabbi Ezriel |

| The Joy surrounding the month of Adar is closely related to the command to wipe out Amalek the same way Haman, his descendant was wiped out in the Purim story. What is it about Amalek's nature that constricts the joy of life? And how does peeling away his nation's effect on us free our trapped neshema – bringing us to a greater simcha despite the painful process? |

This readiness to fight connects us to our identity as Jews, even if only on a simpler level.

| If drinking excessively is frowned upon in general, why should getting drunk on Purim be any different? Also, the commandment to remember Amalek is very confusing - are we supposed to destroy his memory, or always keep it alive? Was it our fault that this archenemy came into existence in the first place? In this penetrating talk, Rabbi Wagensberg brings up all the questions surrounding the concept of the nemesis of the Jew. This talk is a winner. |

When the Jews in the Purim story went to Achashverosh's party, they did no aveiras, but they forgot who they were, which was even worse. Rabbi Weisz explains the nature of galus, assimilation, and holocaust, and how we can avoid the ensuing destruction. This in-depth look at the Purim story through the lens of anti-semitism and galus is fascinating. Don't miss it! |

| The Essence of Yom Kippur |
# WY 544 |
| by
Weinberg ztl, Rav Yaakov |
 |
| Everyone makes mistakes, so isn’t it pointless to get caught up in guilt trips? Isn’t the sensible response just to move forward with a strong conviction to be a better person? If so, why are we first directed to take an honest, regretful look at the past? Hear why Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, how we are to do teshuvah (without the guilt), and why this process has such a great track record for moving people into the new year with a clear conscience. |

| The Essence of Purim |
# WY 553 |
| by
Weinberg ztl, Rav Yaakov |
 |
| Unlike other religions which espouse completely withdrawing from the physical world, Judaism also directs us to elevate our material world for spiritual growth. Hear how Purim, so packed with many challenging physical pleasures like parties, laughter, drink, food, and gifts helps us understand how the physical represents, and awakens its spiritual counterpart, rather than being a mere stumbling block for us. Rabbi Weinberg cuts through to the core essence of this amazing holiday. |

| Purim – Celebrating the Jewish Family |
# ZY 553 B |
| by
Zweig, Rabbi Yochanan |
 |
| There is an opinion that the most important message of the megillah read on Purim is that a woman should give respect to her husband. Could this really be more important than remembering the miraculous redemption of the Jews? Rabbi Zweig explains this strange message and how to understand it in context. Hear about the true nature of overcoming our selfish side on Purim and learning how to give with a full heart both on this fun-filled day and the rest of the year. |

| Purim and the Purpose of Creation |
# ZY 553 C |
| by
Zweig, Rabbi Yochanan |
 |
| Get ready to go back in time to the first mention of Haman, the wicked character in the Purim story, in the Garden of Eden. But what do Adam and Eve have to do with Purim? Rabbi Zweig takes a very interesting angle to examine our celebration of Purim in the present, and its roots all the way back to the story of Creation. Hear about the true pleasure of giving and how we can maximize our potential to give on Purim. |
