How amazing!!!!
PURIM is almost here and Hashem sent us so much information to make our PURIM more meaningful than ever before.
Here are some thoughts we discussed:
The power of the day of PURIM: (Rabbi Schwartz)
We can touch/experience/live from the "lishma" space in our selves- the part of our neshama that is integrated with Hashem-
We "pray" the megilah: (Rabbi Ziskind) Every time you see the name haman have in mind your greatest troubles and rejoice when he and his sons are killed-
(Rabbanit Yemima- i think)
the ten sons of haman are k'neged our flaws/difficulties:
1. judgemental
2. poverty
3. easily offended
4. lack of charisma
5. cheapness
6. too much of a religious achiever
7. cut off from transcendence
8. controlling
9. immodest
10. feeling small and worthless
In the morning: daven, megillah, set aside two shaloch manos from yourself and two donations- then you have done your mitzvos and the rest of the day is about accessing and experiencing the lishma space (see above) while taking care of any other practical things- daven in your head throughout the day.
PURIM seudah (meal)= neilah- highest of all year- any request you have - ask! and do teshuva for anything and everything ( have a list ready in advance): this seudah makes up for the achashveirosh seudah debacle--- make it kadosh (holy)! say Boruch Mordechai 120 times and b'rucha Esther bas Avichail 24 times.
We are organizing a group tehillim to complete the sefer as a group at some point during the day or during your seudah= sign up by emailing me at aviva@aberman.net with the section you want.
