Mezuza Case
Why use one?
Especially indoors…
Why does the Baal Shem Tov object to iron cases?
What do Chazal call the case?
Your Purim lies in the answers to these questions!
Purim Is Named After Yom Kippur
Moshe Rabenu is MC of Yom Kippur.
Of Purim too.
The kohen gadol requires seven days to prepare for YK.
Moshe Rabenu is born today, and has seven days to prep for Purim.
Focus on MR today as part of your Purim prep.
Purim And Mezuza
Deeply connected!
They both usher you into your domain.
Mezuza to your physical house.
Excessive Purim wine yields a daas transplant.
That’s the ticket to your new and improved personal mishkan.
Mezuza awareness will enhance the potency of your Purim wine.
Purim And Chanuka
Represent Netzach and Hod.
The two legs of Yaakov Avinu.
Yaakov limped away from his struggle with Esav.
He limped on his left leg only.
That’s Hod, associated with Chanuka.
The Jews suffered a decline with Hellenization.
The right leg representing Netzach and Purim, wasn’t limping.
The Haman experience was just a Purim Shpiel.
Check out Megila 12a for details.
Preparing For Purim?
Start today!
Purim is a time to talk, pirsumei nisa.
Not waste words.
Build your Purim repertoire now, drink generously, spill the beans.
It comes out enlightened.
Adar Is For Tefillin
In a leap year, Adar Rishon is shel yad, Adar Sheni is shel rosh.
Time to brush up on your shel rosh game.
Examine the shins before putting it on.
Tuck the straps thru your belt.
Touch it as you enter shemoneh esreh.
Keep it under your talis.
Don’t be mafsik before putting it on.
A Guten Chodesh!
Women’s Mirrors
Despised by Moshe Rabenu, adored by Hashem.
Is this a machlokes?
Shabbos Day Of Rest
Melachos should be done during the weekdays.
Specifically, actions prohibited on Shabbos.
Arizal says that’s part of Shabbos observance.
Make sense?
Two Days Purim Katan
What to do?
Everything you would on Purim Gadol.
Except Megillas Esther, Matanos L’Evyonim, and Al Hanisim.
Of course you’re not chayav to do any of this.
But Yiddishe illuminati know where to be extreme.
Freilechen Purim
Shabbos Shalom
Your Shul Has A Ner Tamid
Right?
Your home should too!
Ideally, olive oil.
Light it once and keep adding oil as necessary.
Easy avoda which burns away the impurities of this compromised world.
If not feasible, make sure an electric light is always on somewhere in the house.
Like the one in shul (unless the community is enlightened…).
Absolute minimum, get a set of Zohar.
Light Up Your Yiddishkeit!
