Transcribed by Anna Beller: Chapter 8, verse 1. When do we celebrate Pesach? The day we were saved not when we rested. The Jews had Nissan from Pesach, 10 months until the war. They did not rest, they did not relax until the war. It means with the death of Hamman they were not happy, with Mordechai in the palace they still did not feel secure. They waited a year and whatever was done that year was used to prepare them physically and spiritually for the battle. Esther understood on her own Pesach time but that’s not what Purim is, if it was only Esther and Mordechai it wouldn’t  be the Jewish people. It says the Jewish people reaccepted the Torah, and they didn’t do that until they won the war. Why didn’t they do it after Hamman was killed. It’s awesome. Esther becomes the queen she manipulates the whole thing, its fantastic. She hides the fact that she’s Jewish and that her ancestor prepared the execution of  Hamman’s great great grandfather, I mean the whole thing is unbelievable and Hamman is hung on he tree which he erected for the hanging of Modechai. It’s unbelievable. And they’re still not happy, they don’t accept the Torah until after they’ve rested from winning the war. And they don’t even celebrate winning the war. And how do they celebrate by sending gifts to each other. There’s obviously much more here than what meets the eye.

Judaism by definition means that things evolve. Other wise there’s no point to say the world will exist for an x amount of years, it means that we will reach appoint. Because otherwise the whole idea of creation is ridiculous. Because then God is a complete failure.

Esther was able to affect total creativity while reinforcing the original commitment. That’s why the greatest accomplishment of the group leaders was the men of the great assembly who were X by Esther.

The Passuk says, it refers to Esther, the morning gazelle. Who’s the morning gazelle? Esther. Why? Just as the morning is the end of the evening, so to Esther is the end to all miracles. It should be the opposite. Esther should be the evening. Unless you say its only morning when you have no more miracles. Why is she called the morning if she’s the end of miracles? An age of miracles is in the time of darkness. Splitting of the red sea, 7 Gideon.

That’s why Esther had to lose her divine inspiration when she went into Achashveirosh. It was for her to understand that it’s not God Who decides to give or not give her divine inspiration, she is the one. And the definition of divine inspiration is the ability to articulate what you already know. Divine inspiration is that you already posses all the information, but you have the ability to articulate. Did you ever hear someone speak and say wow, I always thought that but in ever said it. What you were lacking was divine inspiration. You know you have information, insights but you don’t always have the ability to express them or use them etc. Ruach ha-kodesh is the Divine Inspiration. What it says is that Solomon possessed all the information in songs of songs in the absence of proverbs, but he had no idea how to express it in a way that people could understand until divine inspiration came. So the divine inspiration was a way to express things for others to understand.
