Description

We continue our study of Pachid Yitzchok for Purim. What is the license for the 'Sehok' of Purim since we are not permitted to fill our mouths with 'sehok' in this world. To answer this question, we will study the Chazal that one must not confront a Rasha if the he is enjoying glory & power. Instead one must respond to a powerful Rasha with a hypocritical, dishonest respect ("chanifa"). How do we reconcile this with the confrontation of Mordechai in the presence of Haman? In this shiur we will discover an entirely different way of comprehending the "sha'ah misaheket lo" the moments of glory & power of the Reshaim. But this understanding requires one to be a descendant of the tribe of Binyamin. On Purim we are descendants of Modechai.
