Description

In this shiur entitled: Yom Kippur, Purim, Pesach & תחיית המתים, we'll try to reveal the meaning of the statement of the Yalkut: "all the Moadim will be null & void at the end of time except for Yom Kippur & Purim". What is unique about these 2 holidays that makes them eternal? Why does Purim have the strange mitzva of drinking? Why is Purim singled out for the mitzva of מתנות לאביונים? What meaning can we give to the Talmudic story of Rabba slaughtering Rebby Zeira? What is the significance of the Machtzis HaShekel, and why has the custom evolved of giving a Zecher LeMachtzis HaShekel before Purim? Why is the obligatory contribution dedicated for the building of the Adanim, whereas the optional gifts are used for the rest of the Mishkan?
