Description
In this shiur for Purim, largely based on the Harerei Kedem, the Rav establishes that there are 2 dimensions to Purim, Yom Purim & Yom Simcha U'Mishteh. While the latter applies to the פרזים on the 14th & the כרכים on the 15th, the former applies to anyone on any of the two days. Indeed it is the Chalos Yom Purim which engenders an Issur Hesped VeTaanis. This Issur reflects the secondary Simcha which the Rav za"l defines as שמחה בשב ואל תעשה which we might call an Issur Aseh which enjoins us from Hesped VeTaanis. In this shiur we will investigate the nature of Esther: will there be Ta'anit Esther after Mashiach? We know that the other 4 fast days will be null & void, but what about Esther? Is it part of Purim? Or an independent mitzvah?
