Machshava:

Purim,  Spirituality 

Parsha:

Beshalach,  Ki Teitzei 

Description

Parshat Ki Teitzei contains a huge number of mitzvot that enter into every personal detail of our lives. If so, why does the Parsha end with the grand commandment to remember and wipe out Amalek? What is the connection between the two? We explore the importance to wiping out Amalek from every detail of our lives and bringing Godliness into every aspect of the world. We explain how all of this is brought out though the holiday of Purim where we wipe out Amalek, both in the story of Megillat Esther and through the mitvot of the day.
