Below are the before and after purim classes.

The Gemara says that Purim can be pushed forward but not back (Vlo ya’avor). What lesson is there in this?

Don’t pass over.

The connection between Moshe Rabbeinu’s passing and Purim.

The miracle of Purim and it’s connection to Moshe Rabbeinu.

Purim is higher than Mattan Torah which is (in turn) higher than what the Avos did. The Avos were a Merkava but were able to bring Godliness only to Ruchniyus, At Mattan Torah the possibility to connect Gashmiyus was added and at the Purim story the connection to Gashmiuys was entirely from below.

This is the classic Purim maamar. The Yidden were in Golus that is compared to sleep. Yidden’s Mesiras Nefesh “roused” Hashem (kvayachol) from His sleep. The reason the waking up is the miracle [and not the Yidden’s mesiras nefesh which aroused it] is because it’s a miracle within nature. Hashem was still “sleeping” in Golus…

The Yidden (of Shushan) deserved to die simply for enjoying Achashvairosh’s feast [that may actually have been Kosher]. How can this be justified? 1) Eating Not Kosher? 2) Celebrating the death of the rebuilding dream as 70 years had passed? Page 170-1.

The question isn’t why we deserved to die, the question is how did we survive. The answer is Of course a divine miracle, which we can throw off if we choose to. This is what happened then in Shushan, they went to and enjoyed the feast of Achashvairosh. Page 171.
