Purim: Uncovering Hashem Hidden in Teva
- In Moadim
- Drasha
AI summary (may contain mistakes)
What does it mean that Hashem's name and Kisei stay incomplete until Amalek is wiped out? Hashem's hanhaga is hidden from us, and we see it clearly only when there is a nes. A chassidic vort on Emes V'Yatziv finds the missing heh, vav and aleph in the words hu kayam. L'dor vador there means now, and wiping out Amalek, the avodah of Purim, is seeing Hashem behind the curtain of teva.
Key points
- Rashi reads kes Kah as Hashem's name and Kisei left half until Amalek is gone.
- The missing letters heh, vav and aleph spell hu, as in hu kayam in Emes V'Yatziv.
- The avodah of Purim is uncovering Hashem, hidden in teva and unnamed in the Megillah.
