Purim: Hashem's Hidden Name and Kisei

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

What does it mean that Hashem's name and kisei are not complete until Amalek is wiped out? His hanhaga is covered by a curtain that sometimes opens a little. Emes V'Yatziv recalls the open nissim of Mitzrayim, and from them we learn to see the hidden ones. Wiping out Amalek means recognizing Hashem everywhere.

Key points

• Rashi reads kes Kah as Hashem's oath that His name and kisei are incomplete.
• The missing letters hei, vav and aleph spell hu, so l'dor vador hu kayam means now.
• The avodah of Purim is uncovering Hashem, hidden behind a curtain, in the teva and the Megillah.
