Purim Appears Twice In The Zohar
Once For each day
In שלח we’re taught
Esther wore לבוש לויתן
Achashverosh died when he saw her
Why?
Mordechai wore it too
People were awestruck
But didn’t die
Why?
Mordechai wore the עטרת זהב גדולה
Not Esther
Why?
What do we wear
Special for Purim?
Tikunei Zohar 21 says
Leather shoes
Why?
Esther did her job
Then Mordechai did
Now it’s our turn
Shabbos Shalom
Chatzos Kollels have become popular in recent years. Only the Zohar emphasizes the importance of this practice. It’s repeated there dozens of times.
With the haskama of Rav Moshe Shapiro zt”l I encourage people to learn this way themselves whenever possible.
When we can’t, next best is to sponsor someone who can. The ideal subject of learning after chatzos is Kabbala.
$1500 will sponsor a talmid chochom learning kabbala in Yeshivas Rashbi for a month.
Twenty years ago a colleague in the Mir discovered a number of talmidei chachomim struggling financially who refused to receive tzedaka. He outsmarted them.
They were invited to join a Shabbos kollel paying them nicely for learning they were doing anyway wherever they want. Donors don’t know the recipients, and the recipients don’t even know they’re receiving tzedaka. This is the Stealth Kollel.
Stealthily supporting thirty world class talmidei chachomim learning in Yerushalayim. The most ideal form of tzedaka, as stipulated in Bava Basra 9a.
There are no expenses and no advertising. 100% tzedaka.
Sponsoring one avrech for a month is $1000. But donations of any size are warmly welcomed.
