Mordechai HaYehudi's, zs'kl, full name is Mordechai ben Yair ben Shimi ben Kish from the tribe of Binyamin. In the whole world there was no righteous man like him in his generation.
His name was 'Ben Yair' because he lit Am Israel with HaShem's Torah.
'Ben Shimi' because HaShem heard his prayers.
'Ben Kish' because he knocked on the gates of mercy and it opened up for him.
He was one of the Sanhedrin and knew all 70 languages. There was no one smarter than him in his generation.
Mordechai HaYehudi taught Torah in Eretz Israel until the Babalonian exile. But in Bavel he found no rest and returned to Eretz Israel. When he heard about his aunt's death and Esther is an orphan without parents, he returned to Bavel to raise her as his daughter. Mordechai HaYehudi moved with Esther to the capital city of Shushan and built there a Bet Midrash.
When the command of King Achashverosh to find him a wife was announced, Esther hid in her house for 4 years. During these 4 years, Achashverosh did not yet find a wife and announced all over his kingdom that any girl that does appear infront of him, her judgment is death. He also sent messengers to every city to find maiden girls and that's how Esther was discovered. She was immediately taken to the palace of the king.
Esther was different from all the other girls, she had no requests from Hagai, the girl's security guard. She refused to put on makeup, refused to be perfumed, refused to decorate herself with beautiful jewelry, refused to even try on beautiful clothing, and she refused to eat any food prepared in the palace because they were not kosher. She kept alive by eating seeds and drinking water.
On the day she was due to be presented to the king, Hagai forced her to put on jewelry against her wishes. He was afraid that he'll be killed if Esther is presented to the king without perfumes and jewelry.
When the king saw Esther, he was astounded by her beauty. He looked at a picture of Vashti and admitted that Esther is much more beautiful. That moment he decided that this girl is worthy to be the queen.
By adultary
He removed Vashti's picture from the wall and replaced
it with Esther's picture. In order for Queen Esther to know what day is
Shabbat, she had 7 maidservants for each day of the week. Each girl was named
the day of the week and when it was the 7th maidsevants day, Esther knew it
was Shabbat kodesh.
dumb jewess
From the day Esther HaMalka was taken from Mordechai HaYehudi's home,
Mordechai HaYehudi would walk around daily near the garden of the women's home
and would inquire about Esther HaMalka. He would teach her how to behave
amongst non-Jews and strangers. He warned her not to
reveal her nationality and not to tell Achashverosh
that she was Jewish. Even though Achashverosh would frequently ask her
information about her nationality, she obeyed Mordechai HaYehudi's
instructions and did not reveal.
of course by condition of anonymity
This secret drove Achashverosh crazy and he was dying of curiousity to know.
He commanded his servants to send expensive gifts to every city in his
kingdom. Achashverosh thought to himself that when Esther HaMalka will see
that he improves the conditions of her nation, she will 
reveal
her secret. But Esther HaMalka continued keeping silence. This made
Achashverosh very angry and he threatened her that he will again gather all
maiden girls from all the countries and find a new queen to replace her. But
courageous Esther HaMalka was not afraid to lose the crown and did not reveal
a thing to the king.
comfy with whoredom
In a small town in Persia lived a man named Haman (imach shemo). He had 10
sons and they were extremely poor. Even though the father worked hard for a
livlihood, he did not succeed to provide for his family. The hunger in the
family was overwhelming and Haman decided to join the
army because it was a time of war and much money was being offered to anyone
that will join the fight. Together with other soldiers, Haman went out
to the battlefield and it was a very difficult war. Many died and some
soldiers run away because they were afraid. Haman also ran away to the desert.
He was tired, hungry, and lonely in the desolate desert. He was almost dying
when he suddenly saw a Jew. The Jew offered him some of his dry bread and
water. After eating and drinking, Haman said to the Jew, "I don't have
any money to repay your kindness. Therefore, I will be
your servant for life." With this, he pricked his finger and with the
blood coming out of his finger, he signed the deal on a piece of paper. It
stated "I, Haman ben Hamdata, is hereby obligated to be your servant for
eternity."
even more fables of the jews
Haman returned to the battlefield and he saw that his regiment are winning the
enemy. He returned with his regiment to the army and got paid handsomely. He
quickly returned home with the money but it was very quickly spent and again
they had no food. Haman suggested to his wife that they move out of the
village into the big city and there he will be able to find decent work with
decent pay. They quickly packed up the little they had and went towards the
city. On their way Haman found a great treasure hidden inside a pit. They were
treasures from the kingdom of Yehuda and from the Bet HaMikdash.
but of course, as the fables go
He took the treasures to the capital city of Shushan, purchased a great big
home with orchards and vineyards. His money grew daily and everyone agreed
that there is no richer man than Haman in the land. When Achashverosh heard
about this rich man Haman, he invited him to his palace and appointed him as
his advisor.
When Esther HaMalka was chosen to replace Vashti, Haman decided to flatter
her. Even though he wished the king would marry his daughter, he knew that it
would be in his best interest to be loyal to the queeen so he will be able to
obtain anything he wishes from the king.
Achashverosh gradually promoted Haman and placed him as his personal body
guard. Haman was considered to be the most important minister and everyone
bowed down to him whenever he passed by them - except Mordechai HaYehudi.
While everyone was quivering when Haman passed by them and would immediately
bow down to him, Mordechai HaYehudi stood up courageously.
Everyone was surprised by Mordechai HaYehudi's courage to publicly humilate
the most important minister.
They asked him if he is not afraid of punishment and Mordechai HaYehudi would
answer, "Who is this Haman I should bow down to him? He is a human being
like all of us. I only bow down to the Creator of the World."
(Their Babylonian Creator, who is only a pathetic imposter) "But
didn't your father Yaakov Avinu and his sons (a'h) bow down to Esav?" the
people inquired. Mordechai HaYehudi replied, "Yaakov Avinu and his sons
bowed down to Esav before Binyamin (a'h) was born. I am from the tribe of
Binyamin and the same way Binyamin did not bow down to
humans, I, too, will not bow down to any
humans."
Haman was furious and wanted his revenge on Mordechai HaYehudi.
so the anti-Christ story goes
As a matter of fact, he hated all Jews and wanted to kill the entire
nation of Jews. When he cast a lot when to kill the Jews, that same hour, the
Divine Spirit came out and said, "Wicked son of wicked! You will not cast
a lot on Am Israel but on yourself. Am Israel will be saved."
When the month of Adar came out, Haman decided
that it was the best month to kill the Jews. "The
astrology sign of Adar is fish
and the same way fish are easilty caught and killed, I will easily erase
the nation of the Jews."
HaShem (Who is not the Name above all names the IAM)
heard this and said, "Wicked, you are happy prior to your event. Do you
not know that although fish get swallowed easily, but sometimes, they also
swallow quickly. Am Israel will not fall in your hands but you will fall in
theirs."
Haman went with his devious plans to king Achashverosh and convinced him to
allow him to wipe off the Jewish nation. Achashverosh hated the Jews no less
but was afraid of their great G.OD.
their g.od..........odd
"Their G.od loves the chosen nation and He punishes anyone that tries harming them.
oops, any one read Galatians?
Do you not remember the terrible 10 plagues He brought on the Egyptians?
How He took out His nation on dry land in the sea? He drowned 600,000 strong
Egyptian men in the sea. Their great and awesome G.od
used the stars to bring down the powerful Sisra. No one was able to kill Sisra
till G.od gave him into the hands of the woman
Yael (a'h). The G.od of Israel watches and
protects His nation and punishes their enemies. We cannot win the nation of
Israel, let's leave them alone and no harm will come to us."
Haman would not be discouraged and said, "Don't be afraid of the G.od
of Israel. The Jewish nation sinned against Him and He is angry at them.
Therefore, the G.od of Israel will give you the power to wipe them away."
But Achashverosh was afaid to harm the chosen nation. Haman told him, "I
can give you proof that the Jewish nation is not loyal to their G.od and
neither to their king. Call any Jew right now and place infront of him 2
glasses of wine. In one glass will be a dead fly and in the other glass, you
will take a sip from it infront of him. When you will offer the Jew which
glass he will choose to drink from, the Jew will choose the first glass, the
one with the dead fly rather that the glass you drank from." This really
angered Achashverosh and he angrily said, "Am I so despised by the Jewish
nation?". He immediately called his advisors to ask them their opinion.
When the advisors heard the plan, they panicked. "Honorable King! Don't
do it ever. If Am Israel will be wiped away, the world
will immediately destruct. The world will not survive even an hour
without Am Israel. The world was created for Am Israel,
the chosen nation of the powerful G.od.
Without Bnei Israel in the world, there will be no sun, no moon, no stars, no
rain, no dew, no earth, no food..."
Haman would not quit. "It's true the G.od of
Israel is powerful but that was a long long time ago. He got old and cannot
save them. How did king Nevuchadnetzar enter the Holy Temple and burned it
down completely? How did he take the Jews into captivity and their G.od did
nothing?" When the advisors and the king heard this, they had no answer
and it agreed then and there to wipe out all the Jews.
so goes any anti-Shemite who oppose these peoples and
their fables to this day
When the non-Jews heard that 13 of Adar is the day that all Jews will be
killed, haters of the Jews started abusing the Jews. They no longer wanted to
employ Jews and many Jews lost their jobs and livlihood. They made the Jews'
life miserable and all that was left was for the Jews to turn to HaShem for
help.
While announcements to kill the Jews on Adar 13 were being posted all over the
countries, the king and Haman had a wine party. During the party, Haman asked
from Achashverosh to purchase all the Jews to do as he pleases with them.
Achashverosh did not agree, "The nation of the Jews are in my trust and
I'm responsible for them as long as they live in my countries. I have no
permission to sell them. What am I going to answer the G.od of the Jews when
G.od will demand them from me? What will I say? With what can I justify? Let's
cast a lot, we will choose one to be "nation" and the other
"money". When I will randomely choose and 'nation' wins, I'll not
sell them but if "money" wins, I agree to sell them to you and you
can do whatever you choose with them."
Haman agreed and they cast a lot. Achashverosh chose one of the notes and
opened it. The word "money" was chosen and this is how it was
decreed on Am Israel to be sold to the wicked Haman.
After wicked Haman (yimach shemo) signed the letters of decree to kill all
Jews, young to old, children, women and men in one day, wicked Haman was
overjoyed and walked with his entourage in the streets of Shushan. Ahead of
him, he met up with Mordechai HaYehudi, zs'l, who was walking in front of him.
Mordechai HaYehudi saw 3 children coming from school, and he ran after them.
Haman and his entourage wanted to know why Mordechai HaYehudi was running
after the schoolchildren, so they followed him.
Mordechai HaYehudi asked one of the children to quote a verse and the young
boy answered, "אל תירא
מפחד פתאום
ומשואת רשעים
כי תבוא".
Do not be afraid of sudden terror, neither of the destruction of the wicked,
when it comes;
The second child quoted:
עוצו עצה
ותופר דברו
דבר ולא יקום
כי עמנו אל
Take counsel together, and it shall be brought to nought; speak the word, and
it shall not stand; for God is with us.
The third child quoted:
ועד זקנה אני
הוא ועד שיבה
אני אסבול
אני עשיתי
ואני אשא
ואני אסבול
ואמלט
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have
made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
When Mordechai HaYehudi heard this, he was overjoyed and laughed. Wicked Haman
asked, "Why are you so happy over the words of these children?"
Mordechai HaYehudi replied "They told me good news - that I should not
fear the evil advice that you advised against us."
Esther HaMalka (Mordechai's whore for Sanhedrin
anti-Christ) did not know about Achashverosh and Haman's decree against
the Jews. She was very surprised to hear from her maidservants that Mordechai
HaYehudi is walking around the palace garden dressed in sack. She immediately
sent Hatach, one of her maidservants, to inquire from Mordechai HaYehudi the
reason for the sack and she also sent him clothing to change and to remove the
sack. But Mordechai HaYehudi refused to remove the sack and told Hatach,
"Am Israel are in trouble and I should wear royal clothing? I will not
remove the sack till the Merciful One annuls this decree. Go to Esther HaMalka
and tell her the terrible decree that was decreed on our nation and ask her to
go to the king to beg him to cancel it."
When Esther HaMalka heard the message, she became petrified and transferred
thru Hatach a message to Mordechai HaYehudi, "How can I beg the king to
cancel the decree when I cannot even say that I'm from the Jewish nation? I
did everything you instructed me to do and did not tell the king I am from the
nation of the Jews. How can I now tell him that I am a Jewess? Also, there is
a law in the land that no one may enter infront of the king without royal
permission and only Haman can give this permission. I was not called to come
to the king 30 days."
When Hatach went to pass Esther HaMalka's message to Mordechai HaYehudi, Haman
saw him and kicked him hard and killed him. HKB'H said, "Because
wicked Haman killed the messenger of Esther HaMalka and Mordechai HaYehudi,
I'll send Angels Micha'el and Gavriel to act as the messengers."
The 2 angels came to Mordechai HaYehudi and told him Esther HaMalka's message.
Mordechai HaYehudi transferred this message to Esther HaMalka, "Know this
Esther HaMalka, you were chosen to be the queen only for the purpose to save
your nation. If you keep silent now, salvation will come from a different
source and the home of your father will be lost. Why are you afraid of this
wicked person? Is he stronger than Amalek who fought against Am Israel and
lost? Is he stronger than the 31 kings that gathered to fight against Am
Israel and Yehoshua bin Nun (zs'l) killed them with one blow? Is he stronger
than Sisra, the strongest man on earth, and HaShem gave him into the hands of
a woman? Is he stronger than the giant Goliath that Dovid HaMelech (zs'l)
killed him with a rock and removed his head? Don't be afraid. Be strong and
the HaShem will help you."
"If you refuse to help your nation that is now in great trouble, know
that you will not escape punishment if tragedies befalls on them. The day will
come when you will need to answer the Heavenly court why you did not help your
nation. What will you answer?"
"I'm asking you to collect courage and go to the king to ask mercy for
your nation. HaShem hears your prayers and will protect and save you from any
harm."
When Esther HaMalka heard this, she sent the messengers back, "I
completely agree to fulfill your request. I will approach the king and will
have no pity on my life. I prefer to be killed in this world rather than lose
my portion in the world to come. (hoodlum haha)
But only one thing I ask from you: Gather all the Jews of Shushan and fast for
me 3 days and 3 nights and I and my maidservants will also fast. Afterwards, I
will approach the king."
Mordechai HaYehudi announced a 3 day fast and on the first night of Pesach, he
gathered all the Jews of Shushan for prayers and repentance. 12,000 Kohanim
stood infront of the nation, in their right hands they held Shofars and in the
left hand, they held Torah. With tears and crying, they begged HaShem,
"Our G.od and the G.od of our fathers, if You will destruct us, who will
read from the holy Torah that You gave us? Who will remember Your name? Even
the sun and the moon will not light their light to the world because they were
created only for Am Israel."
keep in mind, GOD is not mentioned once in the Mega-killah
book of Esther
The Jews fell on their faces and cried, "Answer us, our HaShem, answer
us." For a long long time they continued praying, yelling, begging HaShem
not to wipe them off. They blew shofars till the High Ministers Angels of
Shamayim cried together with them.
Mordechai HaYedudi knew that the young children are pure, without sin and
their prayers will reach the Heavenly Throne. He gathered 22,000 children to
the Bet Midrash and the children sat around him, crying and screaming,
with sacks and ashes on them, learning Torah while fasting for 3 whole days.
Esther HaMalka did the same thing inside her palace. She fasted for 3 days and
prayed non-stop. She begged HaShem to have mercy on her and her nation. On the
fourth day, she dressed her royal clothing and place the royal crown on her
head. Before exiting towards the garden of the palace, Esther HaMalka stood
humbled with a shaking heart and called out to HaShem.
"HaShem my King and HaShem of my fathers, HaShem of Avraham, HaShem of
Yitzchak, HaShem of Yaakov, and HaShem of Binyamin, my father. I know why I
was chosen to be the queen and it was not because of my good deeds. It is to
save Am Israel from our enemies. Today I go to fulfill my obligation. Please
HaShem, help me do what I am obligated to do. If Your children will be
destroyed from the earth, who will say 3 times a day to You "Kadosh,
Kadosh, Kadosh?. Look at us and see what has become of us. The king sold us
for 10,o00 money and Haman wants to wipe us off the face of the earth."
"Please HaShem, look at my tears. Remember Avraham Avinu that passed all
the 10 tests You gave him. Have mercy on us in his Zechut. 3 days I fasted to
remind You the 3 days that Avraham Avinu walked to fulfill Your command to
kill his son as a Korban on the Mizbe'ach. You promised him that this act will
forever be in favor of Your children in time of trouble. 3 days I did not eat
or drink keneged the 3 ways You divided Your nation: Kohen, Levi, and Israel.
They all stood infront of You at Har Sinai and called out loudly, "Naase
Ve Nishma, We will do and we will listen." "If all these is not
enough merits to save us, please listen to the High
Heavenly Ministers that are crying and begging YOU to have mercy on
us."
"HaShem is merciful and compassionate. Please have mercy on me when I
come infront of the king to ask for mercy for Your nation. Please send a
merciful angel infront of me so I will find favor in the King's eyes so he
will agree to listen to my words. Please listen to me as You heard the prayers
of Chanania, Misha'el, and Azaria (a'h) and as you saved Daniel (zs'l) from
the lion's den, save us too from those that want to kill us."
3 maidservants accompanied Esther HaMalka. One on her right, one on her left
and the 3 one in the back carrying the rims of her royal clothing. The Creator
of the World placed the Divine Spirit on Esther HaMalka and 'dressed' her with
the Divine Spirit which added more beauty to her image.
When the guards saw Esther HaMalka approaching the King's palace, they were
shocked at her courage. They knew she was not called upon to visit the king.
The guards were wicked and they thought to themselves, "I wish the queen
would be killed so we can have her royal clothing." Esther HaMalka was
very frightened from the way the security guards were watching her.
When she passed by the idols inside the palace, the Divine Spirit left her.
Esther HaMalka felt it and called out in fear to HaShem, "Eli
Eli, why did You leave me? Why do You leave me alone as a sheep amongst
70 wolves? You know that I'm not going to the king for personal gain. Only for
the safety of Am Israel that are in great trouble."
Esther HaMalka's pure prayer reached the Heavenly Throne and immediately,
HaShem sent 3 angels to protect and strengthen Esther HaMalka. One angel
raised her neck so she looked tall and impressive. One angel pulled a heavenly
pipe on Esther HaMalka full of charm and beauty.
When King Achashverosh heard that his wife is in the garden, he got very angry
and thought to himself, "When I asked my previous wife Vashti to appear
in front of me, she refused. And this wife comes when I don't instruct
her." He turned his face sideways so not to look at Esther HaMalka but
that moment, the third angel turned his face directly towards Esther HaMalka.
When Achashverosh saw Esther HaMalka, his heart was instantly filled with love
(lust) for her and he streched out his
golden scepter. The golden scepter miracleously stretched till the garden. But
after 3 days and nights of fasting, Esther HaMalka was too weak and had no
strength to stretch her hand to touch the scepter. Instantly, angel Micha'el
raised her hand and neared her to the king's scepter.
That second, Achashverosh jumped out of his royal chair and ran to Esther
HaMalka. His face became very gentle and he said to Esther HaMalka, "I
see that your request is very big and you were even willing to die for it.
Nothing is too big for me to fulfill you wish, half of my kingdom I'll give
you. Just don't ask me to build the Holy Temple for the
Jews because I already promised that I'll never built it."
sheeeeeesh
When Esther HaMalka heard this, she thought it's not the right time to mention
that she's a Jewess. Instead she requested that Achashverosh and Haman join
her for a party she prepared for them.
When Esther HaMalka returned to her palace, she thought over what just
transpired and was glad that she also invited Haman to the party. This
way Achashverosh will feel jealous and think that I prefer Haman over him and
the decree to kill all the Jews will be cancelled.
That evening, Achashverosh and Haman went to Esther HaMalka's party. During
the meal, Haman removed his crown from his head and put it on the side. Esther
HaMalka did the same and placed her crown next to Haman's crown. She
moved her royal chair closer to Haman's chair and even poured wine for Haman.
While observing this, Achashverosh was bewildered at Esther
HaMalka's sweet treatment to Haman.
When the party was over, Esther HaMalka asked that they return tomorrow for
another party. They both accepted the invitation.
When Haman exited the palace, he saw Mordechai HaYehudi sitting at the gate
and Mordechai HaYehudi raised his leg at Haman. Haman saw that on the shoe was
glued the piece of paper of the deal he had a long time ago with Mordechai
HaYehdi in the desert. When Haman remembered it, he got very angry. When he
got home he called his wife and advisors to advise how he should punish
Mordechai HaYehudi. His wife Zeresh said, "Mordechai is a Jew. You will
not be able to punish and kill him because His G.od is with him. If you will
throw him into a fire, he will be saved just as Chanania, Misha'el and Azaria
(a'h) were saved. If you place him in jail, he will be freed just like his
great grandfather was freed, Yosef HaTzaddik (a'h). If you banish him to the
desert, nothing will happen to him just like his fathers lived in the desert
in peace for 40 years. If you poke out his eyes you will not succeed just like
what happened to the heroic Shimshon (zs'l) when he killed all the
palestinians when he was blinded. You must hang him on a tall tree because no
one from his nation ever was saved from hanging."
Haman liked his wife's advise instead of going to sleep, he immediately went
out searching for a tree to hang Mordechai HaYehudi. After much search, he was
unable to find a tall tree but suddenly he remembered that tree in his
backyard. He called his servants to retrieve this tree. This tree plank was
leftover from the ark that Noach (zs'l) built.
Noahide tree
That hour, the Heavenly Divine Voice said, "Haman,
this tree that you are preparing is going to be used for you."
Wicked Haman saw from his bedroom the tree prepared for Mordechai HaYehudi.
His will to see the Jew was overpowering and he went out searching for him. He
found Mordechai HaYedudi in the Bet Midrash with children sitting around him,
crying and screaming, with sacks and ashes on them, learning Torah. Wicked
Haman counted and found 22,000 children.
He ordered them to be shackled in heavy chains and placed guards to watch
them. Then he said, "Tomorrow I'll first kill the children and then hang
Mordechai (HaYehudi)."
All began to cry and bellow and their cries went up to Heaven. HKB'H heard the
cries and asked, "What is this voice I hear like young goats and
lambs?." Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, said to HKB'H, "These are not voices of
young goats and lambs, it is voices of the youngsters of Your nation, whom are
fasting for 3 days, because the enemy wants to butcher them like young goats
and lambs."
At that hour, HKB'H grasped the letters of decree and tore them up. HaShem
sent angel Micha'el to caused Achashverosh to wake up in panic, "בלילה
ההוא נדדה
שנת המלך". Angel Micha'el
entered Achashverosh's room, threw him off the bed and hit him 365 times while
other angels were yelling at king Achashverosh, "You are ungrateful. Pay
back the goodness to the person that did good for you."
HaShem made a miracle and when the Memory Book was brought to the king, the
page opened up to the page containing the information that Mordechai HaYehudi
saved the king's life.
That minute, Haman was in the gardens of the palace. When the guards saw him,
they said to the king that Haman wants to see him right away. When
Achashverosh heard this, he immediately remembered what angel Micha'el told
him in the dream and was convinced that Haman has come to kill him and take
over his kingdom. He instructed that they allow Haman to enter. Of course
Haman had no clue about the king's dream and did not suspect anything.
"You are my head advisor and I wanted your advise regarding how to honor
a person." Haman was surprised by this question and had no doubt in his
mind that the king is referring to him. Haman advised that this person should
dress in royal clothing with the royal crown and taken around the city on the
royal horses.
Achashverosh told Haman, "Go immediately to my treasures and choose the
most elegant royal clothing together with my crown and scepter. Then go to my
royal stable and take my Arabian horse. Take all this and bring it to
Mordechai HaYehudi."
Even in his worst dream, Haman could not imagine what he heard was true. He
felt so humiliated and angry but from the shock, was unable to answer. After
regaining his composure, he said to the king, "There are many Mordechai's
in your countries. Which Mordechai are you referring to?" The king got
angry, "Don't play games with me, go to Mordechai HaYehudi and do
everything I commanded you."
Haman fell to the floor and begged Achashverosh not to embarasse him so
publicly, "Why do you command me to give honor to my arch enemy? I'd
rather give you 10,000 silver. Instead of honoring Mordechai HaYehudi thru
embarrasing me, give Mordechai HaYehudi to be a governer." The king
replied, "Give your 10,000 silver to Mordechai HaYehudi and I'll promote
him to be a governor and now, do as I commanded immediately."
Haman was devastated, "I'll cancel the decree to kill the Jews. Right now
I'll send messengers to cancel the decrees to all 127 countries. But please
don't give Mordechai HaYehudi so much honor."
The king did not want to hear anymore and angrily said, "Of course I will
cancel the decree in honor of Mordechai HaYehudi. And you, go now immediately
and do all that you advised for Mordechai HaYehudi."
When Haman left the palace, Achashverosh sent 2 guards to follow Haman to see
that he fulfills the king's commands.
At that hour, Mordechai HaYehudi was sitting in Bet HaMidrash teaching Torah
to the children. When he saw Haman approaching him, he thought that Haman has
come to kill him and urged the children to run for their lives. But none of
the children were afraid and said as one, "Our teacher, our
Rebbe, we will never leave you." Mordechai HaYehudi hugged the
children as Haman was coming closer towards him. Haman said to Mordechai
HaYehudi, "Rise from your mourning and remove the sack off of you because
I was sent under the king's commandment to dress you in royal clothing."
Mordechai HaYehudi did not believe Haman and said, "Leave me alone, why
do you want to make fun of me infront of my students? Why do you insist to
make the last minutes of my life miserable? Allow me to go home and then you
can hang me as you desire."
Haman replied, "Does it look like I'm joking? Know this, your sack and
ashes are much more important that my 10,000 silver. Your G.od has heard your
prayers and has performed miracles for you, as He did for your forefathers.
Now get up because I need to dress you in royal clothing. This is the order of
the king."
Mordechai HaYehudi asked Haman, "How can I wear this royal clothing when
my body is full of ashes?". Haman replied, "Wait here and I'll bring
someone to wash and perfume you so you can be worthy to be dressed in royal
clothing."
Haman searched in the whole city for a washer but could not find because on
that day, Queen Esther decreed that all the people of the city may not work.
Haman was forced to take Mordechai HaYehudi to the bathhouse and bathe and
clean him. Afterwards, he dressed him in royal clothing.
When Haman wanted to place the crown on Mordechai HaYehudi's head, he said,
"I cannot allow you to place the crown on my head because I have not had
a hair cut in a long time since I was in mourning." Haman replied,
"I will find a barber for you." He ran looking for a barber but
could not find since on that day, Queen Esther decreed that all the people of
the city may not work. With no other alternative, Haman ran home and brought
his scizzors and while cutting Mordechai HaYehudi's hair, he was sighing.
Mordechai HaYehudi asked him why he is sighing and Haman answered, "Why
should I not sigh and cry? I am the most important minister of the kingdom and
here I am, washing, dressing, cutting hair of my arch enemy?"
Mordechai HaYehudi knew Haman since he was a poor man and answered him,
"You think I don't know who you are and who your father was? Your father
was a washer and barber for 22 years. You ran to your house to bring your
father's washing and barber tools."
Mordechai HaYehudi was very weak from fasting and was unable to raise his leg
to get on the horse. Haman was forced to kneel on four so Mordechai HaYehudi
can use him as his ladder. When Mordechai HaYehudi sat on the horse, he gave
Haman a hard kick. Haman was very hurt and said, "It says in your holy
Torah ' (Talmud bavli) do not rejoice in your
enemies downfall'. Why do you hurt me in my time of downfall?". Mordechai
HaYehudi replied, "If you were only my enemy, I would not rejoice as our
holy Torah instructs us. But because you were the bitter enemy of the Jews, it
is my duty to kick you as it says in our Holy Torah, "'ואתה
על במותינו
תדרוך And thine enemies shall dwindle away
before thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places."
Haman took Mordechai HaYehudi around the city of Shushan and all men, women,
and children saw this. 27,000 princes were placed infront of Mordechai
HaYehudi and they all called out
"ככה יעשה
לאיש אשר
המלך חפץ
ביקרו 'Thus shall it be done unto the man whom
the king delighteth to honour.'
When the Jews saw how their leader
is so honored, they went out of their home with torches and called out
happily, "'Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the King of the World,
the Creator of the World is delighteth to honour.'
When they reached Haman's house, his daughter looked out the window and was
sure her father was riding on the horse and Mordechai HaYehudi was leading him
so she took a pail full of dirty water and spilled it directly on the one who
was leading the horse. Wet and dirty, Haman looked up to see who hurt him and
saw his daughter. His daughter was so shocked to see her father leading the
horse and was so ashamed of her mistake, she committed suicide by jumping out
of the window straight to her death.
Dirty and wet, Haman returned home after this ordeal. He wife said, "Mordechai
HaYehudi is from the Jewish nation and once you have began to fall, you will
continue falling. The Jews will be saved and your end will be bitter."
Haman didn't get a chance to reply when knocking on the door was heard. He was
due at the palace right away for Esther HaMalka's party. The guards would not
allow Haman to wash up and they took him dirty and wet straight to the palace.
At the party, king Achashverosh asked Esther HaMalka what is her wish. Esther
HaMalka answered, "If I found favor in the eyes of the king, please save
my nation because we were sold to be executed."
Achashverosh was frightened and angrily asked, "Who is this person who
dares kill you?" Esther HaMalka got scared when she saw Achashverosh's
angry face. She pointed her finger towards Haman and said, "This enemy is
my nation's enemy."
Achashverosh nightmare became true. He suspected that Haman wanted to kill him
and take over his kingdom. He went out to the garden to calm down.
That hour, HaShem sent His anges to the garden in the image of the 10 sons of
Haman and Achashverosh saw them cutting down his beautiful trees in the
garden. He asked them, "Who gave you permission to destroy my
garden?" the angels replied, "Our father Haman instructed us to come
here and remove every tree and plant from your garden."
Achashverosh couldn't take it anymore and angrily burst back into Esther
HaMalka's palace to pour his anger on Haman. At that same second, Haman was
crouching down by Esther HaMalka's legs begging her to have mercy on him. When
the king entered, angel Micha'el came down from heaven and pushed Haman onto
Esther HaMalka's bed. When Achashverosh saw Haman on his wife's bed, he
yelled, "Also my wife in my palace you want to capture?"
sheeeesh
Charvona, hearing the king's yelling, walked inisde the palace of the queen
and said, "My honored king, not only does wicked Haman want this but he
is responsible for putting the poison in your food and Mordechai HaYehudisaved
you from death. This is the reason Haman hates Mordechai HaYehudi so much and
he even built a 50 foot tree to hang him on. You can see the hanging tree by
his house ready to hang Mordechai HaYehudi."
Achashverosh sent servants to see if this was true and when they returned,
they told the king what they saw, "A tree is ready in Haman's backyard to
hang Mordechai HaYehudi."
When Achashverosh heard this, he commanded that Haman be hunged on the tree
immediately.
Mordechai HaYehudi turned to Haman and said, "The king commanded that I
hung you on the tree you prepared for me." When Haman heard the verdict,
he cried and begged, "If it was decreed that I die, please just kill me
with a sword. Let me die with
honor. Don't hang me on a tree the same way simple people and criminals are
hung on a tree."
Mordechai HaYehudi didn't pay attention and hung Haman on the tree. After
Haman was 
hunged,
the king gave Mordechai HaYehudi the house that belonged to Haman and all its
treasures. Mordechai HaYehudi distributed all the money to 3 portions: one for
the Yeshivot and shuls, second portion he kept for the building of the Bet
HaMikdash, and the third portion he took for him and Esther HaMalka.
Mordechai HaYehudi was appointed to be the ministers of all ministers and head
of the kingdom's treasury. Mordechai HaYehudi served his country with loyalty.
Everyone in the kingdom of Achashverosh loved Mordechai HaYehudi and Esther
HaMalka and they knew no more sorrow.
In order for the great miracle never to be forgotten, Esther
HaMalka sent letters to all the scholars of Am Israel and asked that they rule
the holiday of Purim for all generations, on its original name Pur, casting of
the lots.
The scholars of Am Israel wrote everything in the scroll and called it
Megillat Esther which is read every year in every shul,
city, state, country all over the world in thanks to HKB'H for the
great miracles He performed for Am Israel.
Baruch (blessed is) Mordechai HaYehudi
