Behind the Mask
Thoughts for Purim 2023
When observing the Scroll of Ester ('Megilat Ester'), we see that unlike the other 23 books of the bible, there is not a single mention of G-d's name. The scroll covers a 9-year storyline in which there is a rather fathomable chain of events, right until the very end of it, when everything turns around for the good.
The underline story of Purim comes to teach, that no matter how we might perceive our physical reality, be it the private or the collective, how chaotic or unstable it might seem - the chord that leads it beneath is that of a perfect symmetry, precise by space and time, fate and consequence.
Purim speaks in code, Divine Providence.
We should always know and remember that everything is closely looked after and directed by the King of all Kings, Master of all creation, G-d Almighty, and that nothing besides Him can benefit or heart us.
He is watching, He is guiding and leading us on the right path to redemption as it says (2 Samuel Chapter 14) "he that is banished be not an outcast from him".
