CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Summaries of points from the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ The Rebbe's ‫פרשת פקודי פורים תשל''ג ד''ה איש יהודי בלתי מוגה‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Pekudei 6 Adar II 5784, 16 March 20241 THE POWER OF THE KING WITHIN A N IMPORTANT VERSE IN THE MEGILA IS: ‘THERE WAS A JEWISH MAN IN SHUSHAN THE CAPITAL CITY NAMED MORDECHAI the son of Yair the son of Shimi the son of Kish, a man of the Tribe of Benjamin’2. While he was later killed by the Prophet Samuel, in the interim Agag had relations with a woman who bore a son, and a later descendant of that son was Haman the Aggagite, who sought to destroy the Jewish people at the time of Purim, and who was finally hung together with his ten sons. One needs to be in touch with one’s own inner King, that sublime inner force which can decree and command, and before which one’s inner Amalek submits in total surrender, and is peacefully eradicated. Then the Temple within can be truly constructed, revealing the presence of the Divine in every detail of one’s life: in one’s wisdom, understanding and knowledge; in one’s thought speech and action. The Talmud states4 that when the Jewish people entered the Land of Israel they were commanded to do three things: to appoint a king, to go to war against Amalek, and to build the Temple. Surely the seven nations who dwelt in the Land of Israel, and who had to be conquered by the Jewish people in order for them to settle there, were of more consequence? Apart from the obvious idea that he and all the Jews prayed to G-d to save them, the discourse presents another significant aspect of prayer, as will be explained. Using subtle cerebral strategies a person can rechannel inappropriate feelings, whether of love or hate, or of other varieties of negative and destructive emotion. Mordechai, the hero of the Purim story together with his niece Esther, was a descendant of King Saul, and was thus putting right the error of his ancestor. As the Talmud states6, the initial goal was the appointment of a King, the wiping out of Amalek and then the building of the Temple.
