On the Shabbat before Purim, two Torah scrolls are Amalek's legacy is this ongoing war against Jews, taken from the ark - one for the regular weekly portion cloaked in modern rhetoric but rooted in ancient hatred, and another for the special maftir reading of "‫ָזכֹור ֵא ת‬ setting the stage for bigotry to endure across ‫ָעָׂש ה ְל ָך ֲעָמ ֵלק‬-‫ֲאֶׁש ר‬, Remember what Amalek did to you" generations after their attack on the newly-freed nation. The commandment "‫"ָזכֹור‬ way, at your going out from Egypt, how "remember" Amalek reminds us that Amalek and those he they chanced upon you (‫אשר קרך‬ with the Amalekite mentality still exist, as ‫ )בדרך‬on the way." unfortunately witnessed when Israel fights for survival while the world loses its moral conscience attempting Rashi offers various interpretations to the word "‫"ָק ְר ָך‬ to deny Israel's right to protection from the likes of korcha on how Amalek "chanced upon" them: Hamas. 1) The root "kor" relates to cold - Amalek "cooled" the Centuries after Amalek, Haman the Agagite, a Jewish people's aura of invincibility, allowing other descendant of "‫" "ֲאַגג ֶמ ֶלְך ֲעָמ ֵלק‬Agag king of Amalek" (1 nations to attack - like a scalding bath that became Samuel 15:8), plotted the mass extermination of Jews accessible after one scoundrel jumped in and cooled it. Eliezer Simcha Weisz Purim Story The Gemara (Berachot 34b) states: "‫מקום שבעלי תשובה‬ ‫עומדין צדיקים גמורים אינם עומדין‬, In a place where penitents stand, wholly righteous people cannot stand." ,‫ וישי אבי דוד‬,‫ ועמרם אבי משה‬,‫בנימין בן יעקב‬ The Gemara emphasizes to us that even someone who ‫וכלאב בן דוד‬ is not perfect, and overcame challenging situations, can reach an exalted status even greater than that of great "Binyamin son of Yaakov , Amram father righteous people who did not withstand tests. of Moshe, Yishai father of David, and Caleb son of David." Also in Parshat Vayikra (4:22) we encounter the topic of a leader who sins: ‫ בסיבתו) של‬,‫ ארבעה מתו בעטיו (בעצתו‬:‫תנו רבנן‬ ,‫ שנגזרה מיתה על בני האדם כולם‬
