They give us the strength to have self-sacrifice for the Torah, making it truly our own, and thus also to bring about the further revelations of the inner dimension of the Torah which will take place in the time of the Messiah. In 1927, speaking from the Bima in a brightly-lit, crowded Synagogue in Moscow, Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak presented this idea, exhorting people to have Mesirat Nefesh, self sacrifice, for Judaism, in practical terms. Chassidic teachings elsewhere explain this idea in terms of the atmosphere of euphoria and spiritual uplift which prevailed at Sinai, which precluded a more considered commitment to accept Jewish Law. Chabad Research Unit – www.chabad.reasearch.net – cru@lubavitchuk.com The answer as given in Torah Or by Rabbi Shneur Zalman is that on Purim the Jews showed readiness for self-sacrifice for Judaism. For at such a time there are incredible concealments of the Divine, persecutions and threats: but it is specifically then that the power of Mesirat Nefesh, self-sacrifice for Judaism, is revealed. When King Ahasuerus couldn’t sleep, and therefore was entertained by hearing a recital of the annals of his rule, he was reminded that Mordechai had saved his life and had not yet been rewarded. Rabbi Yosef Yitzhak explained that the main focus of the Emunah of the Jewish people is at the level of the ‘Radiance which Surrounds the Worlds’, the transcendent level of G-dliness4. Further, when an advanced scholar spends his time presenting Torah study sessions on a relatively simple level, or instructing children, this might also be considered self-sacrifice. The role of Moses was to impart spiritual strength to the Jewish people, and this role is continued by the line of spiritual leaders which extends from him to the present.
