"Ahasuerus Saw the Scepter Lengthening But He Was Not Impressed" • The Daily

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Monday, Parshas Vayakhel, the night of the 25th of Adar I:

"Every day there are a hundred killed; everyone needs to dress modestly (long), all the girls. All the boys should wear wide pants, not tight ones. The legs must not be seen. Michal threw David out of the house [because he danced before the Ark of the Covenant and his cloak rose]. She rolled him down all the stairs. She gave him such a kick, such a frask (slap). It was heard all the way here.

Just as Ahasuerus received a frask (slap) from the angel—poor guy, how much I cried for him. That frask was heard all the way to Uman. After he saw that the scepter lengthened two hundred cubits, he said that he was not impressed by miracles. He was against Shuvu Banim; he boycotted Shuvu Banim who believe in miracles. He said he doesn't believe in miracles; he wants the law. 'Let the law pierce the mountain' (a Talmudic idiom for strict justice). Then an angel came and gave him such a frask (slap), everyone heard the frask [and then he agreed not to kill Queen Esther even though she entered without permission].

Because every girl needs to lengthen her dress, whether it's a skirt or a dress. Every day there are new dresses; it doesn't matter what name they give the garment—skirt or dress, it doesn't matter. It must reach the ankle. If not, every moment another hundred soldiers are killed. Break the Xiaomi (smartphone). Then every girl will be surrounded by flames of fire, like Deborah the Prophetess, the 'wife of Lapidot' (torches). She broke the Xiaomi and was surrounded by flames of fire!".
