Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David continue Rav Kluger’s gorgeous ma’amar on Purim, and go deeper into the pnimiyus of Mishloach Manos as a preparation for Beis HaMikdash Sheini.
We open with “Shoshanat Yaakov,” then step right back into the sugya: Achashveirosh’s feast isn’t just a party — it’s temple-consciousness. Esther’s “לך כנוס את כל היהודים” is not only about survival; it’s about waking up and becoming a people again, so we can return and build.
Then comes the wild historical reveal from Sefer Ezra: during the Purim era, there was already a mizbe’ach in Yerushalayim, with korbanos happening, even while the Heichal still wasn’t built. Meaning: something can be “alive” before it’s “complete”… and unity is the foundation that makes the building possible.
From there, we turn to the wine: why “ad d’lo yada”? Not as an escape, but as a holy breaking of the inner mechitzos that keep us isolated. We bring in Rebbe Nachman’s yesod of yishuv hada’as, the fight against modern distraction, and the line between a Purim that opens the heart… and a Purim where Haman is still sitting at the seudah.
Yasher koach, and may we be zocheh to a Purim of real achdus, the kind that can hold a Beis HaMikdash.
