The daily chizuk of The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, dealing with the holiness of Purim and the need to keep fighting even when it seems as if all hope has been lost —

“Once they hanged Haman, they already knew it was the end—but sadly it wasn’t the end; it took 70 days.”

Tuesday, 12 Adar II 5782 — these are his holy words:

Purim is the time when there is no din in the world—no din at all.

In truth, they hanged Haman a year earlier, but we moved everything to Purim—because it’s possible to make another Purim even within Pesach—so we transferred it to Purim, for then, truly, all the gates open—all the gates.

...And then Hashem was appeased, because everyone became Jewish—everyone became Jewish. Once they hanged Haman, they already knew it was the end, but sadly it wasn’t the end; it took 70 days.

It took another 70 days. They thought they would wear the Persians down, but no way. It’s like Russia: they warn him, they talk to him, they travel to him, and he says that this decree cannot be canceled.

A law is a law, a decree is a decree—but Esther said: I’m not interested in any decree and I’m not interested in any law:

“And Esther continued and spoke before the king, and she fell at his feet, and she wept and pleaded with him.”
