and he would drink a whole month of Adar. Usually Purim Purim there's a vinish sum of Puraya and Shulchan Aruch it says that on Purim you drink there's different shitas but that's the well-known alacha but this Jew would drink a whole Adar from Rosh Chodesh Adar till the end of Adar he was smashed. They once asked him what's the source for this? Once a year Purim but what's the source the whole Adar? So the Aven Ezer said that this Jew So the Aven Ezer said that this Jew answered as follows. He said I'll answer I'll explain it to you. I always had a question on Haman. Didn't make sense to me. Haman came to Achashverosh and he asked Achashverosh to designate one day Yud Gimmel Adar in which every Jew Chalila would be annihilated. L'hashmid l'harog ul'abed kol hayehudim minaar ve'adzaken taf venashim beyom echad. How foolish. How foolish. That day if you're a Jew go into hiding and you come out the next day and nobody can do anything to you. It was only one day. So so many Jews can hide, escape and then come back.

And he had a little hunch. What was the hunch? He knew or he felt that it may not work out. It's not so simple to get rid of the Jewish people. It's not so simple.
