0:00 What should we answer the Jewish people in the exile and here in the Land, ahead of the war? - It is written, 'the days of Purim will not be cancelled from their descendants.' Right - in the Midrash, Midrash Shocher Tov, on section 9. So it is written in this Midrash: these days of Purim will never be cancelled, as it was in the Megillah - what they tried to do to us will never be cancelled. Purim is not cancelled. So if Purim is not cancelled, then who will try to cancel the Jewish people, if Purim is never cancelled?
0:26 With Hashem's help. So we are still in the days of Purim. We have Mordechai the Jew and Esther the Queen, and Haman the wicked - Hashem, blessed be He, will cancel him. Amen, amen. We must always rejoice and see ourselves. The Holy One, blessed be He, is with us, does not leave us, will not leave us. For us, the tzaddikim - in Tractate Berachos, page 18a: tzaddikim in their death are called living. Mordechai still exists, Esther still exists, they see what we are going through, and they fast and pray for us and do not leave us.
0:54 And we will win, and we will be full of hope and full of joy. This is the most important: to be full of strength and hope and joy. Not to fear and not to be afraid of anything in the world. And even if war rises against me, even - 'in this I trust' - 'this' is the holy Shechinah. One must trust in Hashem and not be afraid of anything in the world. We are a people accustomed to miracles, we are a people used to miracles. And the Holy One, blessed be He, does not leave the Jewish people and will not leave the Jewish people. This strength and this trust we need to convey to everyone.
1:24 We are not afraid and not dismayed by anything in the world, and we will keep learning Torah and praying. We are a people of eternity, A people of eternity, a people that will never be ashamed. Increasing in prayer, increasing in supplications, before the Holy One, blessed be He, and before the great, mighty and awesome G-d.
