Rabbi Chaim Mintz - "They Tormented Me For Twenty Years"

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Chaim Mintz’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

So we are into the month of Ador and we have a general rule. When ador comes we are into the joy the happiness of the season less than two weeks ahead of us and uh we're supposed to make the whole month of our a joyous one a happy one not just the porm itself one a happy one not just the porm itself days before purim days after purim because the whole month turns from from a situation the Jews were in from of mourning unhappiness into a very wonderful miracle that God made for the Jewish people. So the whole month is a month of joy. Try to be as happy as we can as possible. And as the month gets closer to Purim, the joy anticipation closer to Purim, the joy anticipation grows. Of course, as adults, as mature people, we have to try to realize that we're not children anymore. And uh children celebrate Purim with masquerading and all different types of things for kids. And some people never grow up, you know, we just seem to take Purum the same way it was when we were little children. But we must realize that as we children. But we must realize that as we grow older and we're more mature, just like in our physical and mundane ideas and uh the expectations of life change to a more mature kind of thinking and doing. The same way when it comes to our spiritual needs and ideas, they have to mature with us. The same way we can't be children our whole life
