There Is a Certain People
144. There Is a Certain People
I heard on the night of Purim, after reading the Megillah, 1950
“There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples.” Haman said that in his view, we will succeed in destroying the Jews because they are separated from one another; hence, our power against them will certainly prevail, as it causes separation between man and the Creator. And the Creator will not help them anyway, since they are separated from Him. This is why Mordecai went to correct that flaw, as it is explained in the verse, “the Jews gathered,” etc., “to gather and to stand up for their lives.” This means that they saved themselves by uniting.
