The specific day on which Purim is celebrated depends on the location; in places where Purim is celebrated on the fourteenth, it is not celebrated on the fifteenth, and vice versa. The original observance of Purim as a festival was established by the sages and the prophets, who decreed that it be observed in every generation, as we read in the Megillah: "To establish these days of Purim at their appropriate times" (9:31). The Talmud (Megillah 2b) explains: "these days . . . at their appropriate times—i.e., the time appropriate for one [city] is not appropriate for the other [city]." Why were different days established as Purim in different cities? Why wasn't one day chosen as Purim in all cities, just as other festivals are celebrated on the same day in every city? We find that even in the times of Mordechai and Esther, Purim was celebrated on a different day in Shushan than in the other cities. In all other cities, the battle against the enemies of the Jews took place on the thirteenth of Adar, and the people rested and celebrated on the fourteenth of Adar. In Shushan, however, the battle took place on the thirteenth and fourteenth of Adar, and the people rested and celebrated only on the fifteenth. In principle, then, only the city of Shushan should celebrate on the fifteenth of Adar, for it was only there that Purim was celebrated on that day. The sages of that era, however, wished to accord honor to Jerusalem and to the Land of Israel which was desolate at the time. They therefore issued the following ruling: Shushan, where the miracle occurred, has an importance of its own and celebrates Purim on the fifteenth, even though it was not settled and thus did not have a surrounding wall at the time when Yehoshua (Joshua) bin Nun conquered the Land of Israel. Other cities which were settled and had walls at the time of Yehoshua bin Nun, even if they are in a state of ruin and are no longer surrounded by walls, are considered to be important, and their present state of destruction (when the sages established the holiday of Purim) is considered to be temporary. They are therefore accorded the status of Shushan and celebrate Purim on the fifteenth. Cities which did not have surrounding walls at the time of Yehoshua bin Nun, even if they have walls surrounding them today, are to celebrate Purim on the fourteenth of Adar. All of the above applies to cities both in the Land of Israel and outside it. Hence, the Purim which is celebrated on the fourteenth of Adar is referred to as Purim of the "open" [i.e., unwalled, or less important] cities, whereas the Purim which is celebrated on the fifteenth is referred to as Purim of the "walled," major, cities. Today, the only city in which Purim is celebrated on the fifteenth of Adar (besides Shushan) is Jerusalem. Although the Megillah is also read on the fifteenth of Adar in a number of other cities in the Land of Israel, including Acre, Jaffa, and Tiberias, this is only a custom based on the possibility that they may have been surrounded by walls at the time of Joshua. In these places, the Megillah reading on the fifteenth is done without reciting the blessings. For all other purposes, these cities celebrate Purim on the fourteenth.

PURIM "Let the King and Haman come today" (Esther 5;4) As the King extends his scepter to Esther he asks her: "What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half of the kingdom will be given to you." And Esther said "If it is good for the King, let the King and Haman come today to the banquet which I have prepared for him." (Esther 5;3-4) This, it appears, is Esther's entire request. The Maharal in "Or Chadash" comments on this: "Let the King and Haman come today" – the first letters of the four Hebrew words-"yavo hamelech v'haman hayom"- yud, heh, vav, heh- spell G-d's name (page 165). The simple meaning of this is that Esther invites the King and Haman to her banquet. But the truth is that Esther invites someone else as well. In her heart she invites the Almighty to assist her. And what is likely to happen if the King and Haman come to the banquet? Obviously Esther has no intention of simply throwing a party to honor the king and his prime minister. Her motive was to save the Jewish people. She therefore prayed in her heart for Divine assistance, that the Holy One blessed be He also be present and stand by her side. And so we have a gathering on two levels- human and divine, revealed and hidden. The main idea of the Megillah is to teach us how to reveal the Almighty when He is hidden from us and pulls the strings from behind the scene. We need to recognize to identify the hidden hand of G-d which operates in secret and which is often found in the everyday activities of mankind. And it is in this manner that the Almighty brings about the salvation of Israel. Everything which transpires in the Megillah is seemingly the acts of human beings operating from human motives- and through their actions G-d brings salvation to the People of Israel.

Because farmers milk them dry. Where does Dracula keep his money? In a blood bank. Where does a penguin keep its money? In a snowbank. Where do fish keep their money? In a riverbank. How do dinosaurs pay their bills? With Tyrannosaurus checks. Where can you always find money? In the dictionary. What did the duck say after he went shopping? Put it on my bill. What did the football coach say to the broken vending machine? Give me my quarterback. I lost my job at the bank on my very first day. An old man asked me to check his balance, so I pushed him over. A lot of people don't know this, but one of the greatest basketball players of all time was Jewish. He was known as Shekel O'Neal Moishe is standing at a Jewish concert and suddenly noticed he lost his wallet. He got up on the stage and makes an announcement, "Excuse me ladies and gentlemen, I've just lost my wallet with over 5000 shekels in it. To the person that finds my wallet, I will give 500 shek!" A voice from the back of the auditorium shouted back, "I will give 750!" It's morning in Tel Aviv and inside THE KOSHER MOTOR garage, Jeremy Landau, one of the City's brightest mechanics, has started to repair the engine of an old Ford. As he removes the Ford's cylinder head, he notices Dr. David Goldblatt, a respected cardiologist, arriving to pick up his Mercedes which Jeremy has just finished servicing. Jeremy calls over to Dr Goldblatt, "Could you come over here please doctor, I'd like to show you something." Dr Goldblatt walks over. "So nu, Jeremy," he says, "what's this thing that's so important?" Pointing to the Ford and with a mischievous smile on his face, Jeremy replies, "I have a question for you. Just look at this engine, doctor. I've just opened up its heart. I will then carefully remove its valves and when I've done this, I will look for any existing damage. When I find it, which I always do, I will carefully repair it and put everything back together again and it will then work like new. So, doctor, my question to you is this: even though you and I are basically doing the same kind of work, how come I'm on a salary of just under 160,000 shekels a year whereas you probably take home around 1 million shekels a year?" Dr Goldblatt thinks about this for a few seconds, then smiles and replies, "The difference is, Jeremy …. try doing your work with the engine running." After what he felt was an incredible performance on evening cantor Baruch Steinberg - trying to impress- disclosed to the audience in the room that his voice is insured with Lloyds of London for 1 million dollars. All of a sudden Yankel from the back of the room pipes up "so what did you do with the money?" NOW RESPECTFULLY HERE IS WISE COUNSEL. One who breaks an unjust law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law. Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King, Jr. clergyman, activist, and prominent leader There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.
