Class Summary:
This class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Pekudei, 25 Adar II, 5784, March 12, 2024, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
In one of the most bizarre Talmudic stories (Megilah 7b), two of the greatest Talmudic sages feast on Purim together. They are inebriated and one of them slaughters his friend. The next day he brings him back to life. The following year he invites his colleague for another Purim meal.
This fascinating class, based on an address of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, re-invents the meaning of the story, and applies it to our daily opportunity to link heaven and earth.
Purim represents the gift to experience an ego-death, the portal to true inner connection and bliss.

If I remember correctly, you mentioned the 250 ppl of korach chose their fate knowingly, in order to experience that amazing closeness to Hashem

Indeed. And the same with many high priests during the second temple who went in to the holy of holies on Yom Kippur and never came out.

That even the physical and sensual which may seem disconnected -- is part of oneness.
more about that in this week's women's class about queen Esther.

Enter the contest to marry a no Jewish king, one who killed the previous queen?

The contest was for besulos. Why would she be forced into a contest of besulos if she was married to Mordechai and was obviously not a besula?
