CLASS #2: CH. 1, 2 -9: THE RECKLESSNESS OF THE THE STAGE OF YOUTH:

Megilas Esther & the Haggadah based on the Mechir Yayin Commentary

WHEN A PERSON BEGINS TO UNDERSTAND THINGS, HE REALIZES THAT A WONDROUS WORLD HAS BEEN DEPOSITED IN HIS HANDS: ONCE HE IS WEANED, THE YETZER HORA SEDUCES THE PERSN TO FILL HIMSELF UP WITH ALL THE PHYSICAL PLEASURES: THIS HAPPENS AS MAN SEES THE GLORY OF HIS STATUS UNDER THE HEAVENS. MAN IMAGINES THAT HE WILL FILL HIS DAYS ON OLAM HAZAH & TURN TO FEASTS WHERE HE ASSOCIATES WITH LOW-LIFES. ALSO IN HIS SEICHEL WHICH IS THE COURTYARD OF THE KING, HE INDULGES HIS LUSTS WHILE IN THE GARDEN. HASHEM PROVIDES BEFORE THE YOUNG PERSON VARIOUS MEANS TO DEVELOP SEICHEL FROM THEM - BUT HE REFUSES TO MAKE USE OF THEM. MAN GOES WITH HASHEM’S GIFTS AFTER MANY WOMEN AND PLEASURES: THE CREATOR DOES NOT FORCE MAN TO SIN.VASHTI SYMBOLIZES THE CHOMER THAT BECOMES WORTHLESS.
