Happy Purim!!!

The difference is that Purim avoided a disaster...The Shoah, the disaster already happened.

There is a connection between Purim and the Nazis... Read this story which I have heard several times:

http://ohr.edu/holidays/purim/deeper_insights/3440

On 1 October 1946, after 216 court sessions, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its verdicts sentencing the leaders of the Nazi party to death by hanging. The author of the following account, Kingsbury Smith of the International News Service, was chosen by lot to represent the American press at the execution of ten of those leaders.

16 October 1946
International News Service

    …Julius Streicher made his melodramatic appearance at 2:12 a.m.

    While his manacles were being removed and his bare hands bound, this ugly, dwarfish little man, wearing a threadbare suit and a well-worn bluish shirt buttoned to the neck but without a tie (he was notorious during his days of power for his flashy dress), glanced at the three wooden scaffolds rising menacingly in front of him. Then he glanced around the room, his eyes resting momentarily upon the small group of witnesses. By this time, his hands were tied securely behind his back. Two guards, one on each arm, directed him to Number One gallows on the left of the entrance. He walked steadily the six feet to the first wooden step but his face was twitching.

    As the guards stopped him at the bottom of the steps for identification formality he uttered his piercing scream: 'Heil Hitler!'

    The shriek sent a shiver down my back.

    As its echo died away an American colonel standing by the steps said sharply, 'Ask the man his name.' In response to the interpreter's query Streicher shouted, 'You know my name well.'

    The interpreter repeated his request and the condemned man yelled, 'Julius Streicher.'

    As he reached the platform Streicher cried out, 'Now it goes to G-d.' He was pushed the last two steps to the mortal spot beneath the hangman's rope. The rope was being held back against a wooden rail by the hangman.

    Streicher was swung suddenly to face the witnesses and glared at them. Suddenly he screamed, 'Purim Fest 1946.' [Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrated in the spring, commemorating the execution of Haman, ancient persecutor of the Jews described in The Tanach]…

The Famous “Code” in the Scroll of Esther

The Vilna Gaon, an 18th century scholar, wrote in his “all that was, is, and will be until the end of time is included in the Torah…not just in the general sense, but… (even) the most minute details.”

For centuries, Jewish sages have been uncovering hidden secrets in the Torah. Following is a famous example, reflecting events in the twentieth century, which is found not in the Five Books of Moses, but in the Scroll of Esther.

When listing the ten sons of Haman who were hanged (Esther 9:6-10), three letters, namely Taf, Shin, and Zayin, are written smaller than the rest. The commentaries offer no explanation for this other than that it is a prophecy. The letters “Taf-Shin-Zayin” represent the Hebrew year 5707, corresponding to the secular year 1946.

On October 16, 1946 ten convicted Nazi war criminals were hanged in Nuremberg. (An eleventh, Hermann Goering, a transvestite, committed suicide in his cell. Jewish tradition tells us that Haman also had a daughter who committed suicide.) As if the parallel were not obvious enough without further corroboration, Nazi Julius Streicher’s last words were, “Purimfest 1946.”

(In case you question the accuracy of Streicher’s last words, they are are well-documented; they appeared in Newsweek, October 28, 1946.)

It is fairly safe to assume that
(a) Streicher did not know about the three small letters in the Scroll of Esther,
(b) he did not know that these letters corresponded to the year in which he was being hanged, and
(c) even had he known, he would have had no motivation to reinforce the validity of Jewish texts, traditions, or prophecies.

"Six million for Redemption -a deal made with Haman"

"It is gut wrenching to report, but there is an end-times source for this Holocaust in America. Zechariya HaNavi tells us that two out of three of us will not make it. Only one-third of Klal Yisrael will be refined to welcome Mashiach.

In 1939 there were 18 million Jews in the world. Hitler, yemach shmo, took a third, but because they died for the Sanctification of HaShem's Name, they have a spiritual rebirth in our time. In the American Holocaust, another one-third has no spiritual rebirth, for they chose their path, sometimes through total ignorance. This leaves the original six million taken by Hitler, yemach shmo, who are here to say "Baruch HaBah" to Mashiach. Thank G-d, that the original six million has divided up into 6 million men and 6 million women for a total of 12 million Halakhic Jews in the world. The reason for this is steeped in Kabbala and has to do with the number of Jews that Haman purchased for slaughter with 10,000 Kikar. You can read about it in my article "6 million for Makhzit HaShekel" on my blog site.

The calculation is not so complicated. When Yosef was sold into slavery, each of the ten brothers received 2 dinar which according to most sources was equal to 1/2 of a Shekel or Makhzit HaShekel. The total 20 dinar received for the sale was therefore equal to five shekel, the amount which is equivalent to redeeming the firstborn, Pidyon HaBen. As our sources tell us, the coins were then used to buy shoes from the Midyanim who were passing by at the same time as the Yishmaelim. Since Yosef represented 1/10th of those who benefited from the transaction, a tikun of Makhzit HaShekel makes sense. 600,000 men at Sinai would give 300,000 shekel which would purchase 300,000 divided by five equalling 60,000 Josephs back from slavery. How Yosef would be rewarded with the 36 silver crowns is described in my article. Of course this relates Chanukah to Purim, probably a subject of another article.

It is worth noting that the Makhzit HaShekel (half shekel - LB) coin was actually a coin that was worth twice as much with twice as much silver since the crime of selling Yosef against his will required the brothers to pay back double, "kefel". After the Chait HaEigel, the Makhzit HaShekel would not suffice to bring Klal Yisrael back to the "Gate of Gan Eden" from which we fell back because of that Chait, for now all 600,000 needed to be redeemed. This, of course would require 6 million Jewish men giving 3 million shekel. You see, the Chait HaEigel (sin of the golden calf - LB) is intimately intertwined with Mechirat Yosef (sale of Joseph - LB), for the same plate that was used to cause Yosef to rise out of his burial spot in the Nile was used later by the sons of Bilaam to cause the Eigel to appear from the fire into which Aharon had thrown the gold.

When Haman put 10,000 kikar of silver into the genizah (treasury - LB) of the King, he intended to buy all the Jews for slaughter. The question arises how many Jews did he purchase. From Parshat Pekudei we see that 603,550 men in the desert contributed from Makhzit HaShekel 100 kikar of silver for the Adanim (one kikar for each socket holding together the fifty beams that formed the skeleton for the tabernacle, two sockets for each beam, one on top and one on the bottom) plus 1775 additional shekel for the hooks on the pillars. The 1775 additional shekels come the 3550 Jews over the exact 600,000 figure. Since exactly 600,000 Jews gave 300,000 shekel of silver which equals 100 kikar, we get a conversion factor of 3,000 shekel /kikar of silver. 10,000 kikar times 3000 shekel /kikar equals 30 million shekel. 30 million shekel divided by five shekel per person purchased six million Jews for slaughter! HaShem said that Amalek's purchase was valid, but not in that generation. Only a generation just before Mashiach would come would need such merit for Mashiach to come. In the merit of that 6 million who perished, 6 million male Jews and 6 million female Jews will witness the miracles of Israel's great redemption speedily in our day and will willingly donate 3 million shekel for the Third Temple effectively cleansing our Sin of the Eigel HaZahav."

Huh?

[muman613]

Huh?

What are you Huh?ing?

We just celebrated Purim, the Holiday which commemorates the Jews overcoming an evil decree against them in Persia. In the end the bad guy gets hung on the very gallows he built to hang the hero.... It is an incredible and divine case of Turnaround!

[angryChineseKahanist]

Ah. Now I understand.
Sorry, I'm not up on that.
