Baruch HaShem, we merited to pass through the festival of Purim. Even amid the sirens and rockets, we here in the Holy Land were privileged to fulfill the mitzvah of blotting out the name of Haman.

Now we are approaching the festival of Pesach, and we ask you to be among the first to fulfill the very first halachah mentioned in the laws of Pesach—to give ma'ot chittim (charity for Pesach needs), especially for the poor families of Breslov Chasidim in the Holy Land.

May we all merit to hear good and joyful news.

BRI PARSHAH TIDBITS

"For how, then, will it be known that I have found favor in Your eyes…?" (Exodus 33:16)

In what way is the kingship of a king expressed? When people carry out what the king requests.

But on the other hand, when someone asks the king for something and he fulfills that request, it may appear as though he is diminishing his kingship—seemingly giving up something of his own for the sake of another.

In lesson 1 of Likutey Moharan, Rebbe Nachman teaches that the reason the prayers and requests of Israel are sometimes not accepted is because they lack chen—grace and favor. Tragically, due to our many shortcomings, this chen has fallen into places of impurity.

Just look at the world: how much beauty and sophistication there is in the tools and technologies people admire—and at the same time, how the study of Torah is sometimes treated with disgrace.

Then came Moses, the true leader of Israel. He pleaded and even argued with the King of the universe:
"Forgive Your children and forgo their wrongdoing—and if not, erase me from Your book!"

What powerful words of grace and devotion—refusing to give up on even a single Jew. And HaShem accepted all his words. Even more than that: He taught him the order of the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy, so that we would know how to pray in the future.

Did HaShem's kingship become diminished because He listened to Moshe's prayer? Certainly not.

On the contrary—this is the essence of true kingship. HaShem desires from us only prayer and supplication—that we should pray, plead, and even "persuade" Him, so to speak, to listen to us.

When a person truly understands that he is speaking to the King, the One in whose hands everything rests, he also realizes that whatever he receives is not something he deserves. Then he internalizes that everything he has depends solely on HaShem. This does not lessen HaShem's kingship; rather, it strengthens within us the awareness that He alone is the King.

The conclusion is clear: the more we engage in hitbodedut and pray with simplicity, with the understanding that He is the King, the more we draw HaShem's presence upon ourselves.

May it be HaShem's will that we merit to see His kingship revealed throughout the entire world, until the complete redemption very soon, amen.

Shabbat Shalom.
