On Jack Swartsh and kabbalah.....
After thirty years of prayers I still frown when thinking of chanukkah and purim and my past experiences. There is no need to intoxicate myself to feel the thin tread that balance between the faculties of the soul. From the lowest to the highest. What this cartoon depict is the pure heart of that little girl, Miri ( esther ) and the joy she feels in performing a mitzvah.
The woman I married and who follows me on my left side is much like Esther. But there is a time span between the giving of the Torah and the acceptance of the Torah. And it´s not all in the clothes or the white gown of marriage. A pure heart, like this little girl, is the key.
Happy Purim and blessings.

Sweet I don't know how many times I've watched this (and I'm still watching it after Purim!). It is so well done -- a neatly packed message. I think what makes it is the sweet voice of 'Esther,' or is it Esther?! Reply
Awesome!!!!!
' Dress her in that regal finery and immediately you see her true essence come out. The clothes become her—because they really are her clothes.'
Miri same inside and outside. Attainable???? Yes, I conclude but not without the help from Above. Happy Purim everyone!!!!!!

A Universal Message Fantastic! The message is clear, the way it is delivered amusing. This message reaches more people than might admit it, even those outside chabad would understand and,perhaps, take on its message. Reply
confusing
I think the whole point of dressing up is to show that things are NOT how they always appear on the outside.
It's acutally a custom to dress up as non-jews to express this idea. I'm not suggesting children shouldnt dress up as Esther but for the lesson we learn from dressing up, this is not the idea but is confusing. On the upnote, brilliant presentation!!! Thanks!

Feivel is a mechanical pet using a patented algorithm for consciousness and (partially) controlled by a mind-heart interface. See the Feivel Suite for more information.
Nothing unkosher about that.

To the above Feivel Post: I think Feivel is a Sheep, which is Kosher. As in the flying insect, perhaps a flying grasshopper. Reply
Feivel Great idea, but, in keeping with the Rebbe's directives, can the cute animals in the next episodes be kosher? Reply

R. Infinity: thanks for the permission slip.
i'll try not to be late for Brain Gym again.
However, i'm still up in the air about how the Book of Esther; and Esther's victory is evident in the mores and customs of Purim.
Esther's heroine-ism, is evident in her sobriety; she saves her people. (Israel).
?? Ca va?
though i too often have avoided the "well i'll give it to you straight'" sobriety of the Torah, i can't help but think and remember and meditate on psalm 23:
The Lord is my shepherd
i shall not want ...
he lays me down in green pastures.
...
... though i walk in the valley of deep shadow ... my soul he refreshes ...
(and truly, Jack or Jill, my soul does give forth in ... weeping)
If you forget your portfolio; there is always the Bible, my friend.
