The four special mitzvahs of Purim all start with the letter “mem”: 1) Megillah, 2) Mishloach manot (sending food gifts to friends), 3) Matanot la’evyonim (charity to the poor), and 4) Mishteh (a festive meal). What is the deeper significance of this connection?

Can you please explain why I am seeing this word for Purim in Hebrew? מֻּרִים..... and not just spelled with a Pey? Why is the Mem here at the beginning? Thank you so much for your videos and teaching. Reply

Amazingly beautiful - brought me to tears. This week I prayed for Purim to be personal for me this year - deeply meaningful. Prayer answered through the wonderful discovery of my experiences and analysis of them through the lens of this revelatory teaching. Hokhmah & Binah kiss. Reply
