PulsingFlower: It’s just that I don’t think Rabbi/Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Nony Mouse needs all that for some chizuk. People who come here to read and recharge chizuk (me the most) will usually appreciate the kind our resident Rebbitzen (Bubby) wrote. Short and very sweet, heartfelt and uplifting. The long megilla is over-emphasis of iyun! (couldn’t resist that)
And (to hijack this thread ?? ?????) it’s not wasting time working out every k’lomar in Rashi and every v’od in tosfos. It’s giving tremendous honor both to Rashi & Tosfos, and to the Nosain HaTorah Himself. It’s a living practical illustration and demonstration that every word and letter in the Torah is laden with meaning. No waste at all. That’s called true ??????. I’m not sure, but I think one who delves deeply to really understand, in earnest (not for pilpul or honors, or even mind-sharpening exercising) will not lose out in knowing “a bunch” too.
