Should be above what they do and not what they don’t do.
It says פושעי ישראל מלאים מצות כרמון, the worst of Jews are filled with mitzvos like a pomegranate, so let us look at what they and not what they don’t do.
Look at the Rabbenu Bachaya in Parashas Ki Siso on not counting each other directly as it separates the good and bad. Hashem on Rosh Hashana sees us with one stare. Bolok told Bilom to find a place where he can only see some of the Jews but not all because if he sees all, nothing bad can effect them.
When we are united, every yid is considered a big tzadik, so when we daven, we should accept the mitzva of loving each other and our tefilos will be accepted together. See Magen Avraham in the beginning of Shulchan Aruch in the name of the Ari z’l.
The gemora says that Vashti retorted to Achashverus, you were a stable boy to my father, Balshatzar, the grandson of Nebuchadnetazar. My father drank a thousand glasses of wine and he did not become drunk but you drank one glass of wine and became drunk. Maybe, to tie the two retorts of Vashti, my father was reach so he could afford wine, drank a lot and became immune to its effects whereas you were a stable boy who could not afford wine, did not become immune to it and become drunk.
Thank you for your PSA information.
CS, what are you saying, it spells TROLL?
We say עד דלא ידע ולא עד בכלל, until but not inclusive, as I pointed from a ramez from the Torah that when it comes to becoming drunk, a person should stop at the borderline before he cannot differentiate between Haman ym’s and Mordechai z’l. I read from a dedication of a book from Victor Hugo, if the soul is left in darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not the one who commits the sin but the one who causes the darkness. A drunk driver is not responsible for driving drunk but by bringing oneself to the level of not being able to resist his driving when being drunk. The gemora mentions the story of Rabeh slaughtered Rebbe Zeire and revived him. It could be wine reveals secrets (see the Kli Yakar at the end of Shelach on Ayin Beayin) and the next year they were more careful by drinking.
Wolf, if they were sure about themselves and not be a coward having an inferiority complex there would be no need to create an unprovoked war with false pretenses. Ahashveros showed his wealth because he had to show his greatness as explained by the Malbim, so does Trump.
Trump and Putin are guilty of psychological projection כל הפוסל במומו פוסל one who faults, faults with their own faults.
If we take the letters after hashomayim, השמים תחת – ו,ת,נ,כ,נ, under hashomayim, adds up to 6 plus 400 plus 50 plus 20 plus 50 = 526 same as שכור, indicating even when we are drunk we should not forget amolek.
For those who don’t understand above, with the same feet one cannot dance at two weddings at the same time.
The Iyyun Yaakov on the Ein Yaakov explains the idea of blessing Haman ym’s and ch’v cursing Mordechai. When one is inebriated, he might ch’v curse Mordechai as he started up with Haman ym’s and bless Haman ym’s as he accomplished what 48 neviim could not. He was able to turn the Jews to teshuva. The Chasam Sofer explains that Mordechai could not bow down to Haman as he wore an idol, getchke. The others had an excuse that they are bowing down to give him respect (see the RMA YD 150) but Haman ym’s was Mordechai’s servant. Mordechai actually showed him the contract of selling himself for some bread in the desert.
The RMA says to drink such that one falls asleep and in that state one is performing the mitzva of not knowing to differentiate between Haman ym’s and Mordechai.
It was my father’s favored saying.
There is another famous story about the two brothers who stayed in a motel and their room was situated next to the bar. A drunken soldier picks one of them up and starts dancing with him. He continues this many times. Eventually the dancing brother has enough and tells his brother let us change places such that next time he will dance with you. So the soldier arrives and says, I danced enough with you now I will dance with the other one. A saying developed from the rebbe who said, ob es is beshert zu tanzen, tanzt man, if it is fated to dance, one dances.

People get what they deserve.
Yosef being a leader was niftar before any of the other shevatim having to worry about the needs of all.
A politician has to stretch the truth which I am reluctant to do.
abukspan, why do you repeat the same dvar Torah twice under a different title?
Salt indicates also not to be stingy as Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt because of not providing salt to the poor. We don’t appreciate salt as we should but when take it away, we come to realize what we are missing.
He might have had another illness and COVID was just the finishing touch.
It says זבחי אלקים רוח נשברה the purpose of a sacrifice is to break our spirit to realize the sin and whatever is being done to it should be done to us.
We should remember that salt water is like tears and salt softens the meat as pain softens the sins but too much salt destroys the meat.
The translation of the above is, to rely and put your trust on tzadikim.
I heard from Rav Sheinberg the interpretation of the bracha משען ומבטח לצדיקים, as he was holding on to me and considering me a tzadik.
I can become a chavrusa on the telephone.
