  1. The following is text to his Dvar Torah:
    ??? ??? ?? ???? means that there were no ????? because you could not find the wife of a ???, and obviously there were no ?????. It is as if ???? ???? ??? ??? a lot of women made shidduchim with ?????. If it is ??? ??? ?? ????, then how can it be ???? ???? ??? ????
    Maybe you can say ???? that it means something different: ??? ??? ?? ???? – there were no men who were ?????, but ???? ???? ??? ??? – a lot of girls became ?????.
    ??????, it is ???? ????? ??? ????? the ???? ??? says for a woman to become a ???? because ??? ???? ?? ??? ?????. So how can a lot of girls become ??????
    Maybe it is talking about the ???? of ????? ???? ??? ???? ?? ?? ??? ?????, meaning the following: if you hold that ????? ???? is ??? ????, then it is not the ??? for an individual women to be ????. Therefore women can be ?????.
    If you hold ????? ???? is ?? ??? ????? only ????? ????, then ?????? for a whole group of women it is not such an ???? for it not to be a ??? for a lot of women to be ????. So therefore, maybe ????? held that or maybe ???? ???? held that ????? ???? is ??? ?????, and ????? ???? is ?? ??? ?????. Therefore it is possible for a women to become a ????. Therefore the ???? ??? held that ????? ???? ??? ????, and therefore a women can not be a ????. However, ????? we do not hold like that: we hold that ????? ???? is ?? ??? ?????. That is why it is the ???? ??? and not the ???? ????? because he only held of ????? ????. That is why he takeh says ???? ???? ??? ??? – a ????? – one ?? cant be a ???, but ???? ???? ??? ??? – only ????? ????.
    ???????, it is clearly not like that because the ????? paskens ?????? that ????? ???? is ??? ????
    because it says ??? ????? ?? ????? ??? ???? – and there it was ????? ???? and it was called ?????.
    ???????, even ???? proves that ????? ???? ??? ????? because the ???? says that
    ???? ??????? ???? (????? ??)
    ???? was a vegetable, and we know that what do you do with ?????? You pickle them. So she was ????, and she was only ????? ????. So ???? was a pickle who was ???? and ???? ???? ??? ?????.
    ???????, you cant either say that whatever the ???? ??? held, they did not hold like that in ????? because it says ??????:
    “????? ????? ???” – that they did takeh like the ???? ???. So ??????? that cant be ??? in the ????.
    Maybe the ??? is like this: because there were ???? ???? ??? ???, it does not say that they became ?????, but also ???. Since there is a shidduch crisis, there are a lot of girls who cant get married, and why because boys do not get married since they are learning they do not get married until they are older. They only want younger girls. The girls who are the same age do not get married because the older boys do not want to marry older girls. They want to marry the younger girls, so all those older girls do not get married. Since there is a problem of ???? ????, because a lot of girls can not get married, so they decided ??? ??? – they decided that instead of learning, guys should go into the army. Go into the army at 20 and get married earlier. In this way, it would solve the shidduch problem.
    That is why haman also, he wanted to destroy ??? ?????, but he had a ??? how to do it: could he agree with these girls, that all the guys should go into the army and that way it is the same thing as destroying ??? ?????, or better to destroy them ???????. That is why he ??? ?????: there are two ?????? there: one is with an alef, and one is with an eyin. Either he wanted to destroy them completely if he could not get them to stop learning, but if he could get them to stop learning and go to work or go into the army, then he would not have to destroy them completely that would destroy them anyway. So therefore haman had a safek, and that is why ???????, it says in the beginning of the ?????:
    ??? ??? ???? – This is ???? that the only ones in the army were the ???? ??? ????. In the end of the ????? it says, ??? ?? ?? ?????? – The ????? also went into the army. ??????? ???? that these girls had some kind of success in getting the guys into the army so that they can get married younger.
    haman himself held that it would not work because haman himself was a soldier. How do you know haman was a soldier? It says ??? ??? ???? ??????? ???? ???????. It says by haman that he was a ??:
    ???? ?? ???? ??? ?? ????? – So haman was part of the army, and still haman did not marry somebody older than him; he married somebody younger than him. How do you know that? because it says that he married ???.
    ??? ???? ???? ???? besides the fact that we know when haman married ???, she was only three years old. How do you know that? It says ????? ??? ???? ???? – he gave her a haircut. Now why in the world would it mention in the ????? that haman gave his wife a haircut? It must mean that he gave her a ???? when she was three. However, we know that only boys have ????s? That is only ???? ???, where the ???? is that girls have long hair and boys have short hair. So at three years old when the ??? comes you make a ????? between a boy and a girl, so you give the boy a short haircut to show that he is a boy. That is the ???? of a ????. In those days, it was just the opposite: men had long hair and girls had short hair. How do I know that? It says ???????? had tremendously long hair. It says ?? ???? ???? ????? ???? ???? – all of his ????? were able to sit in his hair. It says ????? ???? ???? ???? – even ????? was there in his hair. So ???????? had a lot of hair. Maybe ???????? was a ????? No! we cant say that because
    ???? ?? ???? ????. So ???????? of course drank wine; he was not a ????. It must mean that in those days, the ???? was for men to have long hair, and the women did not have long hair. A ????? ?????, it says ???? did not want to come to ???????? either because ???? ?? ???? – on her forehead she had ????, or a ??? horn went out. ??????, if she had long hair, what wa the big deal, she could cover it with her hair? It must mean that women back then had very short haircuts, and therefore she could not cover ???? and cover the ??? with her hair.
