| [When Achashverosh declared that he would] "do the will of each and every one" (Esther 1:8), G-d said: "Wicked one! If two people desire to marry the same woman, can she marry both of them? If there are two sailing ships out in the ocean, and one requires a southern wind and the other requires a northern wind, could one wind move them both? Tomorrow, two people will come to you, Mordechai and Haman; could you satisfy both, but to promote the one and hang the other...? The only one who can 'do the will of each and every one' is G-d, of whom it is written (Psalms 145:16) "You open Your Hand, and satisfy every life and will...'" |

Thought for the Day |
Father's Anticipation
Delight lies at the core of heart and mind.
Deep within a father's soul, even the father whose face is stern and heart feels cold, yet without doubt there lies the spark of the child, his innermost delight.
Within the child the spark lies as well, perhaps more dormant, quieter, without a flicker, yet there.
The Master of All Things sits in judgment over His world, awaiting the moment His children will call Him 'Father.'

Parshah
Haazinu
He found him in a desert land
In the waste howling wilderness;
He led him about, He instructed him
He kept him as the apple of His eye
As an eagle stirs up her nest
Broods over her young
Spreads abroad her wings
Takes them, bears them on her pinions...
