It's rare that I have to correct Billy It's very !i""icult so#eti#es to get a $or! in $hen he's hot an! heavyon a %articular sub&ect I &ust $ante! to give #aybe cre!it $here cre!it is !ue, an! that it really $asn't so

#uch #ysel" as it $as Karen Berg Re"erring to the (ohar %ro&ect)

*n a lighter note, so#eone as+e! #e, I thin+ it $as itan, as+e! #e -Rav, you're about the only one in this

$hole %lace that isn't #as+e!, #as.uera!ing as so#ebo!y else- I thought about that "or a #o#ent, an!

then I sai! -I'# %robably the #ost conceale! %erson in this entire roo#-

/onight $e celebrate uri#, as a very i#%ortant an! #o#entous occasion ere $e're going to celebrate,tonight, the %o$er, the %o$er as $e've been taught in Kabbalah, the %o$er o" the #in!, %o$er o" Kabbalah,

an! conse.uently the avoi!ance o" unli#ite!, #ost !ays, #ost ti#es, she!!ing o" bloo! As o%%ose! to

another situation, another con!ition, another circu#stance, that $e in this year o" 2003 are about to $itness,

%robably A $ar that it see#s #any are "or an! #any are against, an! $here there !oesn't see# to be any,

any consistency o" an o%inion

/onight $e've co#e to rea! the Megillah, the Megillot sther or #e, an! I guess "or #ost %eo%le in the

$orl! $ho are not %artici%ating in an event such as ours this evening, "or the# the rea!ing o" the Megillahis &ust another re%etition o" a, o" $hat see#s to be a victory that too+ %lace over 2000 years ago An! as $e

notice! on the "il# o" han!ing out inchas (ohar's in Ra#allah) the (ohar has no li#itations, no

boun!aries In "act, it is our %ass%ort to hu#anity

hen $e rea! in the Megillah, the "inal verse, "inal verse, closing out this $on!er"ul section, this

$on!er"ul %iece o" history, in $hich it a%%ears, although incorrect, that the 4e$s $ere victorious An! at

the en!, $hen Mor!echai $as acclai#e! the lea!er in this #assive #ove#ent to avoi! bloo!she!, to avoi!

con"lict, an! yet, an! yet acco#%lish the re#oval o" so#eone $ho $as bent on !estruction, a#an It says

that this syste#, $hich $as e#%loye! by Mor!echai an! 5aniel, this syste#, the syste# o" Kabbalah, that

can bring together the 66 an! have !o#inion over that 1 o" chaos hich on the sur"ace a%%eare! tohave been so !i""icult As in our ti#es All the chaos that $e observe an! notice aroun! us relates to the

%hysical reality o" 1 An! so#eho$ this hu#an civili8ation see#s to lac+ the ability to !o a$ay $ith

chaos

An! I'# not re"erring to $ar as one "or#, or the "or# o" chaos, but the chaos that each an! every single one

o" us un!ergo each an! every single !ay o" our lives At this verse, at the en! o" this rea!ing o" the

Megillah, it says that #ost %eo%le, #ost %eo%le recogni8e the %o$er o" the #in!, the %o$er o" 66, an! the

%o$er o" Kabbalah An! as you $ill notice in your re"erence boo+s $hen $e rea! an! reveal the secret66 you $ill notice #any #e!itations o$ever, at that #o#ent in ti#e, $hen the entire $orl! en&oye!

the co#ing o" %eace, love, brotherhoo!, there $ere still a "e$ $ho re"use! to recogni8e the 66

9o !i""erent than to!ay 9o !i""erent than at any ti#e in %ast over these 3,:00 years /hey %ersist, as they

%ersist to!ay, in bringing to our consciousness that the only solution, the only solution to %eace is

!estruction /he #eans al$ays &usti"ies the en! an! the en! al$ays &usti"ies the #eans

An! then there's another verse, in the Megillah, $hich says that King Ahasuerus, the +ing o" then theersian #%ire, s%o+e to sther an! sai! $hat, $hat is your $ish But strangely enough, bet$een the

$or!s o" -the +ing says to sther $hat is your $ish-, in bet$een, there is so#ething $hich is so totally

unrelate! to the sub&ect #atter, an! yet inserte! there to ostensibly have no #eaning An! that $as, an! it

!oesn't say they observe! or this is $hat ha%%ene!, it &ust sai! that ;00 %eo%le, ;00 %eo%le %erishe! ;00

bringing about %eace An! that $hen even, $hen $e even re"er to those ;00 %eo%le that %erishe!, $e $ere

not actually consi!ering the slaying o" ;00 %eo%le But rather, $e $ere consi!ering the root an! all o" the

branches o" =atan, $hich ulti#ately beca#e #ani"este! as ten, but again ten, even ten re%resents not these

ten sons, but rather the ten !i#ensions +no$n as the /en ="irot that govern this $orl! in that 66

An! that i" $e have control, $hen the +ing says to sther, as+ $hat you $ant or $ith this "or# o" control

you have everything An! this has been the #antle that the Kabbalists have %asse!, inclu!ing, inclu!ingRabbi =hi#on an! his very !ear "rien! Rabbi >ehoshua, $ho both reali8e! that $ithout the (ohar there

$as no ho%e "or hu#anity An! !es%ite the "act that their en!eavor at that ti#e !is#ally "aile! /he

%o$ers o" corru%tion, the %o$er o" so?calle! lea!ers, li+e at the ti#e o" sther, there are al$ays those "e$

$ho are bent on en&oying the %ain an! su""ering that they observe aroun! the $orl!

=o $hat $e are !oing this evening is connecting $ith the Light"orce that "or the "irst ti#e since !estructiono" the /e#%le, this $as be"ore the !estruction o" the =econ! /e#%le, "or the "irst ti#e, a truly !yna#ic

!o#inion over chaos too+ %lace Because this night is the night that $e can ta% into that +in! o" energy, to

have !o#inion, to create the #iracles, to have such governance over the "iel! o" chaos an! to %lay $ith

chaos as a toy, #ol!ing it li+e chil!ren !o, having it %er"or# accor!ing to our $ishes, having it !e#onstrate

the illusion o" itsel", the illusion that #ight, %hysical #ight, is $hat is su%re#e in this 1 reality

An! &ust as $e have $itnesse! over 2,000 years ago, this sho$, the sho$ an! !e#onstration that the $orl!

o" chaos is in!ee! not a reality as $e have co#e to acce%t it, but rather, $ith the connections as $e $ill!is%lay tonight, an! $ith a constant a$areness that only through the Light"orce o" @o! can $e re#ove the
