Even In Difficult Times A Yid Never Gives Up Since He Always Has Hashem

Chazal say that Mordechai burst out crying in Shushan because Yaakov Avinu caused Eisav to burst out crying (like it says: דֹאְמ דַﬠ הָרָמוּ הָלֹדְגּ הָקָﬠְצ קַﬠְצִיַּו דל זכ תודלות) when he stole the Brachos. Notice how by Eisav it says: דַﬠ דֹאְמ (he cried) “exceedingly”, and not by Mordechai. Eisav gives up completely, but a Yid realizes that he always has Hashem, and even in difficult times his pain is always less. When Avraham was Maspid Sara, it says: הָּת ֹכּ ְבִלְו “he cried for her” with a small: ף ַכּ Kaf. Similarly, when Rivka had aggravation, it says: תודלות תֵח תוֹנְבּ יֵנְפִּמ יַיַּחְב יִתְּצ ַק כז מו “I am distressed” with a small: קוּף Kuf.

Zeresh told Haman: ויָנָפְל לוֹפִּתּ לוֹפָנ יִכּ וֹל לַכוּת אֹל ויָנָפְל לֹפְּנִל ָתוֹלִּחַה רֶשֲׁא יַכֳדְּרָמ םיִדוּהְיַּה עַרֶזִּמ םִא אסתר ו יג “Since Mordechai is beginning to get the upper hand, “soon he’ll finish you off completely”. Look how his best friends and his brilliant wife speak to him! And look at the total Yi'ush! This is just like Eisav! הָרֹכְבַּה תֶא וָשֵׂﬠ זֶבִיַּוכה לד Eisav (gave up and) despised the Bechora.
