And who gave Haman his advice? וֹתְּשִׁא שֶׁרֶזְו ויָמָכֲח His wise men and his wife Zeresh. All the smarties; and Zeresh is mentioned separately because she was known for her special brilliance! R' Yisroel Salanter Zatzal says that where Sechel stops Bitachon begins. People who work only with inborn Sechel are in for big trouble. Chazal say that Hashem gave the Yidden so much Chochma, Bina, De'ah and Sechel in order to use for Bitachon; this is the TRUE Sechel of: לוֹכָי לֹכַּה Hashem can do anything!
I heard an inspiring Shabbos Shuva Drasha from R' Gershon Liebman Zatzal, and he talked about Temimus. Be a Tamim without any fear “even from the Holocaust!” And he lived this! He would build Yeshivos in the ghetto under the Nazis, and his Simcha level was 1000% during the Holocaust. His Yahrzeit is 'א רדא ט"כ. ,וּניֵלָﬠ ןֵגָי וֹתוּכְז ןֵמָא His merit should protect over us, Amen.
When Purim came, Novardokers were more concerned about becoming a Mordechai! אֹלְו עַרְכִי אֹל יַכֳדְּרָמוּהֶוֲחַתְּשִׁי ג ב “Mordechai would not bend or bow down” was their motto. Notice how Mordechai is M'vazeh himself, screaming in the streets! (For sure, a lot of the Novardok “Shita” of “Pratim” comes from Mordechai, who was a major source of their Shita.)
The Meforshim say that Mordechai and Esther were: ןֵקַתְמ repaired the sin of their ancestor Shaul HaMelech. Michal bas Shaul had complained to Dovid for being M'vazeh himself while dancing for Kavod Shamayim, and Dovid told her that the reason why her father had lost his Malchus to him was because he wasn’t willing to be M'vazeh himself for Kavod Shamayim. So now we have Mordechai being: ןֵקַתְמ repairing the sin of his Zeide by embarrassing himself B'rabim (in public) in order to save the nation of Hashem.
A true Baal Bitachon laughs at Tevah, and he comes out ahead even without Hishtadlus. He is a M'chutzaf against Hishtadlus. Binyamin is the Shevet who never bowed down to Eisav HaRasha (and “Eisav” is similar to: ַﬠ ִשׂ ָיה doing, i.e., “You have to do something to succeed!”)
So, Mordechai is a perfect combination of Ish Yehudi and Ish Yemini. He has the combination of the Chutzpa of Dovid and the Chutzpa of Shevet Binyamin. To fight Amalek, we need all the power we can get! And look how Mordechai and Esther went against their roots with such extreme brazenness and disregard for public opinion, and no worry about Bizyonos.
These are the true Baalei Bitachon. ˂ָבּ םיִסוֹחַה לָכּ חַצֶנָל וּמְלָכִּי אֹלְו .וּשֹׁבֵי אֹל ˃יֶוֹק לָכֶּשׁ ַﬠיִדוֹהְל בקעי תנשוש. The Baal Bitachon is a: דֵרוֹמ rebel and an: זַﬠםיִנָפּ brazen against Tevah. He can be almost reckless without fear or worry. This is the lesson of Purim. R' Yerucham Levovitz Zatzal says that there is a tremendous amount of Tikkun needed to undo the Middos Ra’os (bad Middos) of your previous generations, and it needs unending Tefila.
