From the holiday of Purim and the fact that it will continue even after Moshiach comes, we learn the limitless value of Simcha-joy. May the Simcha of this Purim and each day leading up to it break the final boundaries of this exile and entirely transform the situation in Eretz Yisroel to one that will allow us all to fully celebrate Purim all together, especially with all our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel, who will forever be free from war and bondage and will be rid of all ‘Hamans’ once and for all!
The Talmud states: "All festivals will eventually cease, but the days of Purim will never cease." Our sages have also said that of all the writings of the Prophets, only the Scroll of Esther will endure.
What is so unique and special about Purim and everything connected to it that will last forever?
The solemn day of Yom Kippur is referred to in our holy books as Yom Kippurim, which could be read to mean: “a day that is like Purim”. Our sages have explained that what we accomplish on Yom Kippur through fasting and prayer is only akin to, something which can be compared to but not even fully approach that which we can accomplish through feasting and rejoicing on Purim! What a ‘sobering’ thought this is! For to attain holiness through feasting and rejoicing, to transform the physical into spiritual is much more of an accomplishment than the holiness attained through afflicting oneself by fasting.
The days of the month of Adar are days of great rejoicing. We are taught that joy and happiness can break all boundaries. What we can accomplish through happiness and rejoicing far surpasses that which can be accomplished in any other manner.
