Rebbe Yitzchak Aizik of Kamarna zt’l writes, “We received a kabbalah from our teachers that during the days of Purim, a small neshamah can reach the heichal of a great tzaddik, and no one can stop it. All his tefillos go up to Keser without any disturbance... I received this in a whisper, and I am revealing it like someone who is revealing a secret because of my love for the Jewish nation. I opened a crack; there are great secrets here.”
Rashi writes, "This is to remember the miracle when they called out [to Hashem] during their days of trouble, by day and night."
Haman's tenth son was ויזתא. He saw his nine brothers hanging and didn't run away! For being so foolish, he deserved the name Vayizasa! (Vayizasa is a name people comically use on Purim to describe someone foolish.) This joke reminds us that if there's a problem, and you have an opportunity to escape it, you must be a fool not to utilize it. We are referring to tefillah on Purim. Look around yourself for a moment and think about your neighbors. You won't find a family that isn’t dealing with serious problems. For some, it is health problems, r'l; for a second, it is shidduchim; for a third, it is nachas; and for a fourth, it is parnassah, may Hashem protect us. But there's a solution - davening on Taanis Esther and Purim. Only a Vayizasa doesn’t take advantage of such holy times.
A girl from Williamsburg, New York, suffered from stomach pain for an entire winter. Erev Purim, her parents brought her to a local doctor, and a blood test showed that the girl suffered from celiac (gluten intolerance). The father was relieved because he had feared a worse diagnosis, but the mother was distraught.
