    The nais of purim was eclipsed by natural occurences

    And only the Megilla itself connects the dots. 

    Given that Iran was developing nuclear weapons, and had a goal to wipe out Israel, who can say that it wasn't another seemingly series of  natural occurrences, the unlikely real estate mogul becoming president, and then backing out of the Iran deal, etc that saved Israel when some writer will write the whole story and connect the dots.  Ditto for Pearl Harbor and so many other series of natural events that cover the nisim?

    Hashem loves the yidden in golus like the groom loves

    His kalla even if she's in a tannery and smells bad.

    But...the groom loves the Kalla despite the smell. He didn't send her to the tannery. 

    Hashem sent, or allowed, us to go into golus.

    Tannery- stench and Avoida

    How can we connect the mashal in the zohar with the description of Avoidas hasehm with "eebud oirois" , vavadtem es havaya eloikeichem to make havaya eloikeichem

    The outcome of Purim was positive, a success. If the outcome is not positive, how is HaShem's presence to be interpreted?

    Diffrence between a person who suffers and a person who sins...how to interpret HaShem's involvement?
