Class Summary:
This class was presented on Tuesday, 4 Adar, 5785, March 4, 2025, Parshas Tetzaveh, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
The lecture explores the first chapter of the Book of Esther. Why did Vashti trigger such anger in the Persian King? Why does the order of her title keep changing, as well as the musical notes relating to her? We also learn to observe the genius of Queen Esther, who brilliantly played Haman's ego against Achashverosh's paranoia.
The lesson we learn about the courage of Esther and the power to look inward at our deepest triggers and core-wounds, and how when darkness is exposed it loses its power.

Interestingly, אחשוורוש is only referred to as המלך אחשוורוש, which, as was mentioned in the shiur, is grammatically incorrect.
Any thoughts as to why this is?
I was thinking, along the same lines as the shiur, that his main focus or cover-up was the fact that he was king and therefore so to speak always overshaddowed and masked himself as king, while giving his name less importance. Thus overtly expressing his imposter syndrome.
Looking forward to any responses.
