Class #6 - Ch. 3, 1 - 14: THE YETZER HORA TRIES EVEN HARDER TO GET THE PERSON TO SIN VIA PERSEUSIVE ARGUMENTS AGAINST HASHEM'S HASHGACHA

Megilas Esther & the Haggadah based on the Mechir Yayin Commentary

THE GREATER A PERSON IS, THE GREATER IS HIS YETZER HORA: ZERESH & HAMAN ARE THE ASPECTS OF THE YETZER HORA THAT EVERYONE BOWS DOEN TO, EXCEPT FOR MORDECHAI WHO HAS A NOBLE SEICHEL, WHO MOCKS IT. THE YETZER HORA DOES NOT TOLERATE THE SEICHEL’S REFUSAL TO SUBMIT, AND TRIES TO CAUSE THE MASSES TO SIN, BY SAYING THAT THE TZADDIK SUFFERS FROM NISAN UNTIL ADAR. HE ALSO CLAIMS THAT THE WORLD CONDUCTS ITSELF ONLY BASED ON THE 12 MAZALOS: IN ADDITION, THE JEWS BEING SEPARATED SHOWS, ACCORDING TO HIS WORDS, THE ABSENCE OF HASHGACHA. THE YETZER HORA TRIES TO PERSUADE THE SEICHEL TO SUBMIT TO ITS LUSTS, AND ESPECIALLY THE LUST FOR MONEY. THE SEICHEL AGREES EVEN THOUGH IT GETS NO PROFIT FROM THIS: THE YETZER HORA SPREADS HERESY TO THE MASSES: THE SENSES RUN TO DESTROY & TO STEAL: THE SIN TURNS INTO LAW
