And it came to pass in the days of Netanyahu, he was the king from Augustus until the 'putsch', and Sarah and one hundred and twenty men of state: In those days on the Sabbath, King Netanyahu sat on his throne, which was in the kitchen of the palace: He made a feast for all his ministers and servants, in the matter of the Persian army and the uniforms of the senators and ministers of the states before him: In showing him the glory of his palace and the precious splendor of his palace, for many days, eighty and a little days: And at the end of these days, the king made a feast for all the people who were in the ruin of the palace, from the greatest to the least, in the courtyard of the garden of the king's palace:
After these things, King Nehananiah promoted Jair son of Tomi, the legendary one, and raised him and set his throne above all the princes who were with him. And all the king's servants who were in the king's gate bowed down and paid homage to Jair, for so the king had commanded him, and Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage. And Jair saw that Mordecai did not bow down or pay homage to him, and Jair was filled with wrath.
And he despised in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone, because they had told him about Mordecai's people. And Yahir sought to destroy all the Haredim who were in all the kingdom of Nehananiah with Mordecai. And Yahir said to King Nehananiah, "There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their religions are different from each people, and they do not practice the king's religion, and it is not right for the king to let them go. If it pleases the king, it will be written to destroy them, and I will weigh ten thousand talents of silver by the hand of the treasurers to bring them into the king's treasuries."

And the king took off his ring from his hand and gave it to Yahir ben Tomi, the legendary slanderer of the Haredim. And the king said to Yahir, The money is given to you, and the people, to do with it as you see fit. And the king's scribes were called, and he wrote everything that Yahir commanded, and letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces to slander, to gather, and to gather all the Haredim from young to old, children and women, in one day, and to plunder them to scorn. The couriers went out hastily at the king's command, and the tax was given in the treasury, and the king and Yahir sat down to drink, and the city of Jerusalem was in confusion.
That night the king's sleep wandered, and he commanded to bring the records of the chronicles of Israel today, and they were read before the king. And it was found written that Mordecai had told about Shai and Zippi, two of the king's eunuchs, the keepers of the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on King Nathanael:
And the king said, What shall be done to Mordecai for this? And the king's servants said, There shall be nothing done to him. And the king said, Who is in the court? And Esau came into the outer court of the king's house to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. And Esau came in, and the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor? And Esau said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do more honour than I?
And Jairus said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor, let them bring the royal robes which the king has worn, and the chariot in which the king has ridden, and on whose head the royal crown has been placed. And they shall bring him through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'" Then the king said to Jairus, "Hurry, take the robes and the chariot, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Do not let anything of all that you have spoken fail."
And Yahir was driven to his house mourning and with his head covered. And Yahir told his wife and all his lovers who were pleasing him all that had happened. And his counselors said to him, "If Mordecai, who has been trying to fall before him, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do it, for if he falls, you will fall before him."

The one who connects or connects things with reality does so solely on his own opinion and responsibility, and it is said of him and those like him, "Woe to us from the day of judgment, woe to us from the day of rebuke.".
And it is my will that the voice of weeping may be heard, that the words may be for the upliftment of the souls of all those who perished, for whom there is no one to say Kaddish after them.
Happy Purim.
