The boys in Japan have been imprisoned for 3 years now. We are planning a
world-wide Tehillim kinus for women at the beginning of April, which will
be a critical point for the boys in their trial. Rabbi Nazri who is involved
with the boys, has asked us to make our Tehillim kinusim on Sunday evening
April 3rd-which is the day before rosh chodesh Nissan. We would like to get
as many cities as possible to join in. Please let us know if you would be
willing to help organize a kinus in your community.

Our shiur last night was given by Rabbi Tuvia Vinisksy, and it was about
understanding the greatness of Esther HaMalka. Esther HaMallka saved Klal
Yisroel as only a women can and she used 'bina'-intuition; an intuitive
and thorough understanding of life, something Rabbi Vinisksy explained that
is more common in women than in men. We tend to think of Haman and
Achervious as buffoons, but they were very smart people-they were running a
huge empire. But all of that smartness, and logic was outdone by the simple
'bina' from a simple girl from Shushan.
All women possess this bina and an example of how we have used it in the
past is in the Midbar with the Sin of the Egel, Logically, the Egel made
sense to the men, but the women with their 'bina' understood that it was
wrong to do. So too with Esther,and we see this manifested many times in
the megila :
- there were 3 courtyards , one leading into the other. The first courtyard
was for everyone, and the third was for the King. No one was allowed to
enter the 2nd courtyard, unless the King summoned you. if you went into the
2nd courtyard without being summoned by the king,you could be killed When
Mordechai told Esther to go to the King, Esther HaMalka took 1 step, into
the 2nd courtyard and stopped. She did not continue and walk into the 3rd
courtyard-just 1 foot in center courtyard and stood there. She knew, that
when the King saw her standing there, standing like a Queen with that
confidence and her beauty - he would not kill her. And she was right, he
extended his scepter and allowed her to come in. Somehow she knew it was the
alright, because of her bina.
Esther Hamlaka is considered one of the 7 main prophetesses that
we have. Interestingly enough, she only received one prophecy in her life,
but it was so important that she is considered one of our 7 prophetesses.
She received the prophecy when she entered Achashverosh's chamber , and
Hashem let her know that she was doing the right thing. The question is,
what did she do to deserve prophecy? It was her 'bitochon' not only in
Hashem but in the chachomim-she did not flinch when Mordechai told her that
she must go to the King even if meant losing her life. And when she
received this prophecy and she knew Hashem was with her, her heart opened up
to encapsulate the heart of all the Yidden and she was deserving of
receiving 'malcus'-royalty.
At the end of the shiur, Rabbi Vinisksy, explained to us, that most
of us feel that at the end of the story, everyone lives happily ever after.
But he said, it is important to note, that Esther HaMalka was married to the
'Hitler' " of her generation and she bore this Hitler a son, Darovashe. It
is a lesson to be learned from Esther HaMalka, that she understood that this
is what Hashem wanted from her and she did it unquestionably.
