R’ Adams,* a Rebbe, was preparing a shiur about kavod versus hachna’a. He wanted his shiur to be tied into the Purim story. He said to himself, “I’ll call the Bitachon Hotline and listen to the yesod section.” That day, the yesod was all about the difference between Mordechai and Haman. Haman was desperate for kavod; he needed everyone to bow down to him, and if one person didn’t, nothing else was worth anything. What happened to him? He ended up on the gallows! Mordechai was someone who didn’t care if people liked him. A lot of people didn’t even like him! Look what happened to him; the yeshua came through Mordechai! The yesod was exactly what R’ Adams needed for his shiur!
