Modern anti-Semitism, and especially this year&apos;s miraculous bombing of Iran&apos;s Supreme Leader &amp; almost all of his military heads has many parallels in G-d&apos;s miraculous salvation in the Megilla, but especially in the Midrashim on Esther. Iran and President Trump can help us understand Haman &amp; Achashverosh, as well as the difference between Christians and Moslems today!

<description>&lt;body  bgcolor=&apos;FFFFCC&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.yeshiva.org.il/midrash/Emidrash.aspx?orderby=158&apos; target=&apos;_new&apos;&gt;R Avraham Levi Melamed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Summery: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Something interesting about the Jewish month of Adar: In some years there is one Adar, while in leap years, there are two consecutive Adars. This raises the question: In which Adar is Purim celebrated in leap years? The answer is: in the Adar that immediately precedes the month of Nissan, and not the earlier Adar. This is in order that Purim can be commemorated as close to Pesah as possible. 

The reason this is so important has to do with the inherent link between the Redemption of Purim and that of Pesah.&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://www.yeshiva.org.il/midrash/shiur.asp?id=51480&apos; target=&apos;_new&apos;&gt;Click to read shiur&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/body&gt;</description><category domain='https://www.yeshiva.org.il/midrash/emidrash.aspx?cat=256'>Purim & The Month of Adar > The Month of Adar</category>

Scholars of the Bible and Rabbinic writings know that the Scroll of Esther took place at roughly the same time as the beginning of the Book of Ezra...During that period, only a small minority of the Jewish People moved back to the Land: just over 43,000 people. The others did not heed the prophetic call, and preferred to remain with the fleshpots and other enjoyments of the exile...



But this raises a well-known question: Why did Mordechai HaYehudi, the great righteous man, remain in Shushan, when he had a chance to return to our Holy Land and rebuild Jerusalem and the Holy Temple? Actually, we read in the Book of Ezra (2,2), that Mordechai was one of the leaders of those who did return to the Land of Israel – which means that he later returned to Shushan!
