Purim and the Letter "Mem"
The four special mitzvahs of Purim all start with the letter “mem”: 1) Megillah, 2) Mishloach manot (sending food gifts to friends), 3) Matanot la’evyonim (charity to the poor), and 4) Mishteh (a festive meal). What is the deeper significance of this connection?

Amazingly beautiful - brought me to tears. This week I prayed for Purim to be personal for me this year - deeply meaningful. Prayer answered through the wonderful discovery of my experiences and analysis of them through the lens of this revelatory teaching. Hokhmah & Binah kiss. Reply

Can you please explain why I am seeing this word for Purim in Hebrew? מֻּרִים..... and not just spelled with a Pey? Why is the Mem here at the beginning? Thank you so much for your videos and teaching.
