– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON FULL MOON

ACT OF CONCESSION: SHORT READING FROM SHAMATI

It follows that the second letters did not revoke the first.
Rather, they presented an explanation and interpretation to the
first copy of the writing, that the matter of the publication to
all the peoples, the matter of the disclosure of the Hochma that
now shines, is for the Jews. In other words, it is so that the Jews
would be able to choose Hassadim of their own free will, and not
because there is no other path to choose.
This is why it is written in the second letters, “and that the
Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on
their enemies.” It means that the dominion that Hochma now
has is in order to show that they prefer Hassadim to Hochma,
and this is called “to avenge themselves on their enemies.” This
is because their enemies want Hochma specifically, whereas the
Jews reject the Hochma.
Now we can understand what we have asked about the
question of the king, “Who is he, and where is he, that durst
presume in his heart to do so?” And why did He ask? After all,
the king himself had told Haman, “The silver is given to thee,
the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.”
