KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה : 🍋

– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON FIRST QUARTER MOON

Now we can understand why it is written, “Mordecai knew,”
meaning that it is specifically Mordecai who knew. But it is
written, “but the city of Shushan was perplexed,” meaning
everybody knew.
We should interpret that the city of Shushan was perplexed
and did not know who was right, but Mordecai knew that if there
would be Haman’s dominion, that would be the annihilation
of the people of Israel. In other words, he would obliterate the
whole of Israel from the world, meaning the people of Israel’s
way of Judaism, whose basis of the work is faith above reason,
called “covered Mercy,” to go with the Creator with eyes shut,
and to always say about oneself, “they have eyes and see not,”
since Haman’s whole grip is on the left line, called knowing,
which is the opposite of faith.
