– PRAYER OF GRATITUDE ON NEW MOON

ACT OF GRATITUDE: SHORT READING FROM SHAMATI

(It is as we have said that the meaning is that the matter of
disclosing Hochma is with the intention that the people will do
as seemeth good to thee, meaning that there would be room for
choice. And this is called “the people also, to do with them as
it seemeth good to thee.” However, if there is no disclosure of
Hochma, there is no room for choice, but the Hassadim that they
take, it seems that it is because they have no choice.)
It means that all this came about because the king gave the
order that now would be the time of disclosing Hochma. The
intention was that the left would serve the right. By that it would
become apparent that the right is more important than the left,
and this is why they choose Hassadim.
This is the meaning of Megillat Esther. There seems to be a
contradiction in terms here, since Megilla (Scroll) means that it
is Galui (revealed) to all, while Esther means that there is Hastara
(Concealment). However, we should interpret that the whole
disclosure is in order to give room to choose concealment.
