In this episode we are going to get into the meaning of the Gemara that says that a person is supposed to drink on Purim to the point of not being able to tell the difference between the cursedness of Haman and the blessedness of Mordechai. Why would this be something to strive for on such a holy day? And where are we really meant to get to internally through this process, whether we drink wine on Purim or not? We will get into all of that and so much more in this episode!  

If you want to follow along in the text, it is Nesiovs Shalom booklet on Purim on page nun zayin (57). You can find a pdf of the piece here.
