The Challenge of Purim Drinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This Purim<\/a>, I shared a rather unpopular idea at my Purim seudah<\/em> (party). I referred to the well-known and oft-quoted words of the Shulchan Aruch<\/a> (Code of Jewish law) that a person is obligated to imbibe on Purim until he doesn\u2019t know the difference between Arur Haman<\/em> (cursed is Haman) and Baruch Mordechai<\/em> (blessed is Mordechai). People use this as a pass to get wasted, which is a very appropriate term for what happens to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d heard from several sources that in this case, the word \u201cuntil\u201d is precise, meaning \u201cup until that point, but not crossing the line.\u201d In Hebrew, the phrase is, \u201cad, v\u2019lo ad b\u2019chlal<\/em>.\u201d Especially since the Gemara shares stories of terrible things when they got so drunk they didn\u2019t know what they were doing, this explanation of stopping before you get to the drunkenness of Lot makes a lot of sense. So say a number of commentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Drink at All?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some will tell you I\u2019m just being a party-pooper, but the truth is that if you\u2019re meant to praise Hashem, why would it be okay to get yourself into a state where you aren\u2019t able to do so? If you\u2019re barfing and passed out and singing the praises of alcohol, I think you\u2019ve wasted an opportunity. So why the call to drink if you\u2019re not supposed to get drunk? Therein lies to beauty and power of this concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard of \u201cbreaking the seal\u201d? It refers to several things, but one example is if you\u2019re watching your weight, you won\u2019t even have a single cookie or potato chip, because once you start, it\u2019s hard to stop. If you keep the \u201cseal\u201d intact, meaning you don\u2019t open your mouth, it\u2019s easier to avoid overeating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Higher Level than Yom Kippur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yom Kippur<\/a> is compared to Purim, but Purim is considered to be a higher level. One aspect in which this is true is that on Yom Kippur you don\u2019t eat or drink at all, so you remain pure and holy. On Purim, though, we are asked to begin drinking, and then stop at the right time! It\u2019s much harder, but that\u2019s also why it works better. It\u2019s like doing a sit-up with a fifty-pound weight in your arms, or doing a push-up with one hand. Because it\u2019s harder, the resulting growth is greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyday Resistance Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And this resistance can be practiced all the time. I\u2019m not recommending starting a bad habit and then stopping, but when you are in shul<\/a> and someone comes in late, or if you\u2019re at a wedding and someone drops a plate, you can avert your eyes so as not to see who it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would you want to do that? First of all, to avoid embarrassing them, but second of all, to grow in your self-control. Nobody will blame you for satisfying your curiosity, so you don\u2019t have to be embarrassed to look. That makes it an even better chance to exercise control over your desires and choose not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small Victories Over the Yetzer Hara<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We recently stayed in someone\u2019s home for Shabbos (Shabbat)<\/a>. The guest area had a refrigerator\/freezer and stove, as they use it for a Pesach (Passover)<\/a> kitchen. I was happy about this, and put some water in the fridge on Friday, Erev Shabbos. The next afternoon, as I was waiting for my wife to head to the Sheva Brachos(t) we were attending, I wondered what was in the freezer. I was about to open it to see, but then I stopped myself. I hadn\u2019t put anything in there to take out. I had no reason to open that door, except to satisfy my curiosity. It had nothing to do with me, so why would I look?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the decision NOT to open the door as a way to beat back my yetzer hara<\/em> (evil inclination)<\/a> who is constantly urging us to look at things we ought not to. By refusing to look at something just because, or to feast my eyes on what I am looking at, I was using resistance training to grow stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Reward of Self-Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we bite our tongues<\/a> and don\u2019t make the rude comment we want to, even if it\u2019s really funny and clever, we\u2019re shooting heavenward like being fired from a slingshot. When we don\u2019t take a second look at something that catches our eye, or we choose not to eat the questionable food item, we are being superhuman, and I\u2019ll tell you, it feels pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a flight from London, my kosher meal<\/a> consisted of an amazing-looking ribeye steak (NO, I was not in economy.) However, when they brought it to me, it was no longer double-wrapped (a kosher requirement for meat that is not supervised by a God-fearing Jew). They had opened it in the kitchen because the dripping juices were messy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a few long moments arguing with myself that they didn\u2019t have such steak on the non-kosher menu, and rationalizing that it was partially covered with the wrapping, and I could see in the trash the outer seal. But then I told myself that not eating it as it was likely forbidden would be better for me than giving in. When I made that decision, I felt like a superman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any of us can do it. It takes hard work and persistence, but the payoff is totally worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
