Haman Had It ALL—But ONE thing made it “Worth Nothing”

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Rosh Chodesh Adar), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the deeper meaning of Purim through Haman’s character and the Talmudic hint connecting him to the Tree of Knowledge in Genesis (“Hamin ha’etz” = Haman’s letters). Haman had everything—wealth, power, the king’s ring, family, universal bowing—yet one Jew (Mordechai) refusing to bow made it all “worth nothing” to him. This mirrors Adam and Eve: they had everything in Eden except one tree—yet focused only on what they lacked, leading to disaster. The flaw of humanity is looking outside (coveting what others have) instead of inside (recognizing Hashem’s perfect gifts). Jealousy (Lo Tachmod)—the last of the Ten Commandments—directly opposes the first (“Anochi Hashem Elokecha”): coveting denies Hashem’s plan for you. Key to Adar joy (Mishenichnas Adar marbim b’simcha): Look inside—Alef-Dar (“the Master resides within you”). Hashem gives exactly what you need; when you recognize this, joy increases. Stop comparing; maximize your unique gifts. The month of Adar is about internal revelation of Hashem’s goodness—complaining fades when we see He’s in control and provides perfectly. The rabbi urges gratitude for life’s blessings (health, family, livelihood) and practical joy: stop coveting, embrace your portion, and live with awe of Hashem’s constant gifts._____________ This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky Botvin Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.
