Purim, Pesach, 720



 

Bnei Yissaschar on Amalek, Purim, and Erev Pesach

A teaching attributed to Rav Tzvi Elimelech Spira of Dinov


“… in the future, speedily in our days, the war with Amalek and his destruction will take place on the ערב חג הפסח = ערב פסח (eve of Passover). Therefore, its beginning is on יום הפורים = Purim, and its completion is already by ערב פסח.

And likewise, the duration is תש״ך שעות = 720 hours, corresponding to three times ‘Amalek’, in order to nullify the full kelipah (impurity) completely, in מחשבה דיבור ומעשה = thought, speech, and action.”

This passage is cited from the sefer Bnei Yissaschar.
