chanich is chosen to leave the room, while the rest of the group decide what problem they have

- One of the messages for us
To learn from "Megilat Esther" is that g-d has his own plan of how the world runs and that he is behind what goes on. What we see may not be what is truly happening and g-d can change everything in an instant. And we, just like Nachum ish Gamzu should look at everything in a positive way and understand that just like in the story of Purim ,when things looked so bad for the Jewish people but in the end turned out on the best side ,g-d runs the world and every bad thing can turn out good.
Through out the whole Peula we played games and we pretended to be other people, that is part of what we call on Purim “vnahafoch hu”, which means “backwards” in remembrance of the miracle that from almost being killed we won.

Who will pray for us? In the neighborhood of Rabbi Zeira there lived some sinful Jews. He reached out to them and befriended them in the hope that they would repent their ways. This did not find favor with some of the other sages. When Rabbi Zeira passed away these sinners were distraught. Until now, they cried, Rabbi Zeira prayed to Heaven in our behalf but who will do so now? They took this so much to heart that they became ba'alei teshuva. בשכונתו של רב זירא היו בריונים הללו. והיה רב זירא מקרבם כדי שיחזרו בתשובה. הקפידו חכמים. כשמת רבי זירא אמרו הבריונים: עד עכשיו היה קטינא חרוך שוקיים מבקש עלינו רחמים. עכשיו מי יבקש עלינו רחמים? הרהרו בליבם ועשו תשובה (מסכת סנהדרין, דף ל"ז עמ' א)
