Editing Purim (section)

== Purim in the Future Era ==
Chazal said, and it was also ruled as halacha by the Rambam, that even though all holidays will be nullified in the days of Moshiach, the holiday of Purim will not be nullified. Similarly, even though all books of the Prophets and Writings will be nullified then, Megillat Esther will remain eternal (as well as the halachot in the Oral Torah).

The meaning of this nullification has been extensively discussed in the works of the great sages of Israel. In Chassidic teachings, it is explained that this does not mean complete nullification, G-d forbid - rather, compared to the great joy and the wondrous divine light that will exist in the future era, the joy of the holidays will not have significance, as the revelation of divine light in them is relatively limited compared to what will be revealed then. This is comparable to what Chazal said: "What use is a candle in broad daylight?" However, the holiday of Purim will not be nullified even then, since the joy and divine revelation in it is unlimited, and therefore it will still be felt in the future.

The reason for this is because the events of Purim occurred specifically during the time of exile when divine light does not shine openly, and nevertheless the Jewish people stood strong with mesirut nefesh (self-sacrifice). Therefore, the holiday that resulted from this is more elevated than other holidays, and the divine light that shines in it is unlimited.
