The custom to wear disguises on Purim and to appear as non-Jews is related to our father Yaakov's wearing of Esav's clothes when he received the blessings that were due him. It is as if we announce that just as Yaakov only had the outer appearance of
Esav, but was inwardly holy and pure, so are all appearances of evil in Israel only external, and inwardly we remain a holy people. |
