A woman came to me with her husband and she said that she had been a beauty queen in the past. She expected it to amaze me. But I only felt sorry for her. A beauty queen? King Shlomo (Solomon), the wisest of men, said that “charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
How many hours she wasted every day to look beautiful. If the Creator has given you beauty, what do you boast about? With what the Creator has given you?
What is the beauty of a woman? Her good character. A woman who prays with all her heart. What a gift such a woman is to a man! The whole family survives because of her. She prays for her husband, children and home. A man knows that he has a faithful wife. She is his base support.
What do you gain with your charm? Nothing? The one who chose you for your body will choose another beauty tomorrow and deceive you.
It must be explained to the girls so that they would understand and perceive in their hearts that the most important thing is the fear of God. Virtue is the most important. This is true beauty. What do you win with charm? What? You will be placed on a showcase.
If a woman prays with all her heart, it will surely benefit the husband. Good angel is in such man’s home.
Queen Esther brought freedom to the people of Israel (during the Purim).
In the future, all other festivals will disappear, but the drill will remain. Thanks to what did she achieve this? Was it because she was trying to be charming? It was because she prayed with all her heart. She did not eat, but fasted for three days in a row. She prayed without ceasing for 72 hours straight and she saw the salvation and deliverance of the people of Israel from everlasting to everlasting.
