This Shabbos (Tetzaveh) is Shabbos Zachor, when we remember what Amalek did to the Jewish people when they left Mitzrayim and our responsibility to destroy Amalek. While we cannot physically destroy Amalek until the time of Moshiach, we can still fight the klipa of Amalek.
The purpose of the test is actually that it should be confronted and overcome. By doing so, the concealment is pushed away and nullified and the truth is revealed.
L’chaim! May we all join forces to combat Amalek, beginning with the one contained within each of us, and through that, obliterate the evil in the world, and may this Purim be overshadowed by the greater Geula with the coming of Moshiach Tzidkeinu Teikef U’miyad Mamash!
