מִסִּפּוּרֵי דְּבָרִים שֶׁל הַנָּשִׁים יְכוֹלִים לֵידַע מַעֲמַד הַשְּׁכִינָה, אֵיךְ הִיא אוֹחֶזֶת כָּעֵת. וְזֶה שֶׁכָּתוּב אֵצֶל מָרְדֳּכַי (אסתר ב׳:י״א), שֶׁהָיָה מִתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי חֲצַר בֵּית הַנָּשִׁים לָדַעַת אֶת שְׁלוֹם אֶסְתֵּר, וְאֶסְתֵּר הִיא הַשְּׁכִינָה. כִּי מָרְדֳּכַי הָיָה מַשִּׂיג זֹאת, לֵידַע שְׁלוֹם הַשְּׁכִינָה, מֵחֲצַר בֵּית הַנָּשִׁים – עַל־יְדֵי סִפּוּרֵי דִּבְרֵיהֶם:

From women’s conversations it is possible to know the status of the *Shekhinah* (Divine Presence)—i.e., how She is faring at that time. This is what is written about Mordekhai (Esther 2:11), “He would daily walk about in front of the harem courtyard to find out how Esther was faring.” Esther is the *Shekhinah*. Mordekhai would comprehend this—to know how the *Shekhinah* was faring—from the “courtyard of the harem,” i.e., through their conversations.
