What's Up Mon?

The Gemara in Chullin [139] asks where Haman is alluded to in the Torah. There is an alternative text of the Gemara that answers from the pasuk "And [Hashem] gave you "the mon" ["haman"] to eat" [devarim 8].

In light of this Gemara we can see a deeper meaning in the pasuk in Yehoshua [ch. 5] that relates that the mon stopped on the 16th of Nissan. Indeed, Haman met his ignominious end on the 16 of Nissan. "The Mon" was stopped. [Rav Nossson Geshtetner Shlita].


כן יאבדו כל איוביך השם

In Yeshivat HaKotel of the 1990's there was a teacher who developed this idea in depth. Baruch shekivanta.
