There is a place, called "Gate Number Fiftie," so high that all things there are equally insignificant. There is no good, no evil, nothing can be added or subtracted, the righteous are dust and the wicked are dust, nothing is important, everything is dust.

Drunk with the joy of Purim, the Jew travels higher and higher until he reaches that place. And from there he proclaims that the oppressed have been saved; the wicked defeated; and light and joy, happiness and peace rule the universe.

""Regarding this place," he declares, "I'm not impressed. It was also created for us to have joy down below!".

His secret exposed, the fiftieth portal itself is redeemed.
