[Avodah] Purim Torah

[Moshe Yehuda Gluck]

Yes, it's unseasonal, but I just saw it. 

 

R' Baruch of Mezibizh ws asked, "We know that Achashveirosh ruled over 127
countries. How many were at land, and how many at sea?" He answered, "It
says, 'Vayasem hamelech mas al ha'aretz v'I'yei ha'yam.' "Mas" is gematria
100, and "v'I'yei" is gematria 27. 100 by land and 27 by sea."
