We have entered the first of a double Adar this year. Things seem to speed up exponentially during these 60 days. I will hopefully soon share with you the secret of the "Ibur" or impregnation - the concept of adding an extra Adar every 3 years. I just finished a great interview with Harry Moskoff on the Ark of the Covenant, its purpose, its location, the lost Temple vessels, and much more. I hope to have it up in the next few days. It comes timely with this week's Parsha T'rumah.
In the meantime see the important Adar dates below. Also a reminder of the key concepts of Adar:
1) (וְנַהֲפוֹךְ הוּא) Overturning. Esther 9:1 speaks of the enemies of Israel that wanted to annihilate them, but the matter was overturned into the Jews' favor. This is the month where condemning factors can be turned in your favor.
2) (משנכנס אדר מרבין בשמחה) Entering Adar we have to increase our joy. Even if Adar inherently has the potential of great victory, you still have to do your part. You need to actively increase your joy. That creates the environment for victorious miracles allowing circumstances to turn in your favor.
3) Adar is therefore the best month to negotiate and get a better deal. This is the month in which you want to advocate your cause, have favor in a court case, or whatever tight situation you find yourself in.
Wishing all a Chodesh Adar Tov!
