Rosh Chodesh Adar 1: The Mitzvos of Purim - Rabbi Chaim Marcus

that the only difference between the two others other alpha and other days is when we observe the mithsis of purim that ultimately the masukana sagamara is that we observe the mistakes of purim and adarsheny in about six weeks from now but the other allah is still the month of adar and what does that mean manny matharsham explained that that when it comes in we have to increase our joy the question was obvious i get either cheney or any other in which we're observing that the joy starts increasing we're getting so excited we're getting so psyched for the antifa for our costumes but purim is still six months six six weeks away it's still freezing there's no there's no feel of the other in is even further away i know some might be happy but that's still time to prepare for pesach and clean for pesach you still got an extra month an extra four weeks for that so how do we generate the simha in another region tells us that what's really the essence of the it's encapsulated in the name of the month alif dalid reish is really split the aleph the alice the prime mover the general the chief of the world which is of course the eligibility our holy creator what does dar mean adirah that in the month of adar we recognize that dwells in this world you know what's so interesting that others the last month of the year not the count of the year from tishrei when the new year started in terms of the count of years tough shin paydays but in terms of the year counted by months nissan is the first month and that means either to last month nissan is the first yamtif it's the great light that's revealed on pesach in the month of nisan the name of the month means miracles when god's presence is so obvious but that light gets gets smaller and smaller it gets more and more hidden until we come to the winter months we we have the light of the menorah that's the reflection of course of the halogen organisms but even after we come out of hanukkah the light is where is it and we come to our the last month of the year a month in which the jewish people faced the greatest existential threat in all of our history all the jews in the world lived under the the mouths of alfa sverosh every jew in the world had a death sentence on her head on his head the death sentence that haman to sign and to seal against all of us and it was in this month that everything looked lost when claudius was in the galas after the first destruction of the first days maybe some of them thought the seven years were up it was dark in the month of our when everything looked for fallen that claudius will recognize that [Music] no matter where we are no matter what the circumstances are that's what real slim is [Music] the great points out that what is the definition of when two seemingly disparate separate entities come together to reveal their essential oneness this is of course incredible when it comes to the two souls come together to reveal that they're really one so too it's in the month of our the great joy of adar is when we recognize that us are really one and even when we don't see hashem clearly we things aren't so obvious to us we feel it we sense it in everything that goes on in our life and everything that goes on day to day and this is why it said he can tell us during the month of aadhaar you know what is to connect to the simcha it's the abode of saying a hundred brothers a day because when a jew says a hundred buckles a day what do you remember you remember that i can open my eyes i can see because of the register i recognize that i can hear because of the abuser i can stand up straight because they can move my looms all because of the hairstyle and thus when we say the brachus we recognize the great symphony of being one with hashem we don't need the biggest nissans we don't need all those things even in the very simple day-to-day we recognize that we could be swelled by that we're all connected we're all one and there's no greatest influence and that's we don't need purim per se it's just the name of the month itself that teaches us what we can accomplish where our relationship can reach and how we have to be visible in this very very exhausted
