"Something Fishy About 2 Adar's" - The Mystical Secret of the 2 Fish of Adar

this Torah class is brought to you by Torah anytime.com okay good evening everyone we have a very special share this evening we're continuing our sh on which are graciously sponsored by Dr Z Dr Zak's mother R and Ravid benak tonight sh is dedicated by our dear friend R Ai and Shir tuckman in honor of their son yit's engagement to title and there should be tonight sh is dedicated Byer the author of the guidelines his father Alisha mayor Alexander zusa said tonight she was also dedicated by and also by yehud Li okay tonight's share is about two Adar so in honor of two Adar you have two options on the new saer that concealed and revealed you could have the big version the big version you put on your shelf and you take take it out this way when people come to your house it looks like you're well read this one you take with you fits in the pocket it uh fits in shalak Manus no sha no good shalak Manus can be without it you know this thing Shakespeare once said no good shus could be without it and if you really want to look learned and this looks very good on the Shelf thees version now there happens to be an inside but even if you never open open it up it look look how nice it looks on the shelf and people will come to your let's say you have a son-in-law and he sees us on your shelf it will look like you know epis you know something or let's say you invite people to your house you want them to think that you're very learned and then you could take out the inside and give the inside to somebody who actually no you actually you buy it and the purpose is to learn it that the cover is uh you know just a mask okay let us begin uh we know that the 12 months of the year are associated with various maalis and Ma the Maz of ad is fish fish so the first thing we have to ask which fish tuna fish salmon trout sea Chilean sea bass what kind Gila fish what kind of fish are are the ma of AD and come to think of it all the other months of the year the mael is singular you have the as a bucket not delim you have Acra notra you have what yeah it's very hard to have uh one to singular you know that that's a hard thing to pull off yeah to is plural because by definition uh twin has to be singular it has to be uh double rabim but all the other all the other ma why ma is Rim so let's begin with the comments of and he introduces a very important principle that is the 12 months of the year correspond to the 12 what does that mean that means even though all of is one we're we're one entity nevertheless they're 12at each shav has its own personality has its own characteristic has its own nature and therefore there's also an important concept of asan you know what asan is sh nees what's sh nees that there are places and times and people that converge meaning there are places in the world that correspond to times of the year that correspond to people so for example the holy of holies the k corresponds to corresponds to the okay you get the idea that there are certain spheres of existence that uh play out in place in time and in and in people likewise there's certain that correspond to certain times of the year the 12im correspond to the 12 months and just like each shaved had it own unique characteristic each month of the year has its own special characteristic now many years ago not not so many years ago a few years ago we gave a share on which shet corresponds to which month and if you remember there many M there many approaches you have the you have the you have you have and in the humble we printed a grid a chart going through all Theo and which month corresponds to which sh says that he is going to outline the most simple approach which shaved corresponds to the month of Adar and he says he saw on the sa that which is do is because what what was the and just like dog is plural Adar is plural could be plural and just like was broken into two so to could be in other words there's no there's no you know umiss because no other shav has two um is is broken down into two but since Y is broken down to two he is perfectly Suited to the month of Adar um now who is Mas orim just like is and therefore is just like fish is our ver and what is who's which yeh now in his were various dreams that had now back in the day my grandmother of blessed memory would tell me that her father who is the last R of sakov one of his big jobs in Sak as people would come to him and tell tell him their dreams and he would have to interpret the dreams and in my very long and um Rabbi career I can't tell you many people have come to me J maybe over the years three or four something like that I remember back in Queens somebody came with a was a whole MSA with a spider but that's a story for a different occasion but recorded the dreams that he had and in his dream he saw that the the months of the year correspond to the 12 and the month of Adar corresponds to sh y just like Y is man is to is and that is why says all the kings from sh y are have an ascendancy in the month of Adar what Kings come from y yahushua when was yahushua appointed anybody know what date did yahushua become the king yeah the in in so yesu became king in ad that that's because Adar is the month of Y on the other hand was appointed in Nissan R the beginning of rash is so is the month of and Nissan is the month of DAV and yehud will come in and MAV will come in Nissan furthermore we destroy [Applause] because right after is destroyed and then which may highlight the gamar says when do we lay in the mill do we lay in the Milla Al or the says we lay in why so we could say not just the G of to the G of P but there's an idea the of M represented by Pim and mhia Ben DAV by the way clity on that when Mia comes what does it mean what does that mean what does it mean when Mia comes say the rest of the year when we say like know whatever mean it could come anytime so what does it mean so said he asked this to the what does it mean but we say says Nissan it's 50/50 very high chances if you're betting if you want a bet on a month pick Nissan okay for the better guide Mia isan now the K in this week's para because I know many people they only come if the Shir is on the para the only thing is this week is not but it's close enough right the K says in that the ma of is Doug Doug now I like the word Doug anybody know why it's my initials it's my initials right but actually D Fisher man Danel y yeah but Doug backward is good good what does good mean in lash Kesh good luck good yeah good is ma so ad is doug because Ador is the month of good ma it's the month of mas and but furthermore the K says like this why why do we say Doug Doug not that puzzle company what Doug and what's the yeah not no not that Doug right not the English Doug do giml do giml why do giml you know the says stands for learn stands for bestow to the poor Grant kindness to the poor so the gimel is the benefactor G the do is the poor guy the month of Ador is Doug we start with the doid the poor person in other words it started off with difficulty with tragedy it started off with AAR But ultimately will be giml giml is the benefactor ultimately it will be a month of ashir now let's talk about the following question are you supposed to be happy in ad Al or many people enjoy being depressed they get a kick out of it makes them feel good you know they like to be grumpy most the people like to be grumpy they like to be grouchy they like to complain they like to be you know the word a kagin you know they just like to be you know and deep down they're happy but they don't even want to admit they're happy so they make believe they're miserable about being miserable so I want to know when do you have to be happy in ad Al or could you say no I don't I I could wait until ad Bay now I could be grouchy and I'm going to wait you know when when does it begin when does it start when does it start all the says is so what does Rashi say say on that Rashi famously says that why do we rejoice in Adar Rashi says look at number five may they were days of Miracles for the Jewish people are days of Miracles p and p what's the obvious question on Rashi was P correct p is not PES no I'm saying all the story was in P what's the what's rash talking about p p friends is not an p is a Nissan so comes Rak andit and is bothered why does Rashi say pesak when pesak is in the month of Adar when pesak is in the month of Nissan andar says because rash is bothered by aasha if porim alone was a reason to rejoice in then why shouldn't we say or what's special about PM the answer rashi's answering is one y will never make a month a joyous month you need back to back you need two so what Rashi saying is kave you don't have to be happy because it's only one other months you don't have to have but the fact that you have the the fusion of two joyous months together that's why we say however says another reason why Rashi says p is because there's the following question when do we start being happy in ad orash said to say it's next to P you could be a grouch you could be miserable you could be depressed you could be down in the dumps okay I know that makes you happy so how come we have only oh there's no such thing none of the ever said Bo on P they didn't say they don't do anything no commemorate why look in did not observe any per is better than any perm you ever saw per Katan no if believe me if they would have celebrate perm Katan they would Market it the fact that you don't see any recognition of P it's because the p is the second one so at least that would be something to say well you can't be S maybe you can't be we say there's more they don't say more than yeah okay so all the re no no not that's they just but back in the day nobody said no said on that's what the said the real corrected that let them know right now okay none of the real did anything Onan so this is the opinion of r that the begins da on the second Adar but I found a CH number 14 he concludes his cha the morning of the third of a Tuesday the first day of ad that we begin to Rejoice so we see argues on and he says even now you have to be happy okay so pal snap out of it okay get that get that growl off your face and smile big big from ear to ear you know what ear to ear you know ear to ear all the way show your teeth your white teeth your smile the winning smile yeah supposed to be all year who says who says you're supposed to be everything you not everybody agrees you have to be happy all the time you know they say uh not everybody agrees with that that's when you're every you yeah but the rest of the time time you know okay but uh this is very interesting when says says let's talk about the two Adar now we know that some years there are 13 months in the year actually seven out of every 19 years is an iar and if I'm not mistaken yeah what um there is a very interesting neonic somebody told me a rabbi I met in Chicago told me a nanic go how do you know that I know it from thir grade from what grade I didn't study in the United States ah see this man had an education go it's in the book by the way it's worthwhile to get the book just for go is giml what Al 11 11 14 14 17 19 which Yesa did you go to you got your parents got their money's worth you know for for elementary school I went what's called religious public school that's the neonic so the question is why did kazal pick da ad to have as a second Adar why don't we have a second imagine we had a second Nissan imagine after P you told your wife you know uh this year there's a second Nissan you know you have to clean again you wouldn't you wouldn't even you won't even get you'd go P for six weeks straight or imagine you know why D the month of AD what we have PES sh yeah yeah PES we don't have any sunshine right and that your P you put mat on top of your pizza you know so and so the Lush is bothered why do we daa pick the month of AD to double up so he says very interesting answer he says because the nvi always calls Adar the 12th month and if we would pick any other month to double up then ad would come at the 13th month so we have no alternative but to double up Adar but then he says the real reason reason is because the says guard the season of the spring to make in the spring so the best way to guard something is to be right there imagine if I told you um I got a new job what's my job I'm guarding the border of Gaza right now really how am I guarding it I have a on my on my on my phone I have a camera you can't guard something if you're not there you know so you can't guard Nissan unless you're in close proximity so the proper way to guard Nissan is to have a second Adar but then the drops a bombshell he says which is the B okay that we know and what's Al Al is not a month it's not a month it's a placeholder of days it's a collection of days ad Al is not a month you hear this we're not in a month right now it's the added you know what the proof is AD always has 29 days but Al has 30 days why cuz it's not Adar it's not Adar and the proof is we don't lay in the Milla and we don't make fine you want to be a little happy we'll say but of course like the what don't they don't even say what on P they don't even say bu on PM when I say bu they don't even say buam nothing they don't do nothing on on patan Al says is not a month what's the maszle of Al no it's shabat the we're still in the shabat is 59 days in an so look in number 13 the asks then why don't we call it the LI but he asked the Kasha but the Maza we're still in a bucket we're still in the bucket what who says you should be by the way the that we say by said that every single day this is the says ended off the doesn't have any status and what are we going to do we need a way to get people to come to sh at least once a month imagine if we call so we call it and the people come and they Sway and they Shuckle when the says when the mad's going to be in you know that's a very spiritual moment right going to be good yet no of course not but it's still shat it's not the the says Al is oh so you'll ask so why do we call it ad and even more a better Kasha Al is called is called so it sounds like the is Al say it's because we have no choice cuz back in the day when they were mades they didn't know until close to the end of the month whether that month was going to be ad Al for B they didn't know if they're going to be two or not so what are they going to say in the beginning of the month they had to say it's ad and then if and then if there's going to be a second Adar so they'll call it ad Bas but in order to preserve what it was originally called the first Adar is Adar even though it's not Adar and the second is the that's the of the by the way that's the that that's number one number two is the mar the mar look at number 11 he says count the 12 months of the mooned uh corresponding to the 12 is connected of that's divided into two the says there two adors and both adors are fish by the way I saw something in the sa of why Adar is conned Y in what month you know we have two calendars we have the solar which is 365 and the lunar is 354 and because the solar is 11 days longer than the lunar and a quarter because there it's 11 and a quarter more the solar calendar is jumping ahead yeah 11 days right every year that's why Ramadan which is coming up is called the floating holiday cuz it could come out any time of the year it could be in the summer it could be in the winter it could be in the spring could be right you know when I was a kid there were um we'll put this off the camera right remember there were famous sporting events yeah when very tall players were in the finals and they were fasting remember this but it could come at any time there's no there's no scheduling it it's not like the American calendar it's scheduled for Monday every National H it's a Monday or a Thursday can do that the Ramadan is a floating holiday but but the the holiday of clal we reconcile the solar with the lunar when when do we reconcile the solar with the lunar in ad ad is when the Sun and the Moon come together in whose dream did the Sun and the Moon make peace Y in y's dream the Sun and the Moon bow down to each other so therefore Y is the shet that represents the harmonizing of the Sun and the Moon and therefore his month is very beautiful idea okay by the way in the which was published about 100 years ago he points out that all the other Maan areses G are do is plural why for and B so we have another sh here that Ador has both um both adim are are do by the way also says and that's why it's and in the is the son he quotes this is pretty amazing to me that would quote very interesting he quotes that that also ad ConEd Y and they're two adors just like Y is and also says both adors are Ma so says Al is a bucket and AD B is a fish and the mar and the and the and says they're both fish and now we're going to take a little poll and whoever's on Zoom I'm going to let you speak up okay but only this time who here was born in an Adar Bas nobody wow anybody on the zoom wow no one here born in ad B wow the last time I once asked this question and my friend Ellie sisma his birthday is coming up in ader Bay I'm going to give him a shout out but over the years I only I met very few people who are born in an Adar B you ready for this so we have two Shas so far a third sh comes to and he says we're g to fight choose men says what men men who are born in adeni because if you're born in adeni you don't have to worry about K why cuz ad sheni has no masle you don't have to worry about and if there's no doesn't work in fact one of the early he says is gatria 210 is gatria Adar so he says no it's not Adar is 205 he says yeah but you're off by one you could be off by one okay so he says is did I tell you what happened the I can't believe it you know I went I visited the last week I tell you what happened and the said was and I wanted to be now he was since moved to is and I wanted to be at his original burial spot on the day his P but the logistics didn't work out so I was there okay you could be off by one right then on chabas I was learning the was on he was on chabas so he was buried on so I was there at the spot that he was buried on the day he was buried only 218 years later to the day see we you see uh we try to schedule it that it should be there says no no no I'll I'll take care of the logistics I'll take care of the scheduling make sure you get there on the right day you know sometimes in life you think you're going to plan no they had they have it covered anyway the also says k k doesn't work in Adar Shen so if you're a magician don't try for any gigs in ad sheni the Magic's not going to work by the way there's an amazing Rashi in Babas Rashi says that pigeons I was once invited to do the Mitzvah in Williamsburg and we did the Mitzvah and I was presented with the eggs and so what am I going to do with the eggs he say they said eat them said eat Brooklyn pigeon eggs I mean Brooklyn pigeons they said they're much the eggs are much cleaner than any eggs you get in the store these pigeons are so healthy they work like clockwork every single month exactly to the day they give birth to a z Z their fertility is so precise and by the way then the Zar marries the Nika but rash says in they don't give birth just thought I would throw that out okay so don't go to the Brooklyn Navy yard in Adar it's not going to work but also so yeah Y is above aara but is is nothing there's no masle in by the way B also quotes this from R and from the and he brings it from and now I want to bring up something that I think I'm going talk about another week a USI that says that in the year the PM story happened was there was it a regular Adar or was it an iar Yi says it was an iar and it happened in ad B and maybe next week or in the coming week we're going to give four in thei okay but the says the simple explanation is it happened in an because H wanted to put Kish on us and it was ineffective why because ad Bas has no maszle there's no maszle in ad B by the way H thought that M was m and yesu was m and that's how he uh they were successful so hamon was very afraid but then when he saw that the lad fell out in ad b a a month that has no masle he was happy cuz he said now they can't pull Kish on me okay and now's no there's no m only but you said before is not a there are three number one is Al is not a month it's part ofat is the only that's the first the the second the is they're both and they're both and the third is Al is dou and AD B is nothing no mas at all so they're three there three on this and now the moment we've all been waiting for to the third yeah which is a which is a more important number out Bas still out B yeah but it would come out according to the third CH you should take down your signs and B what are you doing right it's ridiculous there's no ma and AD I mean if you like fish eat it but why are you putting up a sign there's no ma ad dug him in B according to the first don't have it up in ad Al so maybe you shouldn't have signs in double ad because either way you do it you know or you should write I'm going to come out with a new sign okay this going be very popular we're going to have a sign two different signs according to it's gonna say and then for I'm sure that's going to be uh yeah oh R you want to make R yeah I hear that okay now here's the bombshell how is it possible that a month has no masle how could a month not have masle and also could somebody tell me what kind of fish ad is connected with maybe we should eat that kind of fish how come you never hear oh it's Ador let's go eat fish right fish in a everyone's busy with fish people are so delusional they say oh that tuna steak it's Mish like a piece of real steak are you kidding me where H how could you be so self- delusional to think that a piece of tuna fish is like an actual steak I mean it's unbelievable but you hear about people eating fish in a but in Adar why don't people eat fish so I want to share with you something that is the T says in the beginning of that created the big sea monsters rash says Big Fish the and his mate God created the male and female and ultimately God killed the female and so Ed it for the because if they would ever mate and procreate they would destroy the whole world the talks about these the and the says the male is the straight snake the female of Yas son is the Crooked snake say don't think that you know this the fish of is some fuzzy wuzzy cutesy you know adorable fish that makes you feel good that blows bubbles and you know you want to give it a no no we're not talking about that kind of fish we're talking about Big Fish we're talking about big snakes the maszle of is the of are the two greatest destructive forces in the whole world otherwise oh saw that the ma of is fish scary right a really scary fish I I could think of a million things that are scarier than fish eight time not now but fish are not come on that you people don't have nightmares from fish tigers lions lepers fish sharks you don't want to swim with are sharks fish ma'am what to what there you it's not a fish fish says the the fish that's is the the straight snake and the Crooked snake and these two snakes if they ever got together they would destroy the world aalon is not serpent it's it's crooked it's it's curved aalon curved not straight says you know which snake this is It's the and the Sak the maszle of ad is death the and now if the and ever got together they'll destroy the world you know when they get together when there's when there's when we separate you see there are two forces in the world the force of good is the force of evil is the and the when there's unity in CL is come together and the and the separate but when there's the and the come together and separate you know we always talk about Jewish Unity the thing is no one has any idea why it's so important why is AK important it's important because it's good for a cuz if you don't have AK then you can't have AET it has nothing to do with AET well AK is good cuz it makes me feel warm I don't care what it makes you feel it's irrelevant how you feel why is AK important cuz it's fuzzy cuts to the core of how theam runs the world the for the ream to be able to be to be mative to CL Isel we need when there's then the the separate and they come together when there's separate and the and the come together is the male of Yas ad is the female of yasan you know it's amazing thing you know that at every single meal you have to have says except for sud you know why is it's like from is son the best security blanket is to separate the male from the female you know how we separate the male from the female in iar in in iar so we separate the male is Al the female is AD B the greatest security for cl is in I maybe that's why the year ham was scheduled to eradicate us was an iar and our safety was that couldn't get together with his mate this is now you know now so that so all these maum signs I mean they're all they're all a scam they have these nice cutesy fish and it's it's it's a scary fish I don't want to hurt the ma their doging business I also B cuz I want to support them I support ma sence but really and the thing is if you put a real picture up nobody would come to sh people would be too scary so we don't have a choice we have to put like a cutesy picture so that's what you know when your kids are in elementary school they say what kind of fish just tell them whatever kind of fish you want the clown fish I don't know but if you want to know really what what kind of fish it's the force of Destruction otherwise how do we understand why H was when he saw ma comes and he likewise says maim is the male of yan and the female of yasan and and this will explain you know why there's no ma cuz God took the son and he killed it the reason there is Mas it's but she's dead why when we leave say cuz we want to eat her she's dead she's so she's put away she's refrigerated she's dead not in we will no not in in in Tish there's going to be leftovers that you're going to still have in Tish but with this the meal starts yeah sudas p is uh is like a page out of the future so it comes out that when we say say that there's no ma in ad B Al is the male of Y so you say so then ad Al is a very dangerous month it was that's why Hashem castrated the male also the male of Yas Hashem was misis the the male so ad was inherently a very dangerous month by the way there's an idea that every year that PM comes the the x of hon is looming every year that's one of the reasons why we fast on Tinus eser there is a certain danger in is a is a very dangerous time we have to but H is the himself H is very comfortable with these Lans because they're like snakes now we know why we don't eat the these Doug and Adar because snakes don't taste good you don't want to eat snake I mean where you can dip it in ketchup well it's not doesn't go CCH yeah I mean are you going to slice you going to cut or eat it with a fork no you can't eat the snake we don't eat this type of ma do the male of Y son the female of Yas now fasten your seat bels I just want to tell you one more little pocket it's very hard to say over I'm just going to tell you the words they're two kinds of snakes they're dry they're Dryland snakes and they're Wetland snakes Dryland snakes are dangerous but if you get bitten by a Dryland snake Rashi says in if you get to the water before the snake gets to the water you'll be healed that like a wetland snake there's no cure so mhu when when he saw the snake he was very scared because if it was a dry land snake he would be saved because he's from the water he's but he thought maybe he was a wetland snake so said just grab the tail you'll see it's a dry land snake Now esther Cried Out Kaye Kaye L God God why have you forsaken me so say k k God in the uh you just hold the plug in yeah um U God in the dry land and go God in the wet land because Esther was also you know what Esther's compared to a gazelle now a gazelle any uh any Del any people deliver babies here nobody born in ad B and no okay a gazelle has a very narrow re and the baby can't come out so Kaz say how does the baby come out a snake comes and bites the gazelle and then the re opens and that's how it gives birth Esther is compared to so we're in trouble she's in trouble so she needs H to so to speak bite her and that brings the Yeshua but Esther didn't know is hamon a dry land or is hamon a wet land and hamon was aiming for ad because Adu died so he thought M he could be a wetland snake but it turns out he was mistaken because there's no Maul at all in ad Bay ad Bay Maz don't work at all so friends we have three sh in the two Adar sh number one is says what's the maszle of of Al according to the bucket bucket is it ad it's not really ad we call it ad but it's not really ad there's only one ad is that's then we have the and others that both adors are adors and they're both and it's and then we have and and the and the and is fish there's no ma is a page out of the future is sud there was a killed it it's like when we transcend all the that's why says every month corresponds to a sense what's the sense of AD smell why smell because smell is the only sense that was not used by the sin of Adar yeah Adam marisan listened to his wife he saw the tree he tasted the tree and he felt the tree he didn't smell it smell was never imped by the that's why it says when m comes how do you know if son's mashia yeah how do you know if's mashia business card yeah how do you know he puts it say he could smell out a case because if somebody's sense of smell is so pristine that means he he's like before the so therefore the month of Adar which is a page out of the future the sense of Adar is the sense of smell so we're moving into very rarified territory this time of the year these 60 days of the year are whether you begin being rejoicing says not yet says we already started but either way B is coming and rash says that have a good night sure you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah anytime.com
