What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Alon Anava’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
We're in a very powerful month, the month of Adar, and this year we get a a double portion. A leap year. Even though I don't like using words in English for biblical and Hebrew terms, because leap year doesn't mean nothing. In Hebrew it's called shana me'uberet. A pregnant year. That makes sense. The reason why it's pregnant because we go in Judaism by the cycle of the moon. And there is also a annual cycle of the sun, which is 365 days in the year. But if you go by the cycle of the moon, we're missing 11 days every year. And what happens is that after the second and third year, we have a whole gap of 1 month, so we have to add another month to the order. And then what happens is that the cycle of the month of the sun cycle of the month of the moon, they meet. And as a result from that, there's a pregnancy. Like a man and a woman when they meet in the right way, of course, then there's going to be pregnancy. And the month of Adar is a very powerful month, and I'm sure you ever heard the the saying from the Torah "Mi she'nichnas Adar marbim b'simcha." When Adar comes in, we increase joy. There's an argument between our sages why in Adar you increase joy. I think you should increase joy in Nissan. Because in Nissan we were redeemed. I think it's a good enough reason to be also increase joy.
