Adar is the month of Jewish Joy!

"In the #Jewish calendar, the month of #Adar, the month of #Purim, marks the transition from the darkness of winter to the spring redemption story that is enacted on the holidays of #Passover and #Shavuot. This is expressed in the four unique #Torah readings of this period, which all address different aspects of preparing for Passover. It may also be behind the well-known #rabbinic teaching (#Taanit 29a) that when Adar begins, we increase our joy.

It is important to notice that this teaching is not descriptive. It is not a comment on the fact that as the air grows warmer, the hours of daylight lengthen and the first spots of green begin to appear on the trees, we might begin to feel some of the heaviness of winter lifting from our souls. Though this is true, the teaching is articulated as an imperative, calling on us to engage actively in creating more joy in our lives during this period."

Today is the first day of Adar - אדר - the month when the impossible turned quietly.

Adar brings Purim — a story of a people saved not through open miracles, but through ordinary moments that slowly changed everything.

No dramatic signs. Just hidden shifts. Quiet doors opening. The right person at the right time.

That’s what Adar reminds us:

Miracles aren’t always loud.

Look closer. What feels ordinary may already be turning in your favor.

Happy Adar 💙

Sehe gerade, dass ich nach Staffel 2 diese Umfrage erstellte 🤭. Das Ergebnis gefällt mir, zumal ich auch genug zu Meckern habe an diesem konservativen, autoritären, intrinsisch sexistischen Typen #Picard. #Adar in einer parallelen Zeitschiene wiedererweckt und nach zuerst einigen epischen Scharmützeln mit der #Sternenflotte plötzlich erster Uruk als Sternflottengeneral. Saucool wär' das! 🥳
