Send us a text Today we explore why the month of Adar is 60 days and the holiday of Purim symbolize an unending joy for the Jewish people. We dive into the historical backdrop of Purim, focusing on a time when the Jewish nation faced its darkest hour under the threat of Haman's plot. Despite these dire circumstances, the story of Purim emerges as a testament to the Jewish people's resilience and their deep-rooted bond with G‑d. Each episode will unpack the reasons behind the joy of Purim extending throughout the entire month of Adar, offering insights into how adversity was transformed into celebration. We'll explore the critical moments that led to Haman's downfall, the significance of the lottery falling in Adar, and how what seemed to be the worst possible timing turned into a triumph of spirit and faith. "Joy in Adar" invites listeners to reflect on the essence of Purim's joy—celebrating not just a victory over external enemies but the enduring strength of the Jewish identity and its eternal relationship with the Divine. Join us for a journey of understanding, celebrating how even in the lowest points, our connection with G‑d remains unshaken, making Adar the happiest month of the year.
