Adar 2 - Rabbi Yitzchok Wolpin

As we have already begun the second month of Adar, and we all know that in this month we are to increase joy and happiness, I’d like to share with you a thought from the Holy Ruzhiner Rebbe. We know the rule of “botel bishishim”, taste becomes void when it is mixed with sixty times its measure. Says the holy Ruzhiner when there are two months of Adar, (as this year,) from Rosh Chodesh Adar 1 until the conclusion of Adar 2 there are sixty days, in which we increase joy and happiness. With the power of sixty we can nullify any sorrow misery or depression from the entire year.

May we merit always only joy and happiness.
