Our traditions are very bound to the Jewish calendar. This year, we add the month of Adar I before the usual month of Adar, called Adar II or Adar Bet during a leap year like this. Why? Good question, Judaism 101 answers nicely. #leapyear #Jewishleapyear https://t.co/TZC1uCXWrO

It's a holiday. It's not. It's Shabbat. It's not. This season can make balancing our secular and religious lives tough. Albert Einstein, mostly known for more serious quotes, said, "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." :-) See you in shul!
