The Hebrew Calendar is quite complex, being lunisolar, and complying with the Hebrew religious traditions. The Calendar has a nineteen-year cycle, which includes leap years in the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years.
Today is the 7th day of Adar, 5768. As this is a leap year, an extra month Adar II is added between Adar and Nisan.
Adar is mentioned in Ezra 6:15, where work of restoration of the house of God was completed.
I am reminded that as humans, that we are a temple of the Holy Spirit. From brokenness, and exile, restoration puts us at the time and place of great celebration.
Ezra 6:15,16 (Tanakh Translation)
The house was finished on the third of the month of Adar in the sixth year of the reign King Darius. The Israelites, the priests, and the Levites, and all the other exiles celebrated the dedication of the house of God with joy.
