Reb Shlomo and Adar

February 11th, 2010 | Purim |

Adar includes many notable holidays. On the 13th we commemorate the Fast of Esther, on the 14th we celebrate Purim (15 Adar Shushan Purim – celebration of Purim in walled cities existing during the time of Joshua)

The Yahrtzeits (anniversary of the death) of many great Rebbe’s who inspired Reb Shlomo are celebrated during Adar. On Adar 4 is the Yahrtzeit of Reb Leib Sarah’s (1730-1796), a disciple of the Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov. One of the “hidden tzaddikim,” Rabbi Leib spent his life wandering from place to place to raise money for the ransoming of imprisoned Jews and the support of other hidden tzaddikim. On the 13th Adar we commemorate the Yahrtzeit of Reb Moshe Feinstein (March 3, 1895- March 23, 1986) and on Adar 20 we remember RebYoel Sirkes (1560-1640), who authored of the Bayit Chadash (“Bach”) commentary on the Halachic work, Beit Yosef. On the 23rd of Adar we commemorate the death of Reb Yitzchak Meir Altar (1799-1866), author of Chiddushei Harim who was a disciple of the Maggid of Koshnitz and Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peshischa, and the founder of the “Ger” (Gerer) Chassidic dynasty. All his 13 sons had died in his lifetime, and he was succeeded (in 1870) by his young grandson, Rabbi Yehudah Leib Alter (the “Sefat Emmet”).

Reb Shlomo was always in “top form” during the week of Purim. He shared with us some of his deepest and most poignant Torah’s and Stories on Purim.
