Halocho #2230 - Happy times ahead

The 2 days of Rosh Chodesh Adar-I starts this evening:  on Monday evening.

One increases joy when Adar begins. Adar is a good time to deal with court cases involving non-Jews. 

I have not been able to establish if - during a leap year - the above is also valid for Adar-I (being the "real" Adar; the 12th month) or it only refers to the Adar closest to our joyous month of redemption (Nissan), viz. Adar-II.


Remeber to add  יַעֲלֶה וְיָבוֹא into Birkat Hamazon and the Amida.
