hiddurmitzvah:hiddurmitzvah:According to the Talmud (Ta'anit 29a), just like as we enter the month Av, we decrease in joy, with the beginning of Adar we should increase it! Traditionally it was a custom among Ashkenazic Jews in Eastern Europe for many centuries to hang a picture/plaque on the wall, the so called Adar or Mischenicnas plaque with the Talmudic quotation in order to remind the one for this mitzvah. These folk art pieces were displayed in households and synagogues during Adar, the month of joy, when the holiday of Purim was celebrated. The plaque was named after the first word of the central hebrew inscription: “When Adar enters, our joy increases”. The text stems from the Babylonian Talmud which reads as follows: “Just like in the month of Adar, we say, when Adar enters, joy increases, when Av enters, joy decreases”.Get a piece of the ashkenazic jewish tradition and a unique judaica item as we enter to the month of Adar soon!You can order the prints here:https://www.etsy.com/HiddurMitzvahShop/listing/945914516/adar-plaqueAdar is here!!!A Frelich Adar to everyone!! -- source link
