'''Adar''' ([[Hebrew]]: '''אֲדָר''' from ''adir'', "strength") is the twelth month of the [[Hebrew calendar]]. It is 29 days long, and occurs in February-March in the [[Gregorian calendar]]. The festival [[Purim]] falls within this month. In a leap year, it is preceded by a 30-day additional month, '''Adar Aleph''' or Adar I; the usual month is then called '''Adar Bet''' or Adar II. Adar Aleph has 29 days; Purim is still observed in Adar Bet.
Due to the presence of purim in this month, it is considered to be the happiest month of the Hebrew calendar: its motto is ''MiShenichnas Adar Marbim BeSimcha'' "Since Adar enters, be more joyful."
