Do you know that Purim originally happened at Pesach time? It was moved forward to the month of Adar so as not to be over-shadowed by Pesach.

Purim on Pesach?

Why Did The Rebbe Go To His Father-in-Law's Grave?
Amongst the nonsense on the internet which some of you may have heard or read lately, some people are now under the impression that Judaism forbids prayer at the Kever of a Tzaddik. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Click here to read why we pray at the graves of Tzadikim and see below to learn the truth about the Lubavitcher Rebbe's prayers at his father-in-law's grave.
The Rebbe would often go to the Ohel, the resting place of his father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn (the "Rayatz"), of righteous memory. In the first year after the Rayatz's passing in 1950, the Rebbe would take a bus to the Ohel together with the yeshivah students before every Rosh Chodesh (the first day of a new Jewish month). After that year, the Rebbe would travel by car. After the Rebbe's mother passed away in 1964, the Rebbe started going an additional time, mid-month. In even later years, there were times when the Rebbe would go to the Ohel four times a week, nearly every weekday.
I [Yehuda Krinsky] drove the Rebbe almost every time, thousands of times. The Rebbe always had bags of letters with him, filled with requests of every kind that the Rebbe would read at his father-in-law's resting place.

The Rebbe stood opposite Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak's burial spot the entire time. There was a small room built to protect the Rebbe from the cold, heat, snow and rain. In the summertime, we had an air conditioner, and in the wintertime a heater, so the Rebbe would remain relatively comfortable.
The custom at the Ohel is to tear your letter after reading it, and toss the shreds onto the burial spot. The Rebbe would do this with many of the letters he received. Sometimes, however, the Rebbe would jot a response on a letter and bring it back with him to his office.

The Truth About The End
Don't believe all the negative prophecies on the internet.
It is easy to prophesy disaster. If the prophecy comes true, then you have spoken the truth. If it does not, then you can say: G‑d relented and forgave.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
In the redemption from Egypt, our Sages explain, only one Jew out of five left. Four-fifths of the people died in the plague of darkness.
In the Future Redemption, by contrast, no Jew will be left behind. Every member of our people will share in Mashiach's coming.
@ 2:24:20 in this video
Question to Rabbi Kessin: If one-fifth [of the Jews] went out with Moshe, does that have to be repeated in this Redemption?
Answer from Rabbi Kessin: No. Because with Moshe Rabbeinu they went out with zchus - they merited to go out because they suffered for 210 years.
Today it's not zchus, it's b'ito [in it's time]. It's the End, and when it's the end everybody goes out.
That's a big difference.
It's the End Time.
At that time they earned the right to be redeemed.
We must be redeemed because G-d swore he will bring the Redeemer for his Great Name.
And that's why Yaakov wanted to reveal to his kids the acharis yaamim... that is b'ito.... that is the End.

The Sun is Changing in Front of our Eyes
This is not AI or CGI or anything else fake. This is an actual video, and I know it's real because I've seen this happen before, many times, in other photos and videos. Something huge is happening over our heads, and most people are missing it.
I blogged about this in August last year, you can see it again here.

The Numbers Add Up
Rabbeinu Bechaya points out that the numerical value of the words "HaMishkan" הַמִּשְׁכָּן and "Ha'eidus" הָעֵדֻת correspond to the total number of years that the first Beis HaMikdash, second Beis HaMikdash and Mishkan stood.
