A Hint in the Numbers?
It's already Tuesday here in Australia. Today's date is 22.02.2022 [21 Adar A]
We are in the 3,333rd year from Yetzias Mitzrayim.
All these recurring numbers, and each set adds up to 12.
Twelve represents totality, wholeness, and the completion of God’s purpose. There are 12 tribes of Israel, 12 months in the year, and 12 houses of the zodiac [Genesis 27:20, 25:16; Exodus 24:4, 25:27; Ezekiel 43:16;Yoma 75b, 77b; Taanit 25a; Hullin 95]. [Source]
Our generation has all the signs of the generation before Moshiach. The war of Gog u Magog appears to be starting. Maybe these numbers are a hint that this year will see the completion of God's purpose.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights.

Chevlei Moshiach and the Double Adar
As we all know, we have a double Adar this year. We are being told that Russia is set to invade Ukraine on Wednesday [15th of Adar I]. In regular years, the 15th of Adar is Shushan Purim, the festival that celebrates -- in Jerusalem and other ancient walled cities -- the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman's evil decree in the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE). In a leap year -- which has two Adars -- Shushan Purim is observed in Adar II, and the 15th of Adar I is designated as Shushan Purim Kattan, the "Minor Shushan Purim." [Source: Chabad]
Normally, the Jewish calendar year has 12 lunar months and every few years (7 in each cycle of 19 years) we have a “pregnant/intercalated year” (שָׁנָה מְעֻבֶּרֶת) with 13 months. In these years, the first Adar is the intercalated month (חֹדֶשׁ הָעִבּוּר)—the month of ibbur—the 13th month that is added to the year, while the Second Adar is the original Adar that we have every year, which is why Purim waits patiently until we celebrate it during the Second Adar.

How appropriate that we have the chevlei Moshiach [birthpangs of Moshiach] during a pregnant year !

Vilna Gaon: "Arrival of Moshiach is Close"
"When the ships of the kingdom of Russia cross the Dardanelles you [Israel] should dress in Shabbat clothes because this means the arrival of the Moshiach is close." - Vilna Gaon - This quote is said over in the name of Rav Chaim of Volozhin who received it from the Vilna Gaon.
Link to Daf Ditty Shabbes 118 for more on this.
The first part of a Russian Navy amphibious landing ship force, which can carry troops, tanks and supplies, has entered the Dardanelles, connecting the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. This is significant, representing a point of no return in their controversial voyage towards the Black Sea and Ukraine.

Esther's Last Words
[Jonathan] Pollard said that Esther’s last words had “completely changed my life.” He said that “she was dying and her eyes were closed. She opened her eyes and I was holding her hand and…I don’t know where she was, she was just looking up. She said in a very small voice that ‘My neshama volunteered to come back for two missions. One of them was to bring you home and the other one was to bring you home as a Jew and not as a goy.’ She said the first mission was the easiest one of all….I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She added that the hardest mission was to make sure you returned home as a Jew. She said that ‘now I have accomplished my missions I can go home’- and then she died.”

The Secret of Anti Semitism and Its Remedy
New shiur from Rabbi Mendel Kessin
EXCERPT: "We now realize how important it is, how much history is determined, by what we say and how we feel about Jews. Now, especially, in the month of Adar, the month of the mazal---fortune of Yosef, really Mashiach ben Yosef. One of the sins he did was to have spoken loshon ha’ra against his brothers. Therefore, he was punished. By condemning his brothers, he was condemned. This is an auspicious time, therefore, to focus on shmiras ha’loshon.
"I want to mention one last thing: the Torah is not a document, a book, about historical events. If you understand that, you can absorb the essential message the Torah lays down. Even though it describes historic events, it lays down the principles that move history, what that movement is based on. Look how much is based on just three words, 'rav ya’aved tzair,' or its alternate pronunciation and meaning, 'rav ya’avod tzair'! Torah is the guidebook to the profound dynamics of history."

Gaslighting and Geneivat Da'at
The term 'gaslighting' is used a lot these days. The word originates from the 1944 movie 'Gaslight' in which a husband slowly manipulates his young wife into believing she is insane.
Around the same time I was reading about gaslighting in an un-related book, one of my neighbours decided to gaslight me.
She's done it before, and I had tried to ignore it and give her the benefit of the doubt that she's just stupid, but when she did it again.... AND I just happened to be reading a paragraph about it in a novel I'd randomly picked up to read....I decided that word was worth a bit of attention.
Gaslighting is actually geneivat da'at - theft of the mind. It is the worst sin of all.... and you can read about it here. Don't put up with it from anybody. Walk away from them, don't argue with them, just move on.
I think my lesson has finally been learnt B"H.

Parshat HaMann - The Chapter of the Manna
Art: Heidi Malott |
Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Riminov [1745-1815], a disciple of the Holy Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk, instructed everyone to read "Parshat HaMann" specifically on the Yom Shlishi [Tuesday] of Parshat Beshalach in the "Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum" format, i.e. reading the Hebrew verses twice and the Aramaic translation of Onkelos once. This year it will occur today Tuesday 11 January.
Not to be confused with the evil villain of the Purim story, Parshat haMann [The Chapter of the Manna] is found in the 16th Chapter of the Book of Exodus: verses 4-36. This Chapter details the episode of the miraculous "Manna" [bread from heaven] that sustained the Children of Israel during their 40-year journey in the desert.

How to Bring Moshiach Now
New audio from Rabbi Mendel Kessin
"We know, as the Torah shows us, G-D must press the "restart button.” We’re already at the end of the tikkun process, toward the end, so He won’t destroy the world. The 4000-year-long exile of the Jews produced so much suffering enabling the world to be redeemed despite the depth of its depravity. "What we experience now is nothing more than evil dominating the globe. Why?---same idea. It’s part of the prosecutions of the Satan in the Heavenly Court who, rightfully, argues, 'Wait a minute! It is I who have the justified right to dominate---not goodness, righteousness, holiness!’ and he’s right because of the world being at the level of the 49th Gate. "G-D will, therefore, bring Mashiach—that’s right! We are the generation that will see Mashiach, first Mashiach ben Yosef, and then Mashiach ben David. The world is being prepared for that."
