Be Happy Adar Is Coming
Two thoughts on how this happiness needs to be tempered:
1) This year marks the first anniversary of the terrible murder of 8 teenage students from Merkaz HaRav in Jerusalem.
2) It is a custom to drink alcohol on Purim. However, one must always take care of one’s health and the health of others. Therefore, if you or family members do not know how to drink responsibly, don’t. We don’t need the happy day of Purim to turn to tragedy.

Batya says
Since last year's terror attack, it's hard to celebrate Rosh chodesh Adar.

Batya, I can imagine that those close to the families like yourself must find this time painful.
Thanks to everyone for your nice words on my watercolor. If you've been reading my blog long enough, you'll know one of my incentives for blogging is to have an excuse to take out the paints every now and then and put up some homespun art.

What a wonderful and lovely painting, as always.
Yes, drinking in moderation is a must. For some, not drinking is a must.

Jew Wishes, thanks for reinforcing the remarks on alcohol use (and abuse).
