Adar
Adar (
Hebrew: אֲדָר,
Standard Adar
Tiberian ʾĂḏār ; from
Akkadian adaru) is the sixth month of the civil year and the twelfth month of the religious year on the
Hebrew calendar. It is a winter month of 29 days. In leap years, it is preceded by a 30-day
intercalary month named Adar Aleph (
Aleph being the first letter of the Jewish alphabet), Adar Rishon (First Adar) or Adar I and it is then itself called Adar Bet (
Bet being the second letter of the Jewish Alphabet), Adar Sheni (Second Adar) or Adar II. Occasionally instead of Adar I and Adar II, "Adar" and "Ve'Adar" are used (Ve means 'and' thus: And Adar). Adar I and II occur during
February–
March on the
Gregorian calendar.
