Another outlook on Cheshvan

HAPPY NEW MONTH! ❤🌑 🇮🇱

This is the time to take the inspiration and all that we gained in the month of Tishrei and integrate it into our lives. The unique gift of Cheshvan is that it has nothing special about it. It is the month of silence that comes from peace and tranquility.

Some explain that mar means "bitterness" (think of the maror we eat on Pesach).
others explain that the Hebrew word marmeans "a drop of water", as in the verse "like a drop (mar) from a bucket." It is in this month that Jews in the land of Israel begin praying for rain.

* Additionally, the Mabul (Great Flood) in the times of Noach began in this month. Interestingly enough, commentators point out that the original name for the month found in Scriptures, "Bul" is also a reference to the Mabul.

Despite the dedication of the First Mikdash not being in the month of Marcheshvan, the Midrash relates that the Third Beis will be dedicated in this month. (Yalkut Shemoni, Melachim 184) Thus, not only will it not be a "bitter"month, on the contrary, it will be a month of rejoicing!
May it be speedily in our days!😍
