Happiness in the month of Adar
Question
Why are we instructed to rejoice from the beginning of Adar and not only on the 14th?
Answer
The Megilla says: "...and the month which turned for them from sorrow to joy...", and therefor we are to rejoice all month: "Mi'She'Nichnas Adar, Marbim B'Simcha" - "When Adar enters, we rejoice!"
