Adar II is the sixth month of the Jewish calendar, occurring in leap years when an additional month is added. It typically falls in late winter, around February to March, and is a time for reflection and preparation for the upcoming month of Nisan, which includes the celebration of Passover. In Adar II, the Jewish community observes the holiday of Purim, which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman's plot in ancient Persia. This month is often associated with joy and festivity, as it is considered a time of good fortune and happiness, especially in contrast to the somber month of Adar I.
