7th of Adar
'And the soul of Moses will shine in the soul of Israel, for they are all one body.'
The 7th of Adar, the birthday and passing of Moses, the first leader of the Jewish people, was chosen as a day to reflect on the teachings of the Sages, and to commemorate the names of the Sages of Israel whose death dates are no longer with us. It is a day of learning and celebration among communities, groups, families, and societies in Israel and around the world.
The tradition of the 7th of Adar is to increase the study of the Torah of the Sages of Israel, in every generation, so that the illumination of the soul of Moses illuminates the souls of the Sages of Israel.
The 7th of Adar is a day when thousands of people will commemorate and learn the chain of generations, starting with Moses our Rabbi and continuing through the Sages of Israel, a chain of leaders, heroes, humble, wise, and dedicated. On the 7th of Adar, we will illuminate their contributions and the values that the leaders and sages instilled in the Jewish people, thereby giving them a place of honor in our collective memory.
During the week of the 7th of Adar, hundreds of educational and cultural events will be held in Israel and around the world. This is a week in which all Jewish communities will unite, regardless of denomination or perspective, learn the words of the sages of Israel, engage in values that emphasize the broad and strong common denominator of the Jewish people, and recite the words of the ancients.
The significance of the 7th of Adar is broader than the commemoration of the figure of Moses, who symbolizes uncompromising devotion to his people. It is a day that reminds us of the responsibility and right of each generation to continue the chain. It connects the tradition of the past with the values of today, emphasizes the importance of learning, unity and mutual responsibility, and invites us all to pause for a moment, draw inspiration, bless and be blessed, and give thanks for being a part of it.
The 7th of Adar is a day that increases the light of unity and blessing in the people, that creates a connection between the inclusive and moderate tradition of the Sephardic sages, makes it accessible to new audiences and future generations, and connects the entire nation to the strength of the leadership of the sages of Israel, from whom we can learn.
