- Q. Kvod Horav Shlit’a. Is it true that if one davens for something very needed and very special, he should do so and specially dedicate Rosh Chodesh Adar for it? Can one also in need then fast on that day?
A. Indeed sefarim write that the name Adar is related to to the Hebrew word Adir (Tehillim 8:2) meaning authorization, leading and strength. It is also the month of success and victory. (Machshevet Charutz, 4) Besides, during Adar spring is in the air. And there are indeed segulos written in Sefarim for Rosh Chodesh Adar.
Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit’a opinion is similar and added that one should not fast on any Rosh Chodesh.
