PRINCES

[2b middle] Braisa: If a king died in Adar and his son succeeded him in Nissan, we count the first year for the first and the second year for the son. You might have thought to count two years for the son as he is the same family and sharing that year, but we learn you cannot.

T’s lesson: The importance of family and self respect can never be forgotten. Especially on the heels of a day that commemorates our mothers who brought us into this world, we should always make sure to carry the torch respectfully of family tradition. We should also always remember that we are royalty, and children of the ultimate King. Always make Him proud by acting in the highest dignified manner possible with true self esteem and utmost self respect.
