However, sometimes we're asking when it has been a full year. The Magein Avraham's understanding of the Rama is that a boy born in Adar I whose bar mitzvah year has two Adars would still have his bar mitzvah in Adar II! His first year was from Adar I to Adar, and his 13th year would be from Adar to Adar II. This isn't a matter of the 2nd Adar being more real, but a two-Adar year being 13 months.<br /><br />So the MA is close to your lomdus point.<br /><br />FWIW, I chose R' Dovid Lifshitz's shiur over the track leading to the Rav in (small) part because I don't think ending with the lomdus is constructive. Who needs all this theorizing if it doesn't inspire to be a better Jew? R' Shimon Shkop (R' Dovid's rebbe) took R' Chaim's derekh (R' Chaim being <b>his</b> rebbe) of trying to find the "Vahs?" (What?) and added the "Fahr vahs?") (Why? or more literally: For what? Much like "mah" vs "lamah?" = "le-mah?")micha bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612144735431285113noreply@blogger.com
