Rosh Chodesh: Bringing Tishrei's Sweetness Into Cheshvan

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Why is Hashem's name for Cheshvan the only one built from two pesukim? The Bnei Yissaschar brings from the Arizal twelve orders of Hashem's name, one shining through each month. Cheshvan's begins with udevash, the last word of a pasuk in Parshas Ki Savo, and a chassidishe sefer sees in it the avodah of bringing Tishrei's sweetness into Mar Cheshvan. A moment in Shemoneh Esrei picturing Neilah and Hoshana Rabbah carries that sweetness along, without the intensity.

Key points

• The Bnei Yissaschar brings from the Arizal a different order of Hashem's name for every month.
• Cheshvan's order alone is taken from two pesukim, starting with udevash at the end of one.
• A chassidishe sefer teaches carrying the devash, the sweetness of Tishrei, into Cheshvan.
