[Avodah] minhagei 9 av

[Rabbi Tal Zwecker]

"When Adar enters we increase, through joy." How do we magnify the joy
and happiness which comes when Adar enters? Specifically through the
simchah, through a positive outlook and a
joyous approach.

You can read it the same way, the only difference is that on Av this
reading creates a novel reading and a novel approach a chiddush!
whereas on Adar it just serves to already reinforce the way we already
understand.
