[Avodah] 31 Days Before the Bar Mitzvah: A Primer on Mitzvah Observance in a Double Adar

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

Just like most other Bar Mitzvah bochurim, my son Mordechai Zev 
started donning his Tefillin a while before his actual Bar Mitzvah 
this past Rosh Chodesh Adar Sheini, as part of his preparations. Yet, 
unlike most others who start donning Tefillin two or three months, or 
more commonly, one month prior to the actual 13th birthday, my son 
started wearing Tefillin 31 days before his Bar Mitzvah, an opinion 
not explicitly found in any early halachic codex. But to understand 
why, some background about Double Adars is in order...

To understand why, read the article
