#2 Rosh Hodesh: the first day of the month, a minor celebration

Adar: the first (as I recall) month of spring, in which Passover occurs. Easter is early this year because last year was a leap year in the Jewish calendar, which means we had an extra month in winter (essentially a second February). Long, long ago, when the Jews were primarily an agricultural people, the Jewish year began in Adar not, as it does now, in the fall (approx Sept/Oct).

#3 About the article itself. Yesterday it was reported that it was an off-duty Israeli soldier who lived down the street who killed the bad guy. Perhaps the religious community should require their yeshiva students to take military training and do military service like the rest of the country?

#4 I don't think so, t. Violence has no place in religious studies. Ask anybody!

#7 Oh, and apologies -- Adar has the holiday of Purim, which celebrates the story from the Book of Esther. The children wear costumes and the grown-ups get drunk. A fun little holiday.

/not because it's important, but at least it should be correct.
