[א] ומנין שמעברין את השנה על הגליות שגלו ועדיין לא הגיעו? תלמוד לומר "בני ישראל..מועדי ה'" – עַשֵה את המועדות שיעשו אותם כל ישראל.
1) (Vayikra 23:2) ("Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: The festivals of the L–rd, which you shall call (them) callings of holiness — these are My festivals.") And whence is it derived that the year is intercalated for the sake of those living in exile, (who left their places) and have not yet reached (Jerusalem for the festival)? From "the children of Israel … The festivals of the L–rd" — Arrange the festivals so that they can be observed by all of Israel.
