cherry- R Gedalia schorr in his sefer ohr gedalyahu explains the reason we make a vort. And its not some warm and fuzzy im in galus reason. A bar mtzva isnt celebrating a birthday, its celebrating that a person is now a mitzuveh vi’oiseh. zayin adar is also Moshe rabbeinu’s yuhrtzeit, and thats why most people celebrate it. Lubavitchers celebrate the rebbes b day cuz hes not dead, so he cant have a yuhrtzeit. anything else?
