R’ Menachem Mendel Schneerson zt”l (Likutei Sichos) would say: “'החודש הזה לכם' - Unlike the secular calendar, the Jewish calendar follows the lunar system. To make up the difference of close to 11 days, we have a leap year which serves as a reminder that everyone has an opportunity to make up for what he has failed to accomplish in the past. Furthermore, just as the leap year not only makes up for the deficiency, but provides an “advance” on the future, a Jew must also intensify his efforts in his service of Hashem and store up additional merits.”
A Wise Man would say: “Unfortunately, I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.”
