 * On six months messengers go out:

 * On Av, because of the fast
 * On Elul, because of Rosh Hashnanah;
 * On Tishrei, to correct for the festivals
 * On Kislev, because of Chanukah;
 * On Adar, because of Purim;
 * And when the Temple existed, they also went out on Iyar, because of the little Pesach.
