Description

What happens when someone misses the opportunity to bring the Korban Pesach on the 14th of Nissan? The Torah presents a remarkable response: Pesach Sheni—a unique mitzvah that allows individuals to bring the korban one month later, on the 14th of Iyar. But this mitzvah is far more than a technical makeup offering. In this shiur, we delve into the powerful hashkafic and halachic dimensions of Pesach Sheni. We explore why this mitzvah is considered a foundational pillar of emunah. who is eligible, what constitutes “distance” or “impurity,” how it differs from the first Pesach in practical observance, and why even a convert or a newly bar mitzvah boy would be obligated.
