Pesach Sheni

Pesach Sheni, meaning "Second Passover," is a Jewish holiday observed on the 14th day of Iyar, one month after Passover. It provides an opportunity for those who, due to impurity or absence, couldn't participate in the original Passover sacrifice and meal. Historically, it allowed individuals who missed the first Passover a second chance to fulfill the commandments. The holiday emphasizes themes of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances, reminding Jews that opportunities for spiritual fulfillment and atonement can be revisited when circumstances prevent initial observance.
