Hayom Yom

י״ד אייר

Wednesday Iyar 14, Pesach Sheini 5703, 29th day of the Omer

Chumash: B'har, Revi'i with Rashi.

Tehillim: 72-76.

Tanya: To illustrate this (p. 253)...thought and mind. (p. 253).

The theme of Pesach Sheini [1] is that it is never too late.

It is always possible to put things right. Even if one was Tamei (ritually impure), or one was far away, and even in a case of Lachem, when this (impurity etc.) was deliberate - nonetheless he can correct it.

Notes:

See Bamidbar 9:10.

Pesach Sheini, second Passover sacrifice, was to be offered by those who, at the time of first Pesach, were "...defiled (Tamei) by a dead body or on a distant journey for yourselves (Lachem)..."

an opportunity is offered to anyone who failed to bring the Pesach offering in its proper time, for whatever reason - even impurity, even "alienation" ("...on a distant journey etc..."), even if this was deliberate - to repair the situation.

may celebrate Pesach Sheini, the Second Pesach, a month later.
