Pesach Sheni: Hashem’s Gift of Second Chances [Short & Sweet Inspiration]

In this short, uplifting episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explains Pesach Sheni (14 Iyar), the "second Passover" opportunity for those who were ritually impure (e.g., contact with a corpse) or too far away to bring the Korban Pesach on 14 Nisan. He highlights the Torah's message of second chances — no one is ever "too late" to correct course, reconnect with Hashem, or fulfill a mitzvah. The story of Mishael and Eltzaphan (who became impure handling Nadav and Avihu's bodies) shows how passion for mitzvot, channeled correctly, leads to asking Hashem for solutions.Rabbi Wolbe draws powerful lessons: (1) Always a new beginning — today is your chance to start over; (2) Bring passion and fire to mitzvot (learn from Nadav/Avihu's exuberance but do it right); (3) Personally declare "Hine Elokeinu Zeh" — make knowledge of Hashem your own, not just inherited. Customs include eating leftover matzah and omitting Tachanun. The episode ends with a call to live with clarity, passion, and personal connection to Hashem, especially as we count the Omer toward Shavuot._____________Recorded in the TORCH Centre - Studio B to a live audience on May 2, 2023, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 4, 2023_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at [email protected] or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: [email protected]_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.
