(Hakhel/ Repost)
Wednesday, April 24th is Pesach Sheni. HaRav Yaakov Tzvi Emden, Z’TL (“the Yaavetz”) writes in his Siddur that:
“It was revealed to me from Heaven why Pesach Sheni was established on the 14th day of Iyar. After all, it would not require more than two weeks for anyone who was impure or too far away on Pesach itself to come to Yerushalayim and bring the Pesach Sheni. So, why wait a month from the 14th of Nissan to the 14th of Iyar–the Pesach Sheni could have already been brought by Rosh Chodesh Iyar?!”
