Pesach Sheni

From Halachipedia

Pesach Sheni is the 14th of Iyar, which is a month after Pesach. In the times of the Bet HaMikdash, Pesach Sheni was a day for the people, who couldn't bring the Korban Pesach on Pesach either because they were impure or were too far away from Yerushalayim, to bring a makeup Korban.[1]

Minhagim of the Day

  1. The minhag is not to say Tachanun on Pesach Sheni.[2] Some question this minhag.[3]
  2. There is a minhag to eat matzah the day of Pesach Sheni in the afternoon.[4] Some eat it also the night after Pesach Sheni, which is the 15th of Iyar.[5] Some don't have this minhag.[6]
