Good morning and welcome. In this week's Torah portion, we explore the concept of Pesach Sheini, a makeup day for the Paschal sacrifice. This event reminds us that even when circumstances hinder our connections to tradition, there is always an opportunity to reconnect. The Jewish people, wandering in the desert, only brought a Paschal sacrifice once, which raises questions about their faith and commitment during challenging times.

A group of individuals approached Moshe, expressing their desire to participate despite being impure. Their plea, "Why should we be excluded?" resonates deeply within our community. Moshe sought divine guidance, leading to the revelation of the Pesach Sheini law, emphasizing that it’s never too late to connect with our heritage.

This teaching underlines a vital message: no matter our past or current state, there’s always a chance for renewal and reconciliation with our traditions. Whether we feel distant or lost, we can always return and embrace our Jewish identity.
