Editing Passover (section)

==Second Passover==
The "Second Passover" ([[Pesach Sheni]]) on the 14th of Iyar in the [[Hebrew calendar]] is mentioned in the [[Hebrew Bible]]'s [[Book of Numbers]]<ref>{{bibleverse|Numbers|9:6–13}}</ref> as a make-up day for people who were unable to offer the pesach sacrifice at the appropriate time due to [[Tumah and taharah|ritual impurity]] or distance from [[Jerusalem]]. Just as on the first Pesach night, breaking bones from the second Paschal offering or leaving meat over until morning is prohibited.<ref>{{bibleverse|Numbers|9:12}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.halakhah.com/rst/pesach.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=April 16, 2019 |archive-date=February 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200206004220/http://www.halakhah.com/rst/pesach.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>

Today, Pesach Sheni on the 14th of Iyar has the status of a very minor holiday (so much so that many of the Jewish people have never even heard of it, and it essentially does not exist outside of [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] and traditional [[Conservative Judaism]]). There are not really any special prayers or observances that are considered Jewish law. The only change in the liturgy is that in some communities ''[[Tachanun]]'', a penitential prayer omitted on holidays, is not said. There is a custom, though not Jewish law, to eat just one piece of matzah on that night.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://torah.org/learning/yomtov-omer-5755-vol1no21/|title=YomTov, Vol. I, # 21 – Pesach Sheni, The "Second" Pesach|website=Torah.org|date=March 2016|access-date=April 1, 2020|archive-date=August 6, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806122007/https://torah.org/learning/yomtov-omer-5755-vol1no21/|url-status=live}}</ref>
