A Message from Rabbi Jacob Herber
Rabbi Jacob Herber

the Israelites and their journey through the wilderness
of Sinai. Moses enjoins the people to offer the Pesah, the

This posits that an individual needed to feel contrite that he
was unable to offer the Passover sacrifice and recognize that
he wanted to make amends by being willing to expend the
energy and time to celebrate the experience again. The God
of Pesah Sheni is a compassionate and understanding God.
But we still need to be prepared to make the first move. We
have to acknowledge the realities of human life, the frailties of
human behavior, and the circumstances under which we live.
There are times when it’s all up to us. There are also times
when things are completely beyond our control. In either case,
we’re often given second chances to make amends and to do
what’s right. Compelling Conversations
