We asked RRC students about their favorite Jewish holidays, and Bec Feldman shared her appreciation for Pesakh Sheni (which begins tonight!).
--
This biblical holiday comes a month after Pesakh, and it was an opportunity for those who had been ritually impure during Pesakh to offer their holiday sacrifices at this later date.

Bec says that Pesakh Sheni holds a special place in her heart, “because it shows us that — even as far back as the time of the Torah's compilation — our ancestors were thinking about how to be able to participate in ritual observance when the rest of our life and obligations don't perfectly correspond.” She also looks to the rabbinic layer, saying “The rabbis expanded on this, emphasizing that barriers to observance don't always look like blinking neon signs, but are sometimes subtle yet very real.”

Bec’s words remind us of the radical importance of accepting and uplifting imperfection, diversity and disability as holy and as wholly human. What a gift to be able to share the wisdom already coming from these rabbinical students as they do the work to become rabbis!
