The Daughters of Zelophehad
Rabbanit Sharon RimonThe census in Parashat Pinhas is in anticipation of the division of the land. Why does the Torah insert two unrelated stories - the story of Datan, Aviram, and the sons of Korah, and the story of the daughters of Zelophehad? Apparently these are stories describing situations in which a person might lose his inheritance in the land, following a severe sin, or in a case of no legal heirs. Zelophehad's daughters claim that their father, who had no sons, does not deserve to lose his inheritance as someone who sinned severely, like Korah.
The Daughters of Tzelofhad
Shani Taragin |The story of Tzelofhad's daughters introduces five sisters who turn to the patriarchal leadership seeking to preserve the name of their deceased father. Their claim - "why should our father's name be omitted" (למה יגרע שם אבינו) parallels another claim brought in an earlier chapter of BeMidbar. The people who were impure due to contact with the dead approach Moshe with the same terminology - למה נגרע - regarding their inability to offer the Pessah sacrifice due to their impure state. The link between the two stories leads to the conclusion that Tzelofhad's daughters are correct, and their positive initiative is accepted.
Ramban on Parshat Behaalotecha - Pesach Sheni

Pesach Sheni is still significant in the desert, and its emphasis on the centrality of Pesach is important for the formation of national memories.

The Essence of Pesach Sheini
Rabbi Dr. Aharon Adler | שעה ו- 4 דקותWhat is the goal of Pesach Sheni? Is it its own holiday or a “makeup” for Pesach? Three different views in the midrash identify the people requesting Pesach Sheni, which correspond to three different halachic viewpoints as to the essence of Pesach Sheni. We examine each opinion and in order to analyze the meaning and significance of this day.
