Second Attempt of Sanhedrin to Observe Passover a No-Go


Last month a small group of Jewish believers, led by Rabbi Hillel Weiss who is the spokesperson for the newly formed Sanhedrin, had hoped to offer the Passover lamb on the Temple Mount.  However, they were denied in large part because of the coronavirus.  This month they were afforded the opportunity to celebrate the rite based on the possibility of a second Passover (Num 9:10-11).  Nonetheless, their plans did not materialize.  The first attempt would have taken place on the 14th of Nisan (April 8, 2020).  The second would have happened on the 14th of Iyar (May 8, 2020).
