[Avodah] Pesach Sheni

[Alan Yaniger]

<<I agree that eating matzah the night of Iyar 15 makes more sense.
nevertheless Tachanun is not said on Iyar 14 but is said on Iyar 15>>

If you accept Rav Breuer's understanding of Pesach, there is no
tension here. The 14th of Nisan is Chag HaPesach, built around the
Korban Peasch. Since regarding Korbanot, the night follows the day,
this Chag continues into the night of the 15th, but not to the next
morning. The second Chag, Chag HaMatzot, begins on the 15th of Nisan
at night, and continues for 7 days. Since Pesach Sheni is a second
chance for the korban Pesach, it can be seen as beginning on the
morning of Iyyar 14th, and continuing through the night of Iyyar 15th.
It's a replay of Chag HaPesach, not Chag HaMatzot. So there's no
problem if the minhag would be to eat matzah at night, and not say
Tachanun in the morning. By morning, the chag is over.
