Chukas

Chukas Snapshot

Cedarwood, hyssop, and crimson thread,

tossed in with a burning heifer,

with its dung and its blood and all of its flesh,

you could add, maybe, some salt and pepper?

Korach

 בס״ד

Korach Snapshot

These appear to be a people,

Whose leaders they defame,

Deny their own shortcomings,

And then pass along the blame.

Shelach

 בס״ד

Shelach Snapshot

It appears to me plain, from the way it was writ,

that He knew that we just weren’t ready,

We were given to choose, 

to play fast and loose,

Since our arrow hand wasn’t yet steady.

Beha'aloscha

 בס״ד

Beha’aloscha Snapshot

“When you go up” applies to the flame,

As well as the Kohen ascending,

And since, for each up,

There must be a down,

Both menorah and Kohen need tending.

Naso

 בס״ד

Naso Snapshot

Inclusion and exclusion,

This parsha speaks of both conditions,

They’re not mutually exclusive,

But essential to our mission.

Bamidbar

 בס״ד

Bamidbar Snapshot

Tachash hide is what was used,

To wrap the kelim of the Jews,

But Yechezkel brings us other news,

It could be fashioned into shoes.

Behar-Bechukosai

 בס״ד

Behar-Bechukosai Snapshot

Neither your servant, nor even your land,

Shall always be subject, remain in your hand,

Each one in seven, or seventh of seven,

They must be released,

Since they’re on loan from Heaven.
