Bo

Pharoah’s heart grew heavy,

And hard, like dried out leather,

HaShem lifted, then, lev Yisroel,

Which floated, like a feather.

Va’era Snapshot


The soot floated skyward,

And rained down as blisters,

In exchange for the shibud,

Of our brothers and sisters.

Shemos

Shemos Snapshot


The same old story, the same old fear,

They want us gone, but they keep us near,

It started then, down Egypt way,

And naught has changed up ‘til today.

Vayechi

Vayechi Snapshot


                    Life in Goshen was good,

                            we held life in our palm,

                    Before Yosef died,

                            and then was embalmed,

                    Along with the memory 

                            of what he had done,

                    By the Pharoah of Egypt,

                            who worshipped the sun.

Vayigash Snapshot


Pharaoh calls on them to leave behind,

The bulk of their belongings,

When in Egypt, be Egyptian,

And cast aside your moorings.

Mikeitz Snapshot


Seven years, ascending, from right to left,

Seven more, descending, from left to right,

Add one more and they’re

Just like candles.

Vayeishev Snapshot


A corridor passes from east to west,

Through Dothan and the valley below,

From Gilead to the coastal plain,

A way all the caravans go.
