Terumah/Shekalim

בס״ד

Terumah/Shekalim Snapshot

Put the dishes and spoons on the table,

Which you fashioned of tubes and of pillars,

Now place all the shew-bread upon it,

And I’ll try not to be late for dinner.

Mishpatim

 בס״ד

Mishpatim Snapshot

Moshe built an altar,

Twelve pillars he erected,

At the very foot of Har Sinai,

Our devotion they reflected.

Yisro

 בס״ד

Yisro Snapshot

In a cloud HaShem rested on Sinai,

With fire, and thunder - by choice,

Apparently deemed more effective,

Than to speak in that “still, small voice”. *

*מלכים א’, י״ט:י״ב 

Beshalach

 בס״ד

Beshalach Snapshot

A relentless battle with Amalek,

That serpent, primeval Eden’s snake,

So keep hold upon the throne of God,

And find comfort in His staff and rod.
