Pekudei Snapshot

For Moshe, first kelim, then mishkan,

Bezalel says just the reverse,

A gadol’s path starts from kedushah,

But emunah typically comes first. *

We start in shamayim, and thence we return,

Like Shabbos, it comes at both ends,

We were given the parah adumah,

For repairing the rip that death rends.

From all of the other nations,

God promised to make us distinct,

That brings with it many blessings,

And those who would want us extinct.

Tetzaveh/Zachor Snapshot

I’ve never worn a robe of turquoise wool,

Nor ever seen one, really,

I’d hate to see the cleaning bill,

But I’m just being silly.
