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.

Seven years, ascending, from right to left,

Seven more, descending, from left to right,

Add one more and they’re

Just like candles.

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.

Vayishlach Snapshot

Ya-kob had to cross the Ya-bok,

To get to the other side,

His name was obscured in the river,

But that never came to mind.
