Tzav/Shabbos HaGadol Snapshot


Tzav l’tzav, kav l’kav,*

Though I try to understand,

A little here, a little there,

For the rest, I’ve feet of sand.

Vayikra

 בס״ד



Vayikra Snapshot


With three fingers he scoops up a kometz,

Made with flour that cannot be chometz,

Pour some oil upon it,

Place some frankincense on it,

What’s unburnt he shall eat with his co-mates.

Vayakhel/Pekudei/HaChodesh Snapshot


As we complete the book of Exodus,

The feast of freedom beckons us,

We prepare for Elijah at our door…

This never occurred to me before.

Ki Sisa

Ki Sisa Snapshot


Is that all it takes, a half a shekel,

To make atonement for my soul?

If that’s the case, I’m glad to place,

Ten gera in the bowl!
