Devarim

 בס״ד

Devarim Snapshot

Menashe got the land of Og,

And the Gilead, shared with Reuven, Gad,

Where once dwelt those giant Rephaim,

Whom the Ammonites dubbed Zamzumim.

Maatos-Maaseh

 בס״ד

Maatos-Maaseh Snapshot

Journeys, Journeys, never ending,

Each encampment ever-blending,

Like new moon, ripening, once a sliver,

Shall we reach the full, beyond the river?

Pinchas

 בס״ד

Pinchas Snapshot

If a man leans his hands on a lamb or a goat,

It’s a matter of time before it is smote,

But when Moshe puts his on the head of bin Nun,

The people all see Yehoshua’s the one.

Balak

 בס״ד

Balak Snapshot

“Their roots have abundant water”,

It wasn’t Bilaam’s imagination,

Five-thousand or so years later,

We teach the world desalinization.

Chukas

 בס״ד

Chukas Snapshot

The Canaanite King of Arad,

In the Land of the South’s where he trod,

When he Israel espied,

On the path of the spies,

He said to himself “Oh my god”!

Korach

 בס״ד  

Korach Snapshot

Fire pans and incense,

Barren sticks which blossom,

I ran to find a hiding spot,

In which I could play possum.

Shelach

 בס״ד

Shelach Snapshot

Dare not to forget HaShem,

Because once they get a whiff of that,

Like blood in the water,

The sharks will circle.
