The Torah in Haiku: B'midmar

May 22, 2025Helene Kohn

B'midbar 5785

Among my cohorts,
I am not a statistic
God's Tent within sight.

Naso 5785 

Without agency,
She's subjected to judgement
Humiliated.

Shavuot 5785

Wandering no more
Judaism is my home
Nestled in my heart.

B'haalot'cha 5785

Be at the ready
In assembled transitions
Lights, clouds, blasts, action.

Sh'lach L'cha 5785 

Determination
Disparate and desperate
WE will be giants.

Korach 5785

Seditious rallies
Endanger society,
Vanquishing order.

Chukat 5785 

She and her brothers
Wellsprings to the Israelites
Unforgettable.

Balak 5785

Seemingly choiceless,
Acquiescing to God's words
Balak undermined.

Pinchas 5785

Your inheritance
Weekly, monthly, yearly
Sharing God's glory.

Matot - Mas'ei 5785

In the warring zones
Merciless choices imposed
Painful history.
