L'chaim L'chaim

Shmuel rebukes the people for wanting a king,

Shmuel didn't steal an ox, a donkey, not even one thing.

After a summertime thunderstorm came,

Hashem would not forsake His people for the Sake of His great name!

Chaos is a fertile breeding ground for division,

Be sure to get some sleep before making a decision.

If our arguments are well-intentioned, in the end they will endure,

Korach was misdirected, but he was right to want more!

The two spies were saved by Rachav, the harlot,

She ties a rope to her window that was the color scarlet.

Rachav hid the two spies on her roof,

The Jews could take Israel, this story is proof!

In Shelach, we learn about the sin of the spies,

Tzitzit are worn so we don't explore after our heart and eyes.

The Meraglim brought back massive fruit,

For their sin they had to tack on 40 years to their route

Yehoshua was wearing filthy clothes,

They were replaced with clean garments, the old were disposed.

Great and mighty mountains will become plains,

The Second Temple was built while Zerubbavel reigned!

The greatest leaders should sometimes say they don't know,

Miriam got tzaraat and it looked like snow.

The Jews yearned for Egypt where they got fish for free,

There's always something to kvetch about, and that's a grantee! 

An angel made Shimshon aware,

That their son will be a Nazir and cannot cut his hair.

After the angel refused to say his own name,

He miraculously disappeared when he went up in flames!

To move on, a person has to let go of the past,

The Sotah and the Nazir stand in stark contrast.

Berkat Kohanim is done with love and peace,

When we're thankful for the small things, blessings will never cease!

The holy angels were four-faced,

Bless the glory of G-d from His place.

The coming of the Moshiach is compared to birth pains,

The other nations were offered, but with the Jews, the Torah remains!

The Jews are compared to the sand of the sea,

We will return regardless of how far we may be.

Once the other nations find us disgusting,

In the end, Hashem alone we will be trusting.
