L'chaim L'chaim

There had been no circumcision for 39 years,

The Jews conquered Yaricho without any fears.

King Yoshiyahu found a Torah that was hidden,

He brought the korban Pesach and idolatry was forbidden!

Be specific when you're thankful, leave no room for second guessing,

Even the wicked child is worthy of a blessing.

From Pharaoh we learn to weaken our convictions,

Those that try to destroy us make us stronger, that's not a contradiction!

This week is Shabbos HaGadol,

The week before the Jews left Egypt in a scuttle.

Those that fear God are written in the Book of Remembrance,

The Egyptian and final redemption will share some resemblance!

We will read this haftorah in our shuls,

Each day of Pesach we give a goat, seven rams, and seven bulls.

On Shabbat and Rosh Chodesh we open the courtyard gate,

For the 3rd Beit HaMikdash, we await!

Speech can be used for good or for evil,

It has the power to connect or cause social upheaval.

We have lots of potential, but are not born perfect,

Quarantine gives us the needed time to reflect!

Nadab and Abihu were killed by bringing a foreign fire,

In the face of tragedy, sometimes silence is required.

When the stakes are high, it is good o be nervous,

Help people on their terms to provide the best service.  

Hashem will replace our stone heart with one made of flesh,

Our new heart and spirit will be refreshed.

We will return to Israel, not for our own sake,

The land of Israel will once again awake!

Hashem cries out in despair,

To rip out the Nazir's hair.

Our bones will be exposed to the stars,

The knowledge of G-d is the only thing that's ours.

Aaron is mentioned first when he gets a chance to clean,

An outsider is needed to break out of a routine.

How can mixing bread and matzah be understood?

We have to think about the bad times to appreciate the good!

Shaul was appointed as the king,

He just had to do one little thing.

Amalek's name had to be erased,

But since he failed, Shaul was replaced!
