Balak

June 25, 2010 in 5770, Numbers / Bamidbar, Shrek by Ed | No comments



A talking donkey!
Is this Balak in Torah
Or Shrek on the screen?

Both Balak and Shrek
Have donkeys as companions
And both are “ogres”.

Chukat

A strange ritual
Purification water
From the red heifer

Korach

The role of the priests
Is made clear in this portion
They lead, not Korach

Make yourself fringes
On corners of your garments
With a cord of blue

Look and remember
All the commandments from G-d
And follow the laws

Can be found in this Parsha
