Pinchas

To succeed Moses?
Joshua the son of Nun
Nun must be so proud

Balak

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

Sh’lach L’cha

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

B’haalot’cha

Torah’s shortest prayer
Can be found in this Parsha
“O G-d, please heal her!”

Naso

In civil cases
The punitive damages
Are twenty percent

(Numbers 5 : 6-7)

Bamidbar

Levites aren’t counted
‘Cause G-d is counting on them
For Divine service

Behar / Bechukotai

The Liberty Bell
Has words from this week’s portion
Inscribed upon it

“Proclaim liberty”
A Jubilee commandment
And our nation’s creed

Emor

Not just offerings
Also the priests who make them
Must be unblemished

Also a lesson
For Jewish leaders today
Set good examples
