A double portion
G-d instructs Aaron
Consume no intoxicants
In Tent of Meeting
So you can still tell
Ritually clean items
From those that are not
Does this law tell us
That Nadav and Abihu
Were not of clear mind?
Pesach starts tonight
Have a meaningful seder
Celebrate freedom
A job for Aaron:
Keep the altar fire burning
An eternal flame
Vayikra: G-d called
Does G-d call to us today?
What are you hearing?
Two years ago, this blog began with an entry for Vayikra. Now The Torah In Haiku has about 250 visitors a month, more than 100 fans on Facebook and almost 150 followers on Twitter. It’s also featured on RJ.org, the blog of the Union for Reform Judaism. I am grateful to everyone who has taken the time to share this fun way of exploring Torah.
The Tabernacle
Erected in the desert
As G-d instructed
A cloud covered it
To show that it was filled with
The glory of G-d
When G-d’s cloud lifted
The people knew it was time
To travel again
Why’s this haggadah
Diff’rent from all the others?
‘Cause it’s in haiku!
Available now – just in time for Passover – it’s The Haggadah In Haiku. All the steps in 17 syllables each.
It’s all here … the Four Questions, the Ten Plagues, the Four Children, all Four Cups of Wine
This night differs, why?
Matzah, maror, dip, recline
Keep asking questions.

The Haggadah In Haiku is a project of The Torah In Haiku
G-d does some hiring
Betzalel, Oholiab
The Mishkan builders
But the work must stop
Each week to observe Shabbat
It’s G-d’s day of rest
Ready for Pesach?
