Toldot
The names of three wellsTell about Isaac's journeySo, what do they mean?
First one is "Esek"Because Isaac was "challenged"By local shepherds
Second called "Sitnah"The shepherds still complainingAs "enmity" grew
At last, "Rechovot""Wide spaces" are now Isaac'sNo disputes arise
There's a lesson here:The path's not always easyStruggles on the way
If you persevereYou may get what you're seekingJust as Isaac did
Inspiration for this week's haiku came from a blog post by Rabbi Brant Rosen of Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation in Evanston IL
