Poem

The orchards are bare
   Their branches picked clean
Vegetables all gathered
   Carrots. potatoes, beans

Israel's dwelt outdoors in 'booths'
   For the last seven days
The Festival of Tabernacles ending
   Today its very last day

There's been rejoicing and dancing
   Spirituality in abundant profundity
Blessings, prayers, ceremony
   To accompany gastronomic fecundity

Can it all be over, finished so soon
   To end with a whimper, instead of a bang
With the appearance of tonight's moon
   --Well, it's not!  God invites Israel to hang

   out with Him now indoors for one more long day
called 'Shemini Atseres,' which means the Eighth Day
   a day of unbridled joy, celebrated with the Torah
in circles of smiling faces, all dancing the hora!


    Happy Shemini Atseres and Simchas Torah!
       Sunday evening, October 20 through
        Tuesday evening, October 22, 2019
