Tammuz and Av are months

Shemiras Einayim is "Guard your Eyes"

Yidden is Yiddish for Jews

Middos are character traits

Ayn Rah is a grudging eye

Neshama is the soul

Emes is truth

Gaivahdik is arrogance

Anavah is Humility

Ruchnius is Spirituality

Lev is Heart

Echad is 1

July 7th Benevolence Spies Flawed Sight in Tammuz, Yiddens’ Tragic Hearing in Av, Shemiras Einayim, impropriety removes, 3 Middos did Avraham have, Good Eye, Humble Spirit & Generous Neshama, Their counter moves: Ayin Rah from a blind Lev, Arrogant Spirit, Ala denial of Truth, Greedy Neshama follow ingratitude does! Yet thinking your answers give birth, To the Emes, yields “Gaivahdik” shallows, Better to grope! … say, “I don’t know!”, 20/20 can be an illusion, Attending focus is by Anavah, 5 Tammuz 5771 was my stroke intrusion, Closing my outer eyes is how, My inner eye yields “Ruchnius” Fusion! Echad = 13, Unison, It’s the 13th Anniversary!
