Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

We All Matter

This Sabbath, we read about the Tabernacle
    and the avoidance of a great debacle 
  Seems the Israelites donated so much stuff
    Moses told them, 'That's enough!'

  In fact, much gold and silver were left over
    fine silk, and animal skins, moreover
  Yet each donation was still put to good use
    and the craftsmen a fine Tabernacle produced

  With this ends the Book of Exodus
    to teach this lesson to each of us
  God values every contribution, large or small
    ~ Take away just one, there'd be no Tabernacle at all

Panagiota Romios March 19, 2023 at 12:32 PM A favorite but of course! Doing mitzvahs is a must. Thank you for sharing this great piece. I was watching footage about Hebron, earlier. Pangie xo Gershon Wolf March 19, 2023 at 6:55 PM A mitzvah a day keeps the Evil Inclination away... :)

Shirley Hawkins March 18, 2023 at 10:18 PM It is still a donation. Every little helps. Some people who are not rich give more than those that are. Because, as you say, Gershon, we all matter. Gershon Wolf March 19, 2023 at 6:52 PM Thank you for the nice comment, Shirley. We are the matter that really matters, methinks.
