Our Chanukah MenorahOur Chanukah Menorah
Inhaling sparked air, candlestick wicks,
Exhaling gold leaping tongues,
Hypnotize more than magic tricks,

Freeing us from "Yavan" wrongs,
Swallowing, hallowing, glowing licks,
Releasing an infinite light the world longs,
Flames...

Chanukah CookiesI’m almost out of flour
And my sugar’s at the end.
I do not have sweet butter
On which I, of course, depend.
Since I’m not going into stores,
I’m ordering from sites
That quickly get depleted
From competing appetites.
Yet with my...

Which is stringent and base
Children splurge and waste

Judgement now must soon be cast,
Much longer here I may...
