Old man Moses sat upon his rock; contemplating, his woes
Moses ails but a vision of a land to his sons and daughters
Born not to settle for their history as more than transpose
Exiled from Israel thus...Read More

The Storm of Ages

I was given a taste of something... sweet. 
Innocence reborn a new, 
I... am... born... again. 

While some celebrate, 
others cringe and cry.
They try to mock and separate, 
what is truth and real? 

Yelling openly,
and not the...Read More

The
current 
President
of the U.S.
may look like a thug,
but is not much worse
than those who preceded him -
most of these have been war-mongers.
Trump is disgracefully pro-Israel,
but in that he is no worse than Clinton....Read More

So proud of my son now, just bursting with pride
   though there were times, I admit, I was worried inside
   
In pre-induction training to defend the Jewish State
   surrounded by sworn enemies loaded with...Read More

The Goal of Life:

"Finally, my fellow believers, continue to rejoice and delight in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you. Look out for the dogs [the Judaizers,...Read More

Winter's Friday afternoon
  The Sabbath comes in so soon
The sun, if there be one
  fairly plummets down
    Already's appeared the moon

If I was God
I'd be angry with the world
I'd be angry with Christians
Because I told them 

How to overcome the world's problems
first they were to go out into the world
and become fishers of men
then they were to teach them ...Read More

Oh, that music from the movie,
so impassions me!
That haunting violin, with its moving
virtuosity.

Notes fill the air of man's most craven 
inhumanity to man.
The reminder that it can indeed, verily
happen again.

One man, Schindler, saved so many 
precious Jewish lives.
Some to this...Read More

The Devil’s apostles with shovel and hoe
Plant their crop of death before Winter’s snow
Fertilizing with bullets row upon rows
A perfect preview of Hell I suppose

FORTINGALL YEW

We drink to Life. L'chaim. Summer smiles
In Leah's eyes, June sunlight gently glowing.
The glass waits on the earth, bowl, base, and stem 
Remembering. Then, shards beneath 
My foot. Then, Mazel tov, the guests all cry. 
God send you many sons....Read More

and it will take most of my life, 
to climb to the top. 
That is okay, 
as an objective needs to be tall enough, 
to challenge self, daily...
on the road to a life worth...Read More

Not listening
 
The old poet, a Canadian of Jewish ancestry,
Was tall elegant, wearing a hat in a jaunty angle
Reminded me of Alfred, my imagined father
He had a winning personality.
 
Remember the coma they tell me and write
More about love, beautiful...Read More

I surmise yours truly i.e. me
a slacker boomer - ye,
whereby repose finds me
face buried in pillow free
and clear of Earthly worry

mainly, namely, particularly...
lack of legal tender re: money
woeful bane, yes unarguably
legitimate casus belli key
ping mental state agonizingly

able, eager, and ready...Read More

When Esau found out he was very sore.
He vowed revenge on Jacob for an all out war.
Sometime later they would make amends, 
They would not only be brothers, perhaps maybe even friends.
Jacob went to Panda Aram to find him a...Read More

Believe me - I am not the best Jew in the world
I have read AJ Heschel though

L is for the matches love my beloved
Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ.

It shines throughout his life for the whole

My friend, do you know me?

  Which mischaracterizes my beliefs and me
