Chanukah is here
special time of year
her bright message so clear ~
A tiny flame displaces
much darkness and fear
Every seven years
The Land of Israel lies fallow
God's glorious Name
-- His Kingdom --
sanctified and hallowed
Nazis failed
filled with sadness
as I see Zionists try
history repeats
babies die
and die and die
God promised the Jews Israel
A 'Land of Milk and Honey'
So, most headed to America ~
where they could make some money
Jewish comics like Jackie Mason
He didn't really find funny,
But he was getting hold of
The wrong end of the comedy schitck.
I hereby nominate Donald Trump for the title of 'Honorary Jew'
~ The world only hates Israel the way it hates you
I was born a thief
a liar
a fornication
an adulterer
a murder
a sinner
why, then, am I punish
Because you have a choice
I am a descendant of a slave
You are the descendant of a criminal and prostitute
But all of us are descendants of Adam and Eve

Jerusalem is Israel’s prize
Land in demand Jews idolize
A Palestine state
Is denied and will wait
For more war before compromise
His right foot, a clipper
His left arm, a ripper
Glad it wasn't Yom Kippur ~
Wouldn't dare try his whip on me
Trains passing by late at night
depths
Heads home filled with people
Blacks, Hasids and others

Thank you, GOD
For loving me
A New Year beckons
God reckons
Jews pray
for sweeter days
Rosh Hashana begins
at sundown tonight.
See you next year!
A minor holiday, the Sages say
with a major message for today
Never let big government dictate terms
even when it comes to tiny germs
Poring over the holy books
Hoary heads, stroking their beards
Calibrating ancient laws for 2022
Eschewing payment, revered volunteers
And the mighty forces of Nature care not
birds chirp, lambs frolic, breeze picks up
~ the revived embers of Auschwitz
The Palestine mess can now stop
By copping a real estate swap
To keep Israel great
Carve a 51st state
In Texas should Jews their roots drop
First they come for the Jew
Thanks to the IDF
Now they won't come for you

The feast is now over
The four glasses of wine are gone
Memories live on
From the seders of the past
Springtime brings us such great joy!
J is for the joy you bring me
E is for the evidence of God
S is for the salvation you brought me
U is for unyielding truth
S is for the Son of God
I want to thank you Lord
You save me from slavery
You save me from lynchings
You save me from segregation
You save me from poverty
Thank you Lord
Needed am I, as bait to hook all wronged
My fall gives home to all the unbelonged
And your creation was my destruction
Christianity, a Jewish faction
