Ki Sisa

Ki Sisa

A census of the people,

HaShem said should be made,

But counting people is dangerous,

It could bring down a plague.

So we each gave Mechetzis HaShekel,

Each and every Jew,

To build the holy Mishkan,

So clean and sparkling new.

Then Moshe gets the luchos,

But he descends too late,

They build themselves an idol,

And say they could not wait.

I guess they didn’t get it,

That by building themselves an Egel,

They’re cutting off their options,

Just like a blueberry bagel.

This parsha shows tzedaka,

Can keep us from disease,

And patience is a virtue,

So don’t be hasty, please.
