Emor

The Kohanim are the sons of Aaron,

Their yichus is not something they’ve earned,

They must conduct themselves with special care,

Their behavior must be carefully learned.

The son of a Mitzri and an Israelite lass,

Shelomis bas Divri of Dan,

Didn’t have to blaspheme in the way that he did,

He didn’t have to be that kind of man.

ben Shelomis was born of a humbler line,

Yet he could have become someone great,

A Kohain descends from a Gadol Hador,

Yet he still could end up second rate.

A wise man once said that yichus is just

A string of one or more zeros,

It’s up to us to put value up front,

Only then might we become heroes.
