Behar-Bechukosai
“Do what I tell you”, it reads not ungently,
You’ll be better off, both physc-ly and ment-ly,
Go as commanded in the path that I set,
(It’s not a suggestion, on that you can bet.)
About Noach it says that he walked with HaShem,
Avraham travelled before Him, but then,
The path that we follow is not quite so clear,
The trail that we tread, which we hope brings us near.
Nusachim, minhagim, they all play a part,
They grab at our kishkas, they pull at our heart,
Halacha is subject to: where, when, and how,
Sometimes its hard to know what to hold now.
Are we given more credit than our Fathers before us,
If we get it wrong, is there less of an onesh,
Like blind men we edge along, tapping our cane,
On a cliff masked with shadow, temptation, and pain.
We depend on Your brachos, the ones that You pick,
Please guide us with carrot, instead of the stick,
We cannot walk with or before as they did,
We have to seek after…’cause You’re so well hid.
