Yom Kippur

 בס״ד

Yom Kippur

airplane flights where i

pored through a chumash

reading each line carefully

searching for meaning, direction

purpose

getting lost in Leviticus

one big “Huh?”

it must be here, it must be

somewhere

or not

digging deeply into

ashkenaz, sefard, chasidus,

and Marvelous Morocco

(those people are alive on the

planet)

but that is not mine either

kids whose paths are all different

from mine

but full of purpose

i like to think that perhaps 

i had something to do with all that

just by being alive

may it all come to testify

on my behalf
