Hagadah

Egypt is...
shyness
illness
loneliness
arrogance
prejudice
closed-mindedness
thoughtless speech
laziness
vanity

Egypt is...fill in the blank.



("In every generation, every person is obligated to see him-/herself as if he or she had left Egypt.")

Psalm 100

Happiness
Open, peaceful
Dancing, singing, thanking
In service of Hashem
Joy

(With gratitude to my sister for reminding me about cinquain poetry.)

Evening Sh'ma I

Branches entwine
Boughs heavy with summer leaves
A canopy
Shelter
Peace

Shabbat Amidah I

Purify my heart
that I may see you
that I may sense you
that I may know you

Purify my heart
that I may feel
that I may care
that I may love

Purify my heart
that I may serve you
