Poem #1
The book of Leviticus begins,
With laws of sacrifice and sin,
The priests are given their command,
To offer up their offerings grand.
The burnt, the meal, the peace, the sin,
Each has its place, its time to begin,
The blood is sprinkled on the wall,
The fat is burned, the smoke does call.
The people come to make their plea,
To ask for help, to be set free,
The priest will listen, hear their cry,
And offer up a sacrifice.
So let us learn from this great book,
And take a closer, deeper look,
At how we live, how we can give,
And how we can in peace, all live.

Poem #2
A small aleph in Vayikra,
A mystery to all,
Why is it there, what does it mean,
What is its hidden call?
Some say it's there to teach us,
That we should not be proud,
That even if we're small and weak,
We can still stand out in the crowd.
Others say it's there to show us,
That every letter counts,
That even if it's small and weak,
It still has great amounts.
So let us learn from this small aleph,
And take its lesson to heart,
That even if we're small and weak,
We can still make a great start.
