Time to keep the books.
Itamar, son of Aaron,
got himself the job.
Where did the gold go?
Mo gives a detailed account
of how much was used.
The garments for priests
were made next by the artists.
Pretty, yet useful!
Inscribed on the front
were the words "Holy to God"
Just as God had said.
So the work was done,
the Tabernacle complete.
They brought it to Mo.
Moses inspected
and saw they had done it all.
So he blessed their work.
God told Mo, "it's time
to set it all up and use!"
Mo did what God said.
When Mo was all done
the Presence of God filled it,
the cloud settled down.
When the cloud rose up
they continued to journey.
But if the cloud stayed
then they did not go.
The Presence of God was there
with them day and night.
Be strong, be strong, and let us strengthen each other!
See more Haiku Friday here.

"Chazak chazak v'nitchazeik" seems to take on a whole new meaning after what happened in Jerusalem today. May we all truly be strengthened in our struggle against those who see nothing wrong with murdering students.
