The Torah (a double haiku)
By Abbie Richards

My Torah is loved
My Torah deserves respect
Our present from God

I am loved by my
people they give me respect,
I am the Torah

Making the Torah
By Drew Cohen

Ink, paper, cow gut
Are some materials that
Help make the Torah

The Torah

The ark is open,
People standing by their seats
Singing joyfully

Moses leads the way

Walk around and kiss
Singing blessings of great praise
Long sheet of parchment
