Tabernacle clouds
Divine sign to the people
Stay put for a while
When clouds have lifted
G-d is sending a message
It’s time to move on
Bamidbar/Numbers 9:17-18: Whenever the cloud rose up from the Tent, the Israelites would set out on the march. The Israelites would then camp in the place where the cloud rested. The Israelites would thus move on at God’s bidding, and at God’s bidding they would remain in one place for as long as the cloud remained on the Tabernacle.
Very well done. I never thought about the Torah in terms of haiku. I live in Mexico but I lived in Waukegan for many years and have been to Long Grove many times.
Shalom
