A machsom campaign
How would they
Indeed pertain
To someone else’s
Needs or pain?
Yet forever do we see
Written small
Ubiquitously
L’zechus a tzarah
L’zechus refuah
L’zechus kapparah
L’zechus yeshuah
And what’s amazing
No one says
“A zechus for me!”
Often times
The zechus is for
A stranger who
Is sick or poor
People who
We never met
Never saw them
Yet we get
Motivated
And inspired
All excited
Creative, fired!
Learning
Davening
Upgeret!
But you have seen
Nothing yet!
Blood drives
Bentchers
Shabbatons
Filters
Posters
Kosher phones!
Air conditioners
And more
Coolers sitting
On the floor!
All are sponsored
And donated
By tzaddikim
Unrelated
Seeking Divine
Intervention
For illness, death
Or for detention
It was last week
On Shavuos night
That I beheld
A unique sight
Took a break
To get some noshin’
There l’zechus
Sholom Rubashkin!
Stood some coffee
By the sink
Who? I ask would
Ever think
That any tiny
Move we make
Can be for someone
Else’s sake
I’m not sure
What works
Up there…
But all I know is
Yidden care…
