In loving memory of my dear cousin, Uri Nissan Gurary OB"M, who passed away when he was just 20 years old. Uri was a true gem, who always greeted everyone with a cheerful smile. Uri loved his family and he loved to learn. May the Torah learning through these poems and toys be an elevation for his precious soul. May we merit the coming of Moshiach when we will be reunited with Uri.

Parshat Shelach 2
Challah
Seven ingredients the Challah does contain,
Representing seven Spiritual blessings for us to gain.
In abundance WATER does flow,
May Hashem shower us with kindness wherever we go.
SUGAR is the faith that Hashem doesn't rest,
May life become sweeter, knowing that everything is for the best.
YEAST (שמרים) and protect (שמר) have the same Hebrew letters as you can see,
May Hashem protect and watch over you and me.
SALT represents discipline, we need a little of that too,
May we choose right from wrong in everything we do.
An EGG represents great potential within,
May our talents "hatch" and not remain hidden.
OIL from crushed olives always rises to the top,
May challenges and obstacles not make us stop.
FLOUR represents the sustenance that Hashem does give,
May we be blessed with everything we need so that a meaningful life we can live!
