haiku


even a servant
tries to hold her dignity
hides away her tears

No tears? If only.
Tears of Sarah's servant girl.
They're killing us still.

according to the ramban, yes.

i was talking of a different context; that haiku goes with this post: http://rabbifleischmann.blogspot.com/2011/11/as-today-is-about-to-start-i-still-hold.html.

Yes, I see the context. I was just riffing.

I sometimes have the improper thought, when we read these parshios, and Hashem saves Yishmael: "Well, thanks alot. That really worked out well." Of course it's wrong, but it just pops up in my brain, given the hatred we suffer today from his awful descendants, who are all the angel promised and worse.
