Pesach Approaches Yerushalayim

Raging fire consumes chometz

Outdoors

Smoke envelops holy spaces

Teeming with Chassidim

Bedecked in festive regalia

Including shtreimels

The same fire rages indoors

Baking matzos mitzva

Hallel fills their perforation

Now is the time

For Korban Pesach

Chometz metamorphoses

Into Matza

All it takes is fire

The furnace of Avraham

Chag Kasher v’Sameach
