ta'anit 24

the girls who are examined, peered at, denied a dowry , and are turned to dust

ta'anit 23

the powerful prayers from those who can bring rain, wealth, turn ugly to beauty...
but they end up alone

ta'anit 22

looking down from a high cliff, who can tell who has their place in the next world.

ta'anit 21

unassuming individuals who hold back destruction and plagues

even if they have no limbs or strength

ta'anit 20

walls may crumble and sun may get stuck
but the reeds will only bend and never break


ta'anit 19

be careful what you ask the circle-man to pray for

you might get answered

ta'anit 18

 she said to cry in the streets about our basic shared humanity. our common blood....

...but the enemies' thumbs are cut off in celebration

and the rain falls on everyone
