Coming into Heritage
I never know what to do
During Holy Week.
Church?
Synagogue?
Jesus or Yeshua?
Israel, or Am Yisrael?
Ham, or bitter herbs?
New Testament or Torah?
Bata attan Yahweh
Eloheinu melech ha’olam
Or were you there
when they crucified my Lord?
Dayenu or Doxology?
Phylacteries or prayer shawl?
How to live Christian in an Jewish body?
How to name Christ with a Jewish name?
How to sing Hebrew to a Christian town?
How to Passover then Easter,
Hanukkah then Christmas?
How to be a Christian Jew of Jews, worshipping the Jewish Christ,
the Christian Messiah in
Holy Week of Passover and Resurrection?
Confusion of conflicted heritage.
