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.
