Such a Jew by Dr. Alan Altany

Bearing the ancient seed
    of Abraham, the thunder
                                of Moses, and the passion
    of David, such a Jew
                            bares open the perpetual
          marriage between G-d
                            and the whole of Israel.
          He’s a story-teller just like
                                the ancestors beyond sunset,
                              firing imaginations with
    untold eccentric hopes
    during long days of dust.
    A preacher of a love
                              beyond loving, a trust
                                  in a time of soulful trauma
      based upon a scarred
                                innocence and relentless
                                  wisdom, a very strange man
              by all account, and such a
    consuming Jew, this Yeshua.
