So, I have a question for anyone who knows a little bit about Hebrew. I've seen many who know the Hebrew language pretty well still using the name Yahweh even though there is no letter "W" in the Hebrew language. And upon further investigation I discovered that it is believed that the "waw" in ancient Hebrew was changed to the vav. I do not know this for certain, but I do know for sure it isn't in modern Hebrew, and I'd learned bits and pieces of ancient Hebrew and never heard of the "waw". Part of my issue with this is even though certain people believe there was a letter W in the Hebrew, they also incorporate the vav in ancient Hebrew as well. It's just very inconsistent to use the letter W only for God's name, but not for anything else, especially if they believe that the letter W was changed to the vav in modern Hebrew, so the vav would have been the letter W in ancient Hebrew, but when reading ancient Hebrew there is no W, but a vav. It's confusing and frustrating. Hopefully someone coming across this will have some answers. Thank you so much if you read this to the end lol???
One obstacle in building healthy relationships between Jews and Christians is the relative ignorance each has of the other. That’s something David Nekrutman talks about in this second part of our four-part conversation. He begins by addressing the many Judaisms of the First Century which shaped the environment in which Yeshua of Nazareth lived – a subject that most Christians don’t understand, but which would greatly enhance their faith as they learn the historical and cultural context of the Gospels. David then goes on to describe the difference between Christian-Jewish relations and Christian support for Israel. Are they two different things, or two interrelated parts of the same interfaith dynamic?
There is something prophetic about the growth of Jewish-Christian dialogue in recent years. Barry Phillips and David Jones touch on that in their midrash, “Sign of His Coming.” We hear other aspects of it in the music of Laura Metzing and Rut Banks.
