Description:
Chosen by God, saved by Jesus, Messianic Jews identify themselves as both Christian and Jewish while breaking away to form a new community of their own. Passing Over Easter brings this complex movement to life with an ethnographic look at Adat haRuach, a Messianic Jewish congregation in Southern California. The ethnic Jews who have "found the Lord", the Gentiles with a "heart for Israel" that make up Adat haRuach negotiate their identity borrowing from both traditions. For the congregants Yshua (the Hebrew name they use for Jesus) is the Jewish Messiah, the Passover matzoh is symbolic of Yshua's body, the New Testament is a fulfillment of the Old. Through participant observation, in-depth interviews and reflections on her own beliefs and role as researcher, Feher paints a fascinating picture of this dynamic religious group.
