Palin Tries to Join the Mishpachah
In my travels with Christian Zionists, I’ve met plenty who wear Stars of David—and more, including wearing yarmulkes and tallit, purchasing Judaica like mezuzot and challah covers, referring to Jesus by his Hebrew name, Yeshuah Ha’Masiach, keeping Shabbat, having Bar Mitzvahs for their kids, rejecting the celebration of Christmas and Easter, and referring to themselves as “Hebraic Christians.” Many, including Christians United for Israel founder John Hagee, twist the sequence of Jewish holidays, from Passover in the spring through Sukkot in the fall, into their prism of biblical prophecy, insisting that each “feast,” as he calls it, foretells steps leading to the Second Coming.
