I hope the Jews of Europe will not leave

I hope the Jews of Europe will not leave
As already of their kind we’ve been bereaved
Since I’ve read their Bible   ardently
I hope to hear that still, small voice in me.

Shakespeare and the Bible are  our greats
True literature for any appetite.
Non -believers can enjoy the psalms
At 4 am calm nightmarish alarms.

Or see the myths and metaphors  designed
To share the parables of  greater minds
We do have ancient Greeks who also taught.
The Hebrew Bible’s longer, dense and taut.

I would  like to see  the Burning Bush
Yet I fear I’d die in flames of love
