Wonderful book for kids

+ Bringing a Hero to a New Generation

I've always loved Heschel's writings and all that I knew of his life, but never thought any of it could be expressed in a form that kids could get. Or Rose did it! When I heard about this book, I was excited by the possibility of my daughters learning about Heschel. I read the book through. I ...

Insecurity of Freedom2 reviews
Abraham Heschel

Schocken, 1987

Perpetually Relevant

+ The Ol' Rabbi Still Bears Studying.

I found this book used. It is the best find I've made in years. The chapter on Good and Evil is incredibly compelling in our age of boundless evil. The chapter on youth is pitch perfect even 40 years after it was written.

Rabbi Abraham Heschel is an intellectual and prophetic hero of mine. Any one who would stand up to the pope and say 'I'd rather die than convert' (when trying to get the Roman Catholic Church to drop 'conversion of the Jews' as an official aim of the church) has the sort of integrity of belief and ...
  
  











  



  
Abraham Joshua Heschel & Elie Wiesel, You Are My Witnesses1 review
Maurice S. Friedman

Farrar Straus & Giroux (T), 1987

Two great Jewish thinkers interpreted

Friedman's interpretations of the thought of Heschel and Wiesel are done with reverence and consideration. They do not however in my view attain a depth of perception which would fully bring out the value of both of these great peoples' thought.
