The Radical Audacity of Rabbi Heschel
Hosted By: Sousa Mendes Foundation
Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel fled Nazi Germany and became an authoritative voice not only in the Jewish community but in the religious life of America. His book, “The Prophets,” inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. to invite him to take a role in the Civil Rights Movement. Heschel was an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War, an advocate for Soviet Jewry, and a pioneer of interfaith dialogue. Join the filmmaker Martin Doblmeier and Heschel’s biographer Rabbi Shai Held for a film-and-discussion program moderated by Dr. Shulamit Reinharz.
