Ask for Wonder: Exploring the Thought of Abraham Joshua Heschel — Class 4

By
Rabbi Morris Panitz

Heschel’s writing is filled with the kind of poetic brilliance that makes him highly quotable. But, beyond the short quotes is a nuanced and daring vision of spirituality, activism, and our place in this world that deserves our greater attention. Come spend an hour each week diving into selected writings from Abraham Joshua Heschel, guided by R’ Morris Panitz. And, since it’s on Tuesdays, you could say this is Tuesdays with (rabbi) Morrie.
