	Abraham Joshua Heschel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heschel was a descendant of preeminent rabbinic families of Europe, both on his father's (Moshe Mordechai Heschel, who died of influenza in 1916) and mother's (Reizel Perlow Heschel) side, and a descendant of the rebbes of Apta and other dynasties.
		Heschel saw the teachings of the Hebrew prophets as a clarion call for social action in the United States, but his social activism was at the time dismissed as unimportant by most JTS faculty.
		Heschel then goes to explore the problems of doubts and faith; what Judaism means by teaching that God is one; the essence of man and the problem of man's needs; the definition of religion in general and of Judaism in particular; and man's yearning for spirituality.

	l e a r n @ j t s READING OPPORTUNITIES Conservative Judaism Chap 5 Part 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Heschel left Poland shortly before World War 11 to accept a teaching position in Cincinnati, but he was obviously out of place in that bastion of Reform Judaism, and six years later he moved to New York to become Professor of Ethics and Mysticism at the Seminary; where he taught until his death.
		Heschel was isolated because he was basically a Hasid in a faculty that looked askance at his style of being Jewish, a generalist in a faculty of specialists, a philosopher and theologian in a school that shunned the hard work of modern philosophy and theology.
		Where Heschel did have a decisive impact was on the education of a small group of Seminary students, many of them now occupying major academic and rabbinic positions in the community, and his influence on their lives was far from merely academic.

	Nextbook: Alone in Berlin
		Heschel embodied many contradictions: he was a bearded Hasidic heir who marched alongside Martin Luther King; a neo-Romantic existentialist; and a mystic in the rationalistic halls of New York's Jewish Theological Seminary.
		(Heschel denied being influenced by Rilke, but the similarities of theme and form are unmistakable.) Ultimately, though, the most important influence is surely that of Hasidism, which well before the 1960s—or, for that matter, the 1930s—stressed the emotional and non-rational aspects of religious devotion, and asserted that God is everywhere, in everything, and in everyone.
		Heschel once wrote that "we are able to look at the world with two faculties—with reason and with wonder." If so, it is poetry which best captures the latter, for poetry evokes in its cadence and its form the emotion which lies behind its words.

	Heschel West : Campus
		Heschel West proposes to improve the Driver/Canwood/Chesebro intersection with left turn pockets increasing the intersection's traffic capacity far beyond the minimal number of trips Heschel West contributes.
		In other words, because Heschel does not contribute more than 12 cars to the evening peak hour, but is improving the intersection for the morning peak, the effect is to make the intersection work better than current conditions for the evening peak.
		Heschel West's entrance road is located at an elevation substantially higher than the nearest residences and also higher than the freeway.

		Abraham Joshua Heschel, born in 1907, was descended from a distinguished line of rabbis, including Dov Baer of Mezhirich, Abraham Joshua Heschel of Apt, and Levi Isaac of Berdichev.
		Heschel's hasidic background taught him the importance of human experience as a component of religion, especially the sense of awe and wonder with which a person approaches God's presence in his/her life.
		Heschel was deeply moved by the prophetic imperative for social justice, which he took as a central Jewish obligation.

		Although one could ascribe a variety of motives to his mother’s nonconformist act, Heschel himself saw it as her belief that he was destined to play a role in his adult life other than that of a traditional hasidic rebbe.
		For Heschel, though, it was a vehicle for bringing the spiritual riches of the tradition into a new Jewish milieu, showing that traditional Judaism could not and should not be surpassed by Jewish modernity.
		Heschel’s Vilna sojourn enabled him to move from a basically medieval Jewish milieu to a modern Jewish one before moving on to a world in which he would have contacts with assimilated Jews—and with non - Jews.

		Heschel was a descendant of preeminent rabbinic families of Europe, both on his father's and mother's side.
		Like the early founders of Conservative Judaism, Heschel did not consider himself to be a member of any particular Jewish denomination; rather, he held that the beliefs and practices of him and his peers at JTS were mainstream historic Judaism.

		Heschel's concept of divine pathos, a category central to his theology, is mirrored in King's understanding of the nature of God's involvement with humanity.
		Heschel, for example, was particularly touched during the march from Selma to Montgomery by King's references to the Exodus in his sermon, describing three types among the Israelites who left Egypt and he viewed King's choice of the Exodus over Jesus as a significant moment in Christian-Jewish relations.
		Heschel flew to Selma from New York on Saturday night and was welcomed as one of the leaders into the front row of marchers, with King, Ralph Bunche, and Ralph Abernathy.

		Heschel made his impact by the wholeness of his person, by his passion for social justice, by his scholarship in the Jewish tradition, and by his religious thinking on the human situation.
		Heschel's fulfilled desire to be connected with such diverse constituencies is reflected in the fact that over thirty national organizations, Jewish and otherwise, sponsored the sheloshim in his honor.
		Heschel discovered two internally consistent schools of thought which he organized under the rubrics of the school of Rabbi Ishmael and the school of Rabbi Akiba, both of which, he claimed, became formative for subsequent Jewish intellectual history.

		Rabbi Heschel was born into a Hasidic dynasty and spent his early years completely immersed in the texts, thought, and rhythms of traditional Eastern European Hasidic life.
		The years spent at Heschel are a voyage of discovery during which students learn to seek, to question and to think for themselves while, at the same time, developing a genuine passion for learning.

		...Heschel later claimed that during his sojourn in the gymnasium and among the writers and artists of Vilna, he discovered "many secularist Jews who lived the life of saints and did not know it...

		Heschel explained that many well known theologians of the period began reacting against works by Jewish theologians that compared Jesus' faith to that of the emerging Reformed Synagogues and the Pharisees of the New Testament.
		Heschel explained that this view of Jesus as Aryan became necessary because of the way Germans of that time period understood racism.
		This movement was brought to a halt in 1945 with the end of World War II, but Heschel concluded her presentation by pointing out the ramifications of this movement for post-war Germany.

		Clearly, to Heschel, the Ba’al Shem held a key to that sanctuary, for in those same years he made plans to write a comprehensive book on the life and thought of the founder of Hasidism.
		Heschel had left his entire collection of notes and insights on the Ba’al Shem with the volumes he was studying in the rare books collection.

		What Heschel did was to break their monopoly, by showing that it is possible to be both biblical and rational at the same time.
		Heschel’s answer to that question is full of psychological insight: we do not have to wait for the right motive in order to do a good deed.
		Heschel’s mission was thus comparable to that of the prophets themselves: to open our eyes, not just for the sake of seeing, but to soften our hearts.

		Throughout, Heschel avoids the two great temptations in any discussion of prophesy: overstating the supernatural quality of a prophet's epiphany ("A prophet is a person, not a microphone"), and reducing prophesy to a merely human phenomenon.
		Instead, Heschel describes the prophet's peculiar status as God's spokesman in a way that does justice to its complexity: "He speaks from the perspective of God as perceived from the perspective of his own situation." --Michael Joseph Gross --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

		Rosenzweig and Heschel clearly reject the two polar understandings of revelation as articulated by the traditionalists on one hand and the naturalists on the other.
		Heschel describes the experience, he does not account for it because it is in essence beyond human accountability.
		P. That Heschel's theology of revelation can be interpreted by Elliot Dorff to be representative of Conservative I and by me to be representative of Dorff's Conservative III is testimony to Heschel's lack of clarity on the issue.
