Sobre este artículo
Portland, Institute For Judaic Studies, 1985. Hardcover. Later red boards. 8vo. Vi, 104 pages; 22 cm. A collection of several essays by various authors on Abraham Joshua Heschel from a conference on his life. Abraham Joshua Heschel "was a Polish-born American rabbi and one of the leading Jewish theologians and Jewish philosophers of the 20th century. Heschel, a professor of Jewish mysticism at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, authored a number of widely read books on Jewish philosophy and was active in the Civil Rights Movement" (Wikipedia 2017) . Susannah Heschel "is an American scholar, public intellectual, and professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College...Her scholarship focuses on Jewish and Christian interactions in Germany during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries" (Wikipedia 2017) . Samuel Dresner "was a prominent scholar of Hasidism and the author of numerous books, including Heschel, Hasidism, and Halakha" (myjewishlearning.com 2017) . Pinchas Peli "was an Israeli modern Orthodox rabbi, essayist, poet and scholar of Judaism and Jewish philosophy" (Wikipedia 2017) . Joshua Stampfer is a rabbi who served most of his career as the rabbi of Congregation Neveh Shalom in Portland Oregon. "Although he was a professor of mystical thought at the Jewish Theological Seminary for many years, he did not live a cloistered existence, sheltered from the problem and battles of life. He threw himself into the struggle for human rights in every arena. When Martin Luther King embarked upon his historic battle for civil rights for American Blacks, Heschel was at his side. When the American involvement in Viet Nam turned into a full scale war that led thoughtful millions of Americans to question its morality and legitimacy, it was Heschel who took the lead in his clarion call for ethical ideals above perceived national advantages. When the Roman Catholic church undertook to re-examine the age-old foundations of its anti-Jewish stance during the Vatican Council, it was Heschel who came to Rome to speak out on behalf of justice and reconciliation.
