Moment MagazineToday marks the 50th Yahrzeit of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a spiritual and moral leader to American Jews during the civil rights movement. Years ago, we profiled Susannah Heschel, speaking about the continued influence of her father, and her own spiritual activism. https://momentmag.com/susannah-heschel/

Jewish conversationsHow do you find the bookreading community here? Is this a friendlier forum than Twitter? Lately I've been reading articles and book chapters of interest over complete books, which I supposed might seem unusual. (I get into group discussions, and look for sources and info related to the topics.)
my book interests are #sciencefiction #Judaica #Bible #philosophy #Heschel #vegetarian and #pescetarian #cookbooks, and #nonfiction books on modern society & #socialissues
This Abraham Joshua Heschel quote is from "God In Search of Man: A Philosophy of Judaism"
God in Search of Man
Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of the 20th century, and God in Search of Man and its companion volume, Man Is Not Alone, two of his most important books, are classics of modern Jewish theology. God in Search of Man combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence, and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man's search for God but God's for man--the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought, and how that thought becomes faith.
Abraham Joshua Heschel -
To maintain that the essence of Judaism consists exclusively of halacha is as erroneous as to maintain that the essence of Judaism consists exclusively of agada.
The interrelationship of halacha and agada is the very heart of Judaism.
Halacha represents the strength to shape one's life according to a fixed pattern; it is a form-giving force. Agada is the expression of man's ceaseless striving which often defies all limitations.
I'm reading more chassidus these days. Why? I appreciate academic studies of Judaism. But when I read non-Orthodox #Torah commentary I usually only learn facts. In most cases, the authors do little to encourage one's Avodat Hashem or Yirat Shamayim, spiritual values which are the essence of a living faith. (There are exceptions, obviously, A. J. #Heschel, #ShaiHeld, etc.)

Do we wait for moments of spirituality, or do we work to infuse spirituality into our daily lives? Rabbi Reuven Hammer writes (click for quote)
Sergeant CatThis book seems to be really derivative.
Chapter 1 seemed to be a rehash of #Heschel's "The #Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man", a classic book on Jewish #Shabbat that I've also read.
He doesn't really provide anything new to the conversation about personal observance of the Sabbath, except that he puts it in terms that someone unfamiliar with Judaism can understand and says that you could observe a Sabbath at any time and while doing things that you find personally meaningful.
Find things that are meaningful to you and dwell on them in a meditative way is how I would sum this up so far, and there's nothing wrong with that I suppose, but the way the author presents it as if he's telling us something new and original, when it's not. He's, so far, simply borrowing from #Christianity, #Judaism, and #Buddhism.
