Abraham Joshua Heschel is one of the most important Jewish thinkers of the last 100 years. In this course, we will examine how Heschel applied the writings of the Hebrew prophets to contemporary issues, as well as his insights into the Bible, prayer, Rabbinic thought, Hasidism, and the Holocaust.
Award-winning author, translator and editor Dr. Dror Bondi has dedicated the last 20 years to bringing Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s thoughts to Israel. He has a doctorate in Jewish Thought from Bar-Ilan University. He lives with his family in Jerusalem, in Urban-Kibbutz Beit Yisrael, a community of religious and non-religious dedicated to social and spiritual activism.
