Abraham Joshua Heschel: Man of Spirit, Man of Action Review
A young adult biography of one of the most influential figures in modern Judaism
Abraham Joshua Heschel – theologian, teacher, author, beloved rabbi, civil rights activist, and modern prophet of social conscience – was one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century.
Perhaps best known by most Americans for his headline-making participation in the 1965 Selma, Alabama march alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Heschel was also an extraordinary Jewish educator and the author of nearly two dozen books. He inspired millions of Jews and non-Jews alike throughout the world with his writings and his campaigns for social causes.
