Celebrating Heschel

JTS hosts an online platform dedicated to preserving and sharing the profound legacy of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who taught at JTS for 27 years. The immersive website provides a curated collection of materials from Heschel’s work, along with heartfelt testimonials from individuals influenced by his teachings. 

Among the 50 testimonials currently included on the platform are Orly Erez Likhovski, director of The Israel Religious Action Center; Rabbi David Wolpe, former rabbi of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, California; and Rabbi Rolando Matalon of B’nai Jeshurun in New York. Other highlights include performers Yoni Oppenheim and Matan Daskal reflecting on how Heschel inspired their artistic works.
