Abstract

Born in Warsaw, raised in a Hasidic community, and reaching maturity in secular Jewish Vilna and cosmopolitan Berlin, Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) escaped Nazism and immigrated to the United States in 1940. This lively and readable book tells the comprehensive story of his life and work in America, his politics and personality, and how he came to influence not only Jewish debate but also wider religious and cultural debates in the postwar decades. A worthy sequel to his widely praised biography of Heschel's early years, Edward Kaplan's new volume draws on previously unseen archives, FBI files, interviews with people who knew Heschel, and analyses of his extensive writings. Kaplan explores Heschel's shy and private side, his spiritual radicalism, and his vehement defense of the Hebrew prophets' ideal of absolute integrity and truth in ethical and political life. Of special interest are Heschel's interfaith activities, including a secret meeting with Pope Paul VI during Vatican II, his commitment to civil rights with Martin Luther King, Jr., his views on the state of Israel, and his opposition to the Vietnam War. A tireless challenger to spiritual and religious complacency, Heschel stands as a dramatically important witness.

Abstract

Professeur, rabbin, théologien, activiste, Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) devint célèbre dans le mouvement des droits civils, aux côtés de Martin Luther King Jr. et dans l'opposition religieuse à la guerre du Vietnam. Élevé dans une communauté hassidique à Varsovie, diplômé d'un lycée laïc yiddish à Vilna, il soutint un doctorat en philosophie à l'Université de Berlin pendant l'ascension d'Hitler. Lors de son immigration aux États-Unis en 1940, s'inspirant de la Bible, du Talmud, du hassidisme, de la Kabbale et de la philosophie moderne, il critiqua les tendances superficielles du judaïsme, libéral ou orthodoxe. Il représenta le judaïsme au Concile Vatican II. Toute son œuvre exalte la sainteté de la vie humaine par le moyen de la prière, le dialogue – et l'action sociale.
