  1. Today 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. momentmag.com/susannah-heschel

  2. 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.)
