ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL (1907-1972) was a Polish-born American rabbi and one of the leading Jewish theologians and philosophers of the 20th century. He was a professor of Jewish ethics and mysticism at the Jewish Theological Seminary and authored a number of widely read books on Jewish thought.
Heschel is noted for his presentation of the prophetic and mystical aspects of Judaism and for his attempt to construct a modern philosophy of religion on the basis of the ancient and medieval Jewish tradition. He sought to evoke the inner depth of devotion and spontaneous response that he discerned in traditional Jewish piety, arguing that religious experience is a fundamentally human impulse, not just a Jewish one. He believed that no religious community could claim a monopoly on religious truth. Heschel also strongly emphasized social action as an expression of the ethical concern of the pious person and was at the forefront of protests in the 1960s and 1970s intended to secure civil rights for African American and end the war in Vietnam.
