Description
The greatness of human beings, says Heschel, is that we have problems. In fact, he would honor a person by “how many deep problems” she or he has.
“Life is a challenge, not just satisfaction.”
Join Dr. Viginia Shabatay and your Oasis peers to explore, contemplate and discuss the wisdom of Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the most beloved Jewish thinkers of the modern era. We’ll look at the spiritual and moral “problems” Heschel saw in life and how the voices of the biblical prophets shaped his powerful call to compassion and justice.
No prior background is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to think deeply about what gives life purpose and moral clarity. Sharing your reflections and personal insights about the topic will be encouraged.
