Abraham Joshua Heschel
" Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. "

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel
" The issue of prayer is not prayer; the issue of prayer is God. "

Abraham Joshua Heschel
" The road to the sacred leads through the secular. "

Abraham Joshua Heschel
