Wednesday, April 28, 2021 | 4:00-5:00 p.m.

A mentor to the Civil Rights Movement, a champion for Soviet Jews, and a pioneer in the work of interfaith dialogue, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most remarkable and inspiring figures of the American 20th Century. Spiritual Audacity: The Abraham Joshua Heschel Story is the first full-length documentary on this important figure.

In anticipation of the PBS film debut in May, ICJS invites you to a discussion of the life and legacy of Rabbi Heschel with two experts who appear in the documentary: Taylor Branch, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and ICJS Emeritus Trustee; and Ben Sax, ICJS Jewish Scholar.
