Encouragement2 - The Monday Morning Memo

“I have always seen him (Abraham Heschel) as a kind of intellectual father. And whenever I get a little down or depressed, I go get one of his books and I read the prophet Isaiah and what he has to say about Isaiah. Because Isaiah was written at a time of the desolation of Israel, and yet it’s the loftiest vision of dreams for humankind. It’s people’s ability to have faith in the midst of persecution and destruction that black Americans tapped into. And if you notice Martin Luther King’s speeches, he quotes from the prophets more than almost anybody else. And he got a lot of those insights from his study of Rabbi Heschel.”
