Far too often, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel is used to justify an attitude he never held: complacency.
Whenever there is a civil rights anniversary or friction in white Jewish and Black relations, Heschel, a leading rabbinical luminary in the mid-century, is the go-to stand-in for the entire Jewish community. His march through Selma with Martin Luther King, where the rabbi said his “legs were praying,” was somehow millipedal, carrying much more than his own two feet. You’d think he walked for all Jews past and present and was proof enough that the community was on the right side of history.

United States (International Christian Concern) – National leaders gathered in Washington, D.C. this morning for the annual National Prayer Breakfast, taking a moment to set aside partisanship and join together in prayer for the country. President Biden called for people to turn to faith in these times of division and delivered strong words for unity, a theme that he has made central in his presidency. The prayer breakfast did not fall short in bringing people together. Focused on humility and prayer, the breakfast is a tradition that celebrates one of the greatest foundational values of the United States – faith and freedom of religion.
