An engaging concert film shot at Lincoln Center, featuring musician Basya Schechter (of Pharaoh’s Daughter) adapting ten of Rabbi Heschel’s poems into song. Abraham Joshua Heschel’s immense influence as a social critic has tended to overshadow the eloquence of his writing. Though written when he was just twenty-one, the poems express themes Heschel explored throughout his life: the mystery of the Divine, a passion for truth and his solidarity with the marginalized.
