Dir. David Vinik 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.
