Note: Due to the film being a work-in-progress, our policy is for the filmmaker to be present at screenings (this can also be done via Skype or FaceTime) and to facilitate a free-wheeling question and answer session following the screening, in which we would discuss the film and Rabbi Heschel.
Steve can also incorporate three or four excerpts from the film into a 60-minute talk in which he would introduce individual clips, show them and then discuss the issues raised, thus providing deeper context.
Some examples of topics:
-
Heschel on Faith After the Holocaust
-
Heschel’s Theology of Wonder, Awe & Radical Amazement
- Heschel’s Role in Civil Rights and his Relationship with Martin Luther King
-
Heschel’s Opposition to the Vietnam War and its Personal Toll on Him
- Heschel’s Religious Thought as Both Universalist and Particularist
-
Heschel’s Message for Jews
