Abraham Heschel
(1907-1972)

Rabbi, scholar, and author who saw all created reality with "radical amazement".

"The sublime is that which we see and are unable to convey. It is the silent allusion of things to a meaning greater than themselves. It is that which all things ultimately stand for." Between God and Man

"There is unique kind of transparence about things and events. The world is seen through, and no veil can conceal God completely." God in Search of Man

"Awareness of the divine begins with wonder." God in Search of Man

"What is, is more than what you see: what is, is 'far off and deep, exceedingly deep." Being is mysterious." God in Search of Man

"For just as man is endowed with the ability to know certain aspeects of reality, he is endowed with the ability to know that there is more than what he knows." Man Is Not Alone

"The world in its grandeur is full of a spiritual radiance, for which we have neither name nor concept." Man Is Not Alone
