The most dramatic ex- pression of his growing interest and appreciation of Judaism as a source of reli- gious insight and inspira- tion became manifest in his study of several books on the philosophy of Judaism by the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, with whom he developed a personal friendship. From the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, in 1973, Pope Paul quoted from the texts of Rabbi Heschel's ORDER NOW 1979 OLDS lease or buy Also Leasing All Other 1.979 Makes and Models Call Dave Madison Jack Cherney 354-3300 GLASSMAN LEASING INC.
