Rabbi Heschel's Papers
To Be Archived At Duke
•
Duke University will acquire the
papers of Rabbi Abraham Joshua
Heschel, a scholar, writer and theolo-
gian who is widely recognized as one
of the most influential religious lead-
ers of the 20th century.
Heschel was a
highly visible and
charismatic leader
in the civil rights
and anti-Vietnam
War movements. He
co-founded Clergy
Concerned About
Rabbi Heschel
Vietnam and served
as a Jewish liaison
with the Vatican during the Second
Vatican Council.
The collection consists of manu-
scripts, correspondence, publications,
documents and photographs spanning
five decades and at least four languag-
es. Included are correspondence with
some of the leading religious figures
of his time, including Martin Buber,
Thomas Merton, Eugen Rosenstock-
Huessy and Reinhold Niebuhr.
Born in 1907 in Poland, Heschel was
descended from a long line of distin-
guished rabbis. Heschel believed that
prayer and study could not be sepa-
rated from public action. He famously
marched side-by-side with the Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Ala.,
and is credited with coining the civil
rights slogan, "We pray with our legs."
