Our text for the class is: I Asked For Wonder: A Spiritual Anthology (of the writings of Abraham Joshua Heschel) edited by Samuel H. Dresner.

"We can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn or scoff at the totality of being. Supreme grandeur evokes unhesitating, unflinching awe. Away from the immense, cloistered in our own concepts, we may scorn and revile everything. But standing between earth and sky, we are silenced by the sight."

ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL was one of the great spiritual teachers of the 20th century. A theologian, poet, mystic, and historian, he captured the sense of mystical wonder in a way few writers can do. This anthology, edited by Rabbi Samuel H. Dresner, presents the finest meditations and insights from across the spectrum of Heschel's bountiful writing. The many rich themes include God, Prayer, Humanity, Sabbath, Religion, Mystical Awe, Life and Death, Bible, Obedience, and the Divine.
