Although Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) is well-known today—as a philosopher, a Jewish theologian and a social activist—Heschel the poet is not. The 66 precious poems of Der Shem Ham’forash—Mentch, published in Warsaw in 1933, remained close to Heschel’s heart all of his life, and are now available in a new translation by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
