Imagining Heschel
Selections from a play

The play is about Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the 20th century’s greatest theologians and activist leaders.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The play also shows the critical changes leading to a new relationship between the Vatican and the Jewish people in light of the Holocaust.

IMAGINING HESCHEL is impressionistic and incisive in how it raises relevant concerns of faith in contrast to activism — whether racism and anti-Semitism will ever end and whether power held by the few will continue to oppress those considered to be the “other." As Jason Maina, who plays the character Jonah, put it: "I am in this play because theatre is another way to protest and this is what the Civil Rights Movement meant - love, universality, crossing borders, and fighting the ideas of racism.”
