Dr. Dror Bondi, an Israeli thinker and the Hebrew translator of Abraham Joshua Heschel's work, will celebrate Heschel's 50th Yarzeit by speaking about his revival and relevance today.
Abraham Joshua Heschel, the great Jewish-American thinker and activist, died 50 years ago this year and his life and thoughts continue to inspire the world. His words are quoted time and again by presidents Obama and Biden, as well as Jewish leaders around the world, including the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.
Dr. Bondi is an author, translator and editor of several of Heschel's books and has dedicated the last 15 years to bring Abraham Joshua Heschel's thoughts to Israel. In 2012 he translated and edited the first Hebrew collection of Heschel’s articles. His own book Ayeca? about Heschel thought earned him the Shalem Prize 2006.
Dr. Bondi is a research fellow at Hartman Institute has a doctorate in Jewish Thought from Bar-Ilan University. He is a fascinating lecturer.
