Reply To: Who is Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

sorry but no one seems to be answering my question. Many seem to allude to something being ‘off’ about this great man, but what was wrong exactly? i agree something seems off. not picking up a kippuh seems odd, but not forbidden. it’s not clear he didn’t care, perhaps he didn’t notice, i’m not going to discredit a man who is clearly a genius in Torah on the basis of a kippuh falling off. so when i say he is a great man i stand by it, his wisdom is evident. however was he ‘kosher’? i’m not necessarily looking to read his work, and i for sure wont as long as i’m in doubt about the man, i’m looking for someone to help me understand the daas Torah perspective, but i’d need a good strong legit reason to discredit someone from such a glorious Torah family with knowledge that i’m sure surpasses many of the great Torah scholars of today. falling kippuhs and long hair doesn’t stir me though.
