PizzaPizza, what is your point, exactly? Also, I don’t understand your question. He didn’t fit in at HUC either and didn’t agree with the hashkafa (if you could call it that) of the school. I don’t understand your other comment, either. Saul Lieberman and Louis Finkelstein were Litvaks (certainly not kofrim) and Heschel was a chossid. They ran the place and Heschel was the odd man out. Are you disputing that?
rationalfrummie, you don’t seem to know anything about Heschel’s influence at JTS. He had none. He was an outsider–a chossid in a misnagdishe rationalist institution. Never made it to full professor. He didn’t have the power to change the place. They resented him because they were doing academic scholarship and failed to have a global influence, whereas he wrote about God and succeeded. But internally at JTS? He was a nobody.
Sagacious, do you even appreciate what it meant to wear a kippah on national TV in 1972? Also, I would go to youtube to watch the interview you are referring to–I’m not so sure you are remembering correctly (that R Heschel kippah fell off and no one picked it up). Maybe he didn’t feel it fall off. How do you really know? As for the “isms”–you clearly have not read any of R Heschel’s books. If you had, how you can say he was influenced by “secularism”–that is just false and mind boggling. He would be horrified to be associated with secularism. He fought against it with every fiber of his being. And activism and humanism–you think rescuing Soviet Jewry and equal rights for minorities are bad things?

This is not Rav Elyashiv’s psak. Just the opposite. In the article below from 2001 he called it a “maaseh laytzonus”!
