The Magical History Tour of Jewish Pittsburgh

On Sunday, May 6, thirty-two members and friends of Adat Shalom Congregation set out to discover the history of Jewish Pittsburgh. Our charming guide, local historian Nicholas Lane,took us for a fascinating afternoon tour of places significant to the settlers of Jewish Pittsburgh. We visited Troy Hill, Manchester, the Hill District, Oakland and Highland Park. If you missed it, you can read an article describing our tour, with photos of the highlights!

Abraham J. Heschel (1907- 1972)...

 

Heschel z.l. was one of the great Jewish thinkers of modern times and an inspirational voice in the religious life of our generation. On the occasion of his 100th anniversary, we reprint an article that appeared in The Jerusalem Post, by Reuven Hammer, titled "Abraham Joshua Heschel: A Practical Mystic" (please click).
