Copy of tweet here: 1/ Heschel's 'Sabbath', ("the primary text for all subsequent US Jewish spirituality" - Kushner) introduced the radical idea of an 'architecture of holiness', not in space and the material things which fill it, but in time and the eternity which imbues it.
@jbralston end/ As for the planetary catholicity of God's coming and arrival, Heschel proffers a Judaic perspective on time itself as the transcendent realm through which concrete political reality is ultimately yoked to the redemption of the future from the power of history. God's Day.
