HESCHEL'S SIGNIFICANCE
41. The entire section dealing with Vatican II has been greatly abbreviated from the
original text for the purposes of this article.
42. On February 23, 1983, at a one-day symposium held at the Jewish Theological
Seminary in memory of Heschel, Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, who had worked closely with
Heschel throughout the council, presented a paper on Heschel and Vatican II. I am deeply
indebted to Rabbi Tanenbaum for giving me a copy of his paper and permitting me to use it.

at the Memorial Symposium in honor of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. The following
material on Heschel and Vatican II is taken largely from this paper, especially pp. 15,16,17,
and 21.
