In his book The Prophets (1962), Abraham Joshua Heschel sought to resurrect before us the prophetic experience. In this lesson we will read his commentary on the book of Jeremiah in order to meet the prophet who cries at the destruction of Jerusalem. For him, it was not just a national or religious destruction; he cried out for God’s pain.
