No full post tonight, but a commonplace book note to myself:
“The most profound aspect of the Kotsker [sic] Rebbe’s path was a striving for spiritual freedom. Spiritual freedom means: flattering no one, neither oneself nor the world; not being subservient to anyone, neither to the self nor to society.” Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, quoted in Rabbi Michael Rosen, The Quest for Authenticity: The Thought of Reb Simhah Bunim p.166
I need to remember that more often.

I like that.

It’s good, I think.
You would like Rabbi Heschel, he was very much a social justice person, very involved in the Civil Rights and anti-war movements.
