Heschel’s Wonder-5/02/21

Preface

We have lost the power to pray because we have lost the sense of His reality. All we do is done through symbols. We live for tools, we think in signs. What we do is for the sake of something else. It is therefore important that we pay attention to the role and meaning of symbols. God is of no importance unless He is of supreme importance.
