This book should not have been written. The Kotzker Rebbe burned his books, and in the last years of his life remained a recluse, cloistered away from his students. But Abraham Joshua Heschel, one of the leading Jewish philosophers of the 20th century, could not keep from writing. The encounter with the thought of Rebbe Menachem Mendel changed his life, and in Kotzk ¿ appearing in Hebrew for the first time ¿ Heschel seeks to change the lives of his readers.
