This year is the centenary of the birth of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, the Polish Chassid who’s spiritually rooted social action have had a deep effect on Jewish and Christian thought and action. Rabbi Heschel, who was a friend and coworker of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., taught that the prophets spoke of human suffering as God's own suffering, prayer as the "song the universe sings to itself" and that political activism is prayer. In this course, we will study how Rabbi Heschel grounded his political action in the Spirit and in the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov, insisting that prayer address the God who suffers when human beings suffer. Professor Susannah Heschel, Rabbi Heschel's daughter and editor of a collection of his finest essays, will join the course as a visiting teacher.

Bursting with sun-drenched melodies, ALO’s latest covers a wide range of musical territory; from the reggae-tinged “Try” to the Ukulele-led funk workout “Plastic Bubble.” Over the past two years, ALO have greatly expanded their fan base via constant touring and phenomenal word-of-mouth. Even Dave Matthews took notice of the funky foursome last year—asking the band to open up for DMB for several shows, including a special cruise ship concert. In addition, ALO toured Europe for the first time in 2006 with labelmate Jack Johnson.
