Reference to Heschel
Speaking to Young People in Stern Interview
Eisen refers to Heschel's hopeful message to young people in his 1972
interview with Carl Stern as an example of Heschel's perspective that
he tries to echo with today's youth.
A clip of this archival audio is
included at the end of the program:
I would say to young
people a number of things, and I have only one minute. I would say let
them remember that there is a meaning beyond absurdity. Let them be
sure that every little deed counts, that every word has power, and
that we can do, everyone, our share to redeem the world, in spite of
all absurdities, and all the frustrations, and all the disappointment.
And above all, remember that the meaning of life is to build life as
if it were a work of art. You're not a machine. When you're young,
start working on this great work of art called your own existence.
