Jack Reimer told of being in
Abraham Joshua Heschel’s class. Heschel would
walk into the room, look out the window at the sky and say, “Gentlemen, something
wondrous happened last night. Did you
see it? Did you notice? The sun set.”
“And we would look at each
other with embarrassment, for we had seen it but not really, until he called it
to our attention. We had seen it, but
not noticed.”
