The two men met at that assemblage, and from then on, King embraced the Warsaw-born rabbi and writer as an ally in the civil rights movement, calling him one of the truly great men and a great prophet.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah and begin a new year, we again begin the cycle of holidays and rituals that are the rhythm of Jewish life. I think the brilliance of the Hebrew calendar was its ability to transform itself from an agricultural calendar tied to the seasons to one of both sacred space and sacred time.
