Abstract This essay examines the fundamental question of Jewish existence and spiritual purpose through philosophical and theological analysis. Heschel employs a hermeneutical methodology, drawing upon classical Jewish texts, Talmudic sources, and prophetic literature to explore the dual nature of human existence within natural and spiritual domains. The study investigates the concept of *pikuach neshama* (saving the soul) as a framework for understanding Jewish spiritual obligation and collective responsibility. Through comparative analysis of historical examples, including prophetic critiques of materialism and observations of contemporary moral failures, Heschel demonstrates that Jewish existence transcends mere survival to constitute a spiritual mission. The research reveals that Jewish identity encompasses both individual soul (*neshama*) and collective spirit, sustained through historical memory, ritual practice (*mitzvot*), and commitment to holiness (*kedushah*). Key findings indicate that Jewish continuity depends not on passive preservation but active spiritual engagement that transforms ordinary actions into sacred acts. The analysis concludes that Jewish existence serves as a paradigm for humanity's spiritual potential, with Jews bearing responsibility for maintaining divine presence (*Shekhinah*) in the world. Heschel argues that this mission becomes particularly urgent in the post-Holocaust era, where Jewish survival represents humanity's capacity for spiritual renewal and moral restoration.
