Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) was the first Ashkenazic chief
rabbi of mandatory Palestine. Admired for the incredible diversity
of his talents and interests--talmudist, halakhist, kabbalist,
mystic, theologian, moralist, poet, and communal leader--Rav Kook's
world outlook extolled breadth and derided narrow specialization.
More than any other Orthodox thinker in modern times, he addressed,
squarely and boldly, the confrontation between Judaism and the
modern world. Kook serves as a natural model to those Jews who seek
a religious understanding of and response to the culture and
politics of the modern age. These essays, most published here for
the first time, offer a range of analyses and interpretations
covering, in an accessible, systematic, and comprehensive fashion
the major areas of Rav Kook's thought. Among the issues discussed
are: his relationship to the Jewish mystical, philosophical, and
halakhic traditions; poetry and spirituality; harmonism and
pluralism; tolerance and its limits; Zionism, messianism, and
politics; and Rav Kook today.
