Avraham Yitzhaq Ha-Cohen Kook (1865-1935) stands as a colossal
figure of modern Jewish history and thought. Jurist, mystic, poet,
theologian, communal leader, founder of the modern Chief Rabbinate
and still the defining thinker of Religious Zionism, he is
indispensable for understanding modern Jewish thought, the
contemporary State of Israel, and the most fundamental interactions
of religion, nationalism, ethics and spirituality. Despite
countless studies of him, almost no full-fledged intellectual
biography of him exists in any language. This study of the years
before his momentous move to Jaffa in 1904, drawing on little-known
works, including recently published manuscripts, begins to fill
that gap. It traces his life and times in the remarkably intense
Rabbinic intellectual milieu of late nineteenth-century Eastern
Europe, and his path from a profound, regularly rationalist
traditionalism, towards a dynamic theology and spiritual practice
weaving together Kabbalah, philosophy, universal ethics, and
romantic mysticism.
