Vision, Creativity, and Faith: The Thought of Rav Kook for the Modern World

Rav Ari Shvat (Chwat)

Rav Kook, the first Chief Rabbi of Eretz Yisrael, is undoubtedly one of the most innovative thinkers & prolific writers in the Jewish world of the past century. He may be most noted as spiritual father of religious-Zionism, but this series deals with his ideas on various other topics in the modern and post-modern world and society. His thought is generally unfamiliar to English-speakers, and this series hopes to expose them to many new and refreshing ideas.
