Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook (1865– 1935) was the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, as well as a mystic, philosopher, and poet. For many years, much of Rav Kook’ s spiritual wisdom has remained unknown or unread by the general public. In this new collection of writings, never-before-seen English translations have been made available to the reader. Each chapter is introduced and organized into different topics, including the meaning of silence, speech, faith,
mitzvot
, dreams, love, community, exile, redemption, and peace.
