Eretz Yisrael: The Teachings of HaRav Avraham Yitzhak HaCohen

Eretz Yisrael: The Teachings of HaRav Avraham Yitzhak HaCohen Kook

In his classic treatise, â€œOrot,â€ Rabbi Kook teaches that a proper understanding of Judaism can only be achieved after one first recognizes the significance of the Land of Israel to the Jewish People. To understand who we are as a nation, and to actualize our role as a light to the world, we first have to comprehend the special relationship between the Divinely-chosen People and the Divinely-chosen Land. Rabbi Kook writes: â€œIt is impossible for a Jew to be devoted and faithful to his intellectual faculties and his imaginative powers when he is outside the Land of Israel, compared to the quality of their faithfulness in Land of Israel. Revelations of holiness, on whatever level, are clean in Land of Israel, while outside the Land of Israel, they are mixed with dross and impure husks.â€ Owing to the deep, esoteric insights and difficult Hebrew of â€œOrot,â€ the book has remained the cherished possession of Rabbi Kookâ€™s students and the generation of Torah scholars who learned at the Rabbi Kook Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem. Now, in this illuminating commentary, Rabbi Kookâ€™s writings on the Land of Israel are explained in a clear and concise manner that is sure to add a treasure of knowledge to your understanding of Judaism and the role of Am Yisrael in the world.
