Orot: The Lights of Rav Kook
Rav Avraham Yitzchak Hakohen Kook inspired generations
of religoius Zionists. His passion, scholarship and devotion to the Land of Israel trasnformed him into the powerful leader
who established the groundwork for the growth of the Religious Zionist community in Israel. His most famous work, Orot, describes
the inherent power of the Land of Israel and her underlying connection to the Nation of Israel. In this shiur, we will study the
writings of Orot through the prism of Rav Kook's son, Rav Zvi Yehuda, using a recently published book of shiurim on Orot.
