A Biography of Abraham Isaac Kook—and a Window into American Jewry 60 Years Ago
“The moral lever of humanity.”
On the Hebrew calendar, yesterday was the 91st anniversary of the death Abraham Isaac ha-Kohen Kook, the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Palestine. Rabbi Kook is known for his theology of Zionism and his attempt to respond to the problems of modernity with his original interpretations of Kabbalah. In a five-part series published in the Jewish Press in 1961, Rabbi Moses J. Feldman provided a biography of Kook, which is both an informative introduction to this fascinating figure and itself a window onto American Orthodoxy of the early 1960s.
