Daniel Landes - The Poetry of Rav Kook: Finding The Lights in A New Dark Age

Rabbi Daniel Landes presents his lecture "The Poetry of Rav Kook: Finding The Lights in A New Dark Age" for Valley Beit Midrash event at Congregation Beth Tefillah (bethtefillahaz.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ. Rav Kook (1865 – 1935) was a towering leader of the Jewish renaissance in the Land of Israel and a profound master in every area of classic Jewish scholarship. His philosophic mysticism contained a hard sense of reality, while also having profound optimism. In this lecture, we shall explore the unique features of Rav Kook’s thought within his personal poems, which he would awaken to write in the middle of the night!
