Rabbi Chaim Druckman, head of the Bnei Akiva movement, spoke in Knesset on Wednesday in honor of Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook, who passed away 30 years ago. “There is no more honorable place than the Knesset to honor Rabbi Kook,” he said.

“Anyone who did not see Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook rejoicing on Independence Day has never seen true happiness,” Rabbi Druckman related. “He was humble and modest, and managed to leave his mark on an entire generation. He was a man of truth. All kinds of people came to see him, and all left with light in their eyes.”
