Prayer at the grave of Rabbi Kook
Prayer at the grave of Rabbi KookHillel Meir

Last week we commemorated 82 years since the passing of a man who revolutionized the Torah world.

Who was Rav Avraham Yitzchak Hacohen Kook? What made him so special? So many people talk about this outstanding rabbi, but how much do you really know about who Rav Kook was? What was his background? What was his philosophy about Torah, about health, and about the secular nature of the Land of Israel?

Also: Rabbi Chanan Morrison talks about what distinguishes Rav Kook from the other rabbis of his generation, and from those who came before him.

And: Rabbi Itzchak Marmorstein shares Rav Kook's poetry, and explains why he put it to music in such an unusual way.
