The Knesset plenum approved in a preliminary reading MK Nir Orbach's bill to commemorate Rabbi Avraham Isaac HaCohen Kook.
"Rabbi Kook taught us the importance of finding equality, without religious compromises, even with those who think in a different way than us. His ability to combine learning with practice was extraordinary. We, as those continuing his ways, are committed to keeping up the healthy relationship between all parts of the people of Israel, "said MK Orbach in his presentation of the law.
