Dreaming of the Messiah: What Can We Learn from Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook?
Manage episode 508371542 series 3553628
Was Rabbi Kook a mystic, a radical, or a realist? And what did he really believe about redemption?
In the season finale, Rabbi Shai Held is joined by Professor Yehudah Mirsky to unpack the bold and complex messianic vision of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook and the ways in which this vision still reverberates today. Together, they explore Kook’s hopes for a transformed humanity, his belief in the spiritual potential of the Jewish people, and how his messianism shaped (and was shaped by) the politics of his time.
