In this first shiur of the *My Generation* series, we begin exploring Rav Kook’s *Meimor HaDor*, found in *Ikvei HaTzon*.
We discuss the historical context in which Rav Kook was writing and how he saw light emerging from darkness — even in the spiritual confusion of his generation.
Together we learn the prologue to *Ikvei HaTzon*, uncovering why Rav Kook chose this name, and begin the essay with its opening theme: **the great, subconscious pain of the generation.**
Rav Kook teaches that this deep, unspoken pain is not only psychological but cosmic — a pain that transcends language, reaching toward redemption. He speaks to the struggle of our times and even hints to the inner turmoil that will surface near the end of days.

Rav Kook (15) Healing & Suffering: Rav Kook’s Cherem & Transcending Trauma - A Purim story
What does Rav Kook’s *cherem* letter have to do with Purim? In this shiur, we explore how Rav Kook transformed personal attacks and opposition into spiritual elevation, embodying the deep Purim theme of revealing hidden light within darkness. Just as the tzaddik descends to elevate the sparks trapped in *klippos*, Rav Kook engaged even with *kefira* to extract holiness, mirroring his own life’s journey.
Purim teaches us that history’s greatest denials of Hashem ultimately led to a renewed strength in *emunah*. Similarly, Rav Kook’s response to criticism—seeing good even in what appeared traumatic—offers a profound lesson in resilience, transformation, and the power of redemption hidden within life’s struggles.
Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning of Purim, trauma, and the tzaddik’s role in revealing the divine in the most unexpected places.
