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 (19) The War of Worldviews: The Limits of Defensive Judaism
In this class, we explore Milchemet HaDe’ot v’HaEmunot—the war of worldviews and faith—through the lens of Rav Kook’s bold critique. Rav Kook warns against reducing Yiddishkeit into narrow definitions or neat ideological boxes. He challenges leaders and educators who rely on negativity—tearing down opposing views—rather than offering a compelling, inner vision of faith.
We discuss his call for a deeper, more inclusive emunah—one that holds the complexity, struggles, and questions of modern Jewish identity without fear. Rav Kook invites us to embrace the soul of Am Yisrael as something too vast to be confined by words or simplistic definitions.
Judaism, he teaches, isn’t just about defending truth—it’s about revealing it.
