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 (20) The War of Worldviews: An Old-New Paradigm of Judaism
In this shiur, we journey into Rav Kook’s powerful critique of a common religious impulse — the attempt to package Judaism into neat, rigid systems. Rav Kook challenges us to stop reducing Torah into something small and manageable, and instead open ourselves to the vast, living truth it holds. We spoke about the need for deep spiritual principles — like gravity — that are both specific and expansive, real enough to explain large swaths of reality while exposing what’s false. Unlike idol worship, which often grasps only partial truths, Rav Kook invites us into a broader, truer world of Emunah — one that can contain it all. This is not just a new idea, but a paradigm shift in how we understand Judaism, faith, and light.
