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.

What does Rav Kook really think about nationalism? Is secular Zionism just an empty vessel—or part of the Divine plan?
In this shiur, we explore Rav Kook’s bold and nuanced vision: how nationalism without Hashem becomes distorted and dangerous, but religion without a national container becomes self-absorbed and disconnected from reality. Rav Kook challenges both camps and offers a powerful third path—where body and soul, land and light, vessels and spirit come together.
We also dive into how distorted expressions of nationalism still serve a holy purpose in the unfolding story of redemption. And I share a personal story about attending a settler festival with my wife—witnessing a type of Jew that hasn’t existed in 2,000 years.
This is not your typical take on Zionism or religion. It’s Rav Kook’s deep spiritual map for national revival, techiya, and Geulah in our homeland.
