Rochi Ebner: Rav Kook's Return to Our Soul [Teshuva 1/5]
This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar.
In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Rachel Tova Ebner, translator of a new volume of the teachings of Rav Kook, about what the spirituality of Rav Kook adds to our Jewish practice and to our understanding of ourselves.
As we approach Rav Kook’s yahrzeit (3 Elul), we’re directing our attention to the spiritual dimension of Yiddishkeit outlined in his works. In this episode we discuss:
What does Rav Kook teach us about our yearning for God?
What is the role of feelings in our inner work?
What does it mean for us to change as the Torah stays the same?
Tune in to hear a conversation about the paradox inherent in trying to “change the past” via teshuva.
Interview begins at 14:57.
Rachel Tova Ebner grew up in Manhattan and made Aliyah to Jerusalem with her family in 1982. She is linguist and lyricist, a teacher and translator, with a Master’s degree in Hebrew from the Bernhard Revel Graduate School of Yeshiva University. Her most recent professional endeavor was to participate in the translation of the new Koren Tanach. She has three children and eleven grandchildren.
