Did Rav Kook refer to Herzl as Messiah son of Joseph?

Did Rav Kook write that the founder of Christianity
possessed wonderful charisma?

Did Rav Kook at the opening ceremony of Hebrew University
quote the verse For from Zion will go forth Torah?

These are the troubling questions this carefully
researched book attempts to answer.

Also, all of Rav Kook’s thoughts on the subject of Buddhism.


Praise for the writings of Rav Kook:

“That organic conception of the overall unity of Knesset Israel with all her generations and avenues, in all the diverse and unusual spiritual manifestations, from one extreme to the other, which were revealed through her; and all the styles of portrayal and methods of explication through which it is expressed in those books—could not have been conceived anywhere else but upon the mountains of Judea and Jerusalem.”

—Rabbi Isaac Hutner in Igrot la-RAYaH

Rav Kook looks at the Shekhinah, the divine presence, at Knesset Israel, at the root-of-roots of the souls of Israel, and from that point he peers into the soul of the individual…This is the source of the infinite poetry in Rav Kook’s kabbalah, which has no equal in the later works of Kabbalah, of the unending cascade of words upon words, which appear redundant, but are in reality an influx of divine ecstasy, visions, and soul-ascent to the heights of transcendent worlds, whose domain is at the same time here on earth, in Israel’s struggle for Messianic
existence, in her sufferings and hopes. These are also the redemption of worlds, their catharsis, sublimation, purification, and arrival at the supernal splendor of Primordial Adam.”

—Hillel Zeitlin, Sifran shel Yehidim
