	Also: Kuk, Abraham Isaac
		Kook's personal religious experience moved him to be deeply concerned about the contemporary opposition to religion, and throughout his life he carried on a relentless search for the meaning of religion in the modern world.
		Kook was convinced that in spite of the decline of religion, mankind had moved to a higher stage in cultural growth.
		Kook wrote: "The sacred and the profane together influence the spirit of man and he becomes enriched through absorbing from each of them whatever is suitable." In order for holiness to be achieved, the sacred and profane must be synthesized.

		Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) was the first Ashkenazic chief rabbi of the Palestine mandate, among other achievements.
		Kook criticized departures from halakhah [Jewish law], but at the same time asserted that "every labor and activity, spiritual or material, that contributes directly or indirectly to the ingathering of our exile and the return of our people to our Land is embraced by me with an affection of soul that knows no bounds."
		Even more important, Kook could explain away the clear inapplicability of halakhah as it had taken shape over two millennia of exile to the actual conditions of the Land and society, which he wished that halakhah to govern.

	Rabbi Abraham Issac ha-Kohen Kook
		Rabbi Abraham Issac Kook was born to a deeply pious and learned Jewish family in 1865, in Grieve, Latvia, which was part of the then restricted world of the Jewish ghetto in Eastern Europe.
		As a halakhic authority charged with respsonsibility for rendering decisions that were to become the norm of law in the Jewish Community, Rav Kook revealed a flexibility that made him anathema to the zealots of the older type of traditionalism.
		Rabbi Kook believed that the diversity of religion is a legitimate and a permanent expression of the human spirit, the the different religions are not meant to compete but to collaborate.

	World Mizrachi Movement: Rav Kook
		Rabbi Kook reiterated over and over again that each and every Jew retains a holy spark within the soul and that the Jewish people as a whole, in beginning to revive their national aspirations and rebuilding the Land, were igniting this spark – which most assuredly would bring about the full and complete redemption.
		At all times Rabbi Kook desired to keep peace between the religious and irreligious segments of the community, while trying to preserve and teach that the traditional way of life cannot be abandoned without abandoning the very soul of the Jewish people.
		The end of Rabbi Kook’s life was marked by controversy, as the yishuv (settlement in Eretz Israel) divided between Revisionist and Labor Zionist philosophy.

	Rabbi Scheinerman's Home Page - Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook
		Rav Abraham Isaac Kook was a prominent religious Zionist thinker, whose philosophy continues to serve as the foundation of religious Zionism.
		Kook, however, interpreted the age-old messianic vision of Judaism to lend support to the efforts of those working to create a modern Zionist state.
		For Rav Kook, redemption is not limited to Jews, and the building up of the Land of Israel was part of a larger, universal process that encompassed all humankind.

		Kook moved to Palestine in 1904 and served as rabbi of the city of Yaffo (Jaffa) and the agricultural settlements nearby.
		Kook seemed to believe that the Messiah was coming in his generation, so he did not work out the practical implications of a Jewish state in a non-messianic age.
		Kook's son, Rabbi Tzvi Yehudah Kook, believed his father would see the conquest of the entire biblical land of Israel, including the West Bank and Gaza, as part of the messianic fulfillment.

		Kook often appears in optimistic surveys of Zionist history as a kind of foremost final forerunner of the successful fulfillment of a combination of religious and nationalist aims with the formation of the modern state of Israel in 1948, after the interruption of the anti-Jewish Holocaust promoted by the Nazis.
		First, according to Avineri, Kook argued against interpretations of Eretz Israel as only a heavenly or ideal realm, and on behalf of the view that Jews living in the Diaspora were living to some degree in an unholy way, inasmuch as they were not pursuing their religious duties in the Holy Land.
		Second, Kook explains the secularity of pioneers who came to Palestine, before the new Jewish state was founded, by declaring that the true motives of a person’s actions may not be known to the person.

	Kook, Avraham Yitzhak (1865-1935)

		On returning to Palestine after the war, Kook was appointed chief rabbi of Jerusalem and, with the formation of the chief rabbinate in 1921, he was elected the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Palestine.
		Rabbi Kook was very popular among all sections of the population both non-religious and religious (except for the extreme Neturei Karta group).

	Judaism and Vegetarianism - Richard Schwartz Collection - Vegetarian Teachings of Rav Kook (Revised/Expanded)
		Rabbi Kook explained that the reprimand implied by these elaborate regulations is meant to raise the consciousness of the Jewish people, to get us to think about what we are eating and how we are eating, with the aim of eventually leading us back to God’s initial vegetarian regimen (Genesis 1:29).
		Rav Kook considered vegetarianism as an ideal for the Messianic Age when people will have a heightened spiritual awareness, but he argued that vegetarianism should not be widely adopted as a norm of human conduct before that time.
		Rav Kook asserted that at present, other societal issues such as the enmity between nations and racial discrimination should be of greater moral concern to humanity than the well being of animals.

		Rav Kook proceeds to teach that the very nature of the Jewish nation is to be maximally benevolent to all.
		Rav Kook would say in reply to Abraham that his intention of pan-human benevolence, is a sound goal, but before that will be possible, you will need to undergo a period of nationalism, in spite of the limitation involved.
		Abraham's benevolence was of such a type that were he to be universal and not set up a new nation, his teachings would collapse, and the good he had done, evaporate.

	Judaism and Vegetarianism - Schwartz Collection: The Vegetarian Teachings of Rav Kook
		Rav Kook believed that the permission to eat meat was only a temporary concession; he felt that a God who is merciful to his creatures would not institute an everlasting law permitting the killing of animals for food.
		According to Rav Kook, because people had sunk to an extremely low level of spirituality (in the time of Noah), it was necessary that they be given an elevated image of themselves as compared to animals, and that they concentrate their efforts into first improving relationships between people.
		Rabbi Kook believed that the reprimand implied by these regulations is an elaborate apparatus designed to keep alive a sense of reverence for life, with the aim of eventually leading people away from their meat-eating habit.

	YudelLine: Darwin is Not the Enemy
		The problem raised by evolution, said Rav Kook, was based on its conflict with the religious views of the masses, not on the inner truth of Judaism.
		Rav Kook’s faith-filled response to science contrasts with that of Klinghoffer and his colleagues in the Intelligent Design movement, desperately seeking God at the final line of the scientific enterprise.
		Conversely, Rav Kook would argue that atheism among evolutionary theorists is not a sign that something is wrong with the structure of biological science, but rather as a sign that something is wrong with religion.

		Rabbi Kook, the first Ashkenazic chief rabbi of modern Israel, is well- known for his original and ground-breaking attitudes to Zionism, to secularism, to modernity, to vegetarianism, to evolution and to many other issues that were important in his days and in ours.
		But then Rabbi Kook also went on to outline the fears that he had about the creation of a university in Zion, fears that related in part specifically to the field of Jewish Studies.
		Rabbi Kook was very concerned that the search for scholarly objective truth as practised in the academy went against the best interests of the Jewish religion.

		Kook, whose yahrtzeit [anniversary of his death] was this week, died in Israel on August 18, 2001, at the age of 86.
		The antagonism between Kook and Jewish leaders in America and in the yishuv [the pre-state Jewish community in Palestine] was partly due to American fear of calling too much attention to the Jews and partly due to his close association with Ze'ev Jabotinsky and the underground Etzel movement [Irgun Zvai Leumi, "the National Military Organization"].
		Kook, who was born in Lithuania in 1915 and immigrated to Palestine with his family at the age of 10, worked as an Etzel emissary bringing Jews from Europe to Palestine before moving to the United States in 1940.

		Abraham's new Hebraic faith had to prove that it could produce a believer no less a passionate being than his pagan counterpart.
		In a sense, Rav Kook’s entire teaching is an attempt to revive this old-new faith in the living God.
		In later years, the student – now become the Nazir, Rabbi David Cohen – would recall that it was precisely when Rav Kook uttered the words of the 'Akedah, the portion of the binding of Isaac, in the morning prayer, that he experienced a most rare ecstasy.
