    One of the most remarkable figures in Israeli history, Rabbi Rav Abraham Isaac Kook, who died in , left a large and complicated legacy. The country's first Ashkenazi chief rabbi and founder of the modern Chief Rabbinate of Israel, he is still the leading thinker of religious Zionism. His large and complicated body of thought — at the same time nationalist and universalist; rigorous in religious practice and open to modern society; traditional and revolutionary — has led to his still being claimed by or attacked by both left and right. In a series of books in English and Hebrew, including his most recent, " Towards the Mystical Experience of Modernity, The Making of Rav Kook, ," professor of Near Eastern and Judaic studies Yehudah Mirsky has sought to present a more richly nuanced and compelling picture of Kook than those presented by his acolytes and critics alike. In so doing, he also brings to life little-known chapters of Jewish thought and history.

    Jerusalem: Mossad Ha-Rav Kook,

    Lucidly written biography by a leading thinker of Religious Zionism in Israel. A full chapter is devoted to the controversy over the sale of land during the sabbatical year, which R. Kook supported. Especially useful for its significant attention to the lesser known earlier years of Rabbi Kook’s life. In Hebrew.

    New Haven, CT: Yale University Press,

    A thoughtful and evocative intellectual biography of R. Kook written for Yale’s “Jewish Lives” series. By far the best biographical work in English, possibly in any language. Written from a position of personal admiration as well as painful disappointment with aspects of the political and religious legacy of R.

    Kook in contemporary Israel. Beautifully written, the lack of explicit scholarly apparatus required by the series’ format may frustrate experts.

    Rav kook biography In the fall of , Avraham Yitzhak Kook, then serving as chief rabbi of Jaffa, set out on a journey north. Accompanied by other rabbis, Rav Kook, as he was commonly known, traveled to the new Zionist settlements along the coastal plain and in the fertile Galilee region of Ottoman-ruled Palestine. Between and some 20, Jews arrived in Palestine, mostly from the Russian empire. These pioneers — as they were known — were fiery idealists, hoping to remake themselves, the land, and Jewish history through communal labor and cultural revolution. They were also vociferously anti-religious, having abandoned traditional, commandment-bound observance for the Zionist promise of a new Hebrew life, a fact that Rav Kook knew well.

    This is one volume of a multivolume set by R. Neriyah devoted to R. Kook’s teachings on a variety of subjects.
