Description - Towards the Mystical Experience of Modernity: The Making of Rav Kook, 1865-1904 by Yehudah Mirsky
- A worthy successor to Mirsky's earlier book, the critically acclaimed Rav Kook: Mystic in a Time of Revolution iterature.
- Rav Kook is a forceful figure in Israel's religious and political life. He served as the first chief rabbi of Jewish Palestine and was the founding theologian of religious Zionism. Despite countless studies of Rav Kook, almost no full-fledged intellectual biography of him exists in any language. This study of the years before his momentous move to Jaffa in 1904, drawing on little-known works, including recently published manuscripts, begins to fill that gap.
- Essential read for anyone who wishes to understand how Rav Kook became who he was, and the trajectory of his religious thought. Mirsky spotlights his Kook's early works, including the tensions that arise between his early thought and what he later expressed.
- Yehudah Mirsky is Associate Professor of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University. A former US State Department official, he has written widely on religion, politics, and culture for the New York Times, the Economist, the Washington Post, and many other publications.
