Rav Kook’s Understanding of Secular Zionism - Part II

Rav Kook adds important additional points regarding the eventual benefit of the rebellion against religion, mainly that it forces us to rediscover the depths and the beauty of the “broad Torah”. Since leaving the ghetto, the Torah must compete with other appealing and dynamic ideologies. Yeshivot can no longer just teach Talmud, but must rediscover Tanach, ethics, philosophy, hassidut, kabbala, and Zionism.
