Kitvei HaRav Kook 8

Tolerance and Unity Between Right, Left and Religious

Rav Kook is famous for his stress on tolerance, but here he details that we aren’t looking for passive tolerance but for active appreciation for the positive (not negative!) ideology of every stream of Judaism. He posits that there is a need in Israel and all societies for right-wing nationalist parties, left-wing humanist parties, as well as religious parties, for each two limit the third side of the triangle from extremism. Godliness is revealed through the harmonizing of these three ideologies which comprise mankind.
