Rav Kook's Symbolism of Mitzvat Ma'aser Sheni & Various Numbers
Rav Kook is known for many innovative explanations of various Torah mitzvot and their benefits, which sit well with our modern mindset. Here he deals with the mitzva of the owners to eat 10% of their animals in Yerushalayim, including the yearning of many regular Jews to be Kohanim! Similarly he also explains here the symbolic meaning of different numbers in rabbinic writings, the importance of studying history and analyzing midrashing teachings regarding our sages. (Ayn Aya, Shabbat v, 11)

But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
