אתר ישיבהWhy does G-d test us with such difficult challenges?
During the course of our lives, we all encounter many different situations, some of which are very difficult and create great hardships. We strive to understand what could be their reasons, but generally without success.
  • How Can We Know There Is a G-d?
    How can we know with certainty that there is a G-d?
  • A Deeper Take on Shabbat: Why is This Allowed & That Prohibited?
    This important lecture helps answer the classic question we all ask: Why are certain things allowed on Shabbat and others forbidden? Rav Kook, based on Kabbalistic sources, explains that the 6 days of creation and the Mishkan- the 2 classic "constrictions" (Tzimtzum) of God, are the anti-thesis of Shabbat. Accordingly only and precisely those 39 types of labor which were done to construct the mishkan correspond to the 6 days of creation, from which we want to rise above on Shabbat, to get a taste of the original Shabbat which preceded creation, and the final Shabbat, when all of creation will be like Shabbat. This basic and beautiful idea is clarified here in a very understandable way
  • The Significance of 'Coincidental' Associations and Meaning of Numbers & Letters
    Often in life we come across small and apparently "coincidental" associations which somehow connect with something else we are doing. Rav Kook explains that this is one of the venues, how God runs the world. An example is how the number 40 and letter Mem consistently refer to the same idea, whenever mentioned in the Tanach or halacha, including understanding even the details of mikveh and family purity.
  • How the Torah & MItzvot Protect Us
    The teaching of our sages, that the Torah and Mitzvot protect us, demands explanation, and Rav Kook writes how to understand this concept.
  • A Tale of Two Fathers
    After his first Shabbos ends with an unspeakable tragedy, Shimon Ilan’s resilience & faith paves the way for an unexpected friendship and inspires Yaakov Shwekey’s latest hit song Ein Davar Ra.
  • why is there suffering in the world?
  • Rav Kook's View of G-d
  • Self-Control with Smallest Body Functions Enables Spiritual & National Greatness
    Self-control and self-discipline are basically the Godly trait of "Gevura", to overcome, but Rav Kook explains that this good manner includes even regarding the smallest of body functions (e.g. burping, etc.). Having good manners and basic etiquette prepare us for higher levels of spirituality. Rav Kook explains here the story of Elisha, the "Master of the Wings" and the Romans who outlawed tefillin, and why we fold our tefillin with "wings" on 2 sides.
  • "Opposites Not Only Attract but 'Prove' God"
    Some summarize the multi-faceted and complex ideology of Rav Kook as: "Uniting the Opposites". This class concisely explains this idea in a "down-to-earth" way, and its centrality to Rav Kook's thinking.
  • Food Glorious Food: Rav Kook on Eating & Bodily Waste
    Food is a basic part of our lives, but Rav Kook also relates to one's bodily wastes after eating.
