About the Author

Rabbi Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook (1865–1935) was the first Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Erets Yisrael. His unique approach to the Jewish People, flowing from a heart full of love, an intellect of cosmic scope, but above all, a soul invaded by mystic God-consciousness, endeared him to both the scholars and pietists of the Old Yishuv, and the settlers and revolutionaries of the New Yishuv. Very few thinkers have plumbed the depths of the individual psyche and encompassed the totality of existence, and what is between, as did Rav Kook. His often prophetic words speak today to an ever-widening audience seeking spiritual guidance in turbulent times. Bezlel Naor is the author of many works of Jewish thought in English and Hebrew—philosophy, Kabbalah and Hasidism—with a major concentration on the writings of the great Seer of Israel, Rav Kook. Naor’s latest work, Kana’uteh de- Pinhas (2013), is an analysis of the critique of Leshem Shevo ve-Ahlamah by the Lithuanian kabbalist Rabbi Pinhas Lintop of Birzh (Birzai). Naor’s earlier works include The Kabbalah of Relation (2012) and The Limit of Intellectual Freedom: Letters of Rav Kook (2011).
