Wow, amazing! The Rav wrote that he felt he failed because his students didn’t have the passion for the tradition that the rabbis of the past had. But he does an amazing job here. Tremor, fascination, passionate love of God, sense experience, etc. This reflects his maternal inheritance, a Hasidische inheritance. He wrote about this, too. Thank you so much for posting!
It was R' Kook's mother who came from a chasidic (albeit Litvish) background. The Rav's family was all non-chassidic, but he got a chassidic education as a child.
@@nachumlamm9353 I read that the Rav's mother was from a chassidishe background. Anyhow, every book and every sentence in his books testify his dual heritage.
@@RaphaelKaufmann No, the Rav's mother was very Litvish. He was related to R' Moshe Feinstein through her. But his father was rav of a Chabad town (long story), so he got a Chabad education as a child and always spoke about how he appreciated it. I'm not sure about "every sentence," but it's there. Unless you're referring to Rav Kook, where that's much more true.
Did I understand correctly that Rav Soloveitchik was saying that the Kibbutz was so radically left wing that it was "on the borderline of Stalinism"? 4:36
Marxist kibbutzim understood there is no Torah without Yovel. It is one of the foundational concepts that make Torah possible. Yovel does not allow for a caste of Kings and Nobels. Its is the great equalizer that a nation of formers slaves understood so very well. The only form of master-slave can be the Hebrew as Oved ha Shem. Without Yovel we are lost.
Every word is precious gems. Unfortunately this quality of Torah is so rare in our time. :(

YU boys were not Litvaks and did not have the same degree of intellectual aspiration.

@@morehn Quite the opposite on all counts, I'd say.

Some kibbutzim openly admired Stalin and publicly mourned his death.

Truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Tower scholar, anxious, contradictory, acccommodating. J.B., not Rav Kook.
