Israel’s aspiration for the building of the nation and the return to the Land is an aspiration of the depth of Goodness that permeates all of existence at its root to emerge fully into the world. …. and a new world shall be built.” (Orot:Lights from Darkness: Israel and Its Resurrection, Chapter 10)For Rav Kook, Tikkun Olam (the rectification of the world) is not a series of "good deeds" layered onto a broken world. Instead, it is a cosmic reunification. He explained that the world is currently "fractured"—spirit is separated from matter, the sacred from the secular, and the individual from the collective.Torat HaRav Kook outlines a multi-layered approach for the individual and the nation of Israel to effect complete rectification.In our text-based shiur, we will review Rav Kook’s foundational teachings that outline what Am Israel must do in the world in order to fix it completely.
