It is nothing less than amazing that there still exists in some Jewish minds any iota of respect for one of the greatest enemies of Authentic Judaism: Avraham Yitzchak Kook, the first Chief Rabbi of the Zionist State. While it may have been somewhat difficult during his lifetime and shortly afterward to correctly assess Kook’s true personality, however, today his reality is more than clear in all its true ugliness. In this time of age, with all his (sick) writings and (sick) opinions available for all to see, there is ZERO justification to in anyway appreciate or respect this enemy of Authentic Judaism. Therefore how futile is the attempt by various truth benders to exhibit that this or that Torah authority had respect for Kook “back then”.
Even his most vehement enemies would be startled today by the anti authentic Jewish ideas that have come to light with the publication and circulation of his writings.
The time has come for all authentic Jews to realize that Kook was simply an enemy, a great enemy, of Judaism, like Mendelssohn, Geiger, Weisel, Herzl, and all the rest who are now burning in Gehinnom.

Some very good food for thought

Sholom Rav,
Very beautiful and moving post. Thanks for this very important website and blog. I was just curious about the Kook posting, some of my more modern friends (if you can call them that), have told me things like “(R) Kook’s haskamos appear in Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach’s seforim”, “(R) Kook was Rav Elyashiv’s mesader kiddushin”, and that the holy “Chazon Ish was recommended in a letter to be accepted to be a Rov in Eretz Yisrael from HaGaon R’ Chaim Ozer directly to (R) Kook.” (in the last case, they even showed me what is supposed to be this letter!). Whats pshat? How do i answer them to these claims?

Also, how can you say Rav Kook was an “enemy” of authentic Judaism, when the Yeshiva he founded over 70 years ago, is today a flourishing makomTorah?
The Yeshiva Kook founded (“Merkaz HaRav”, more actually referred to as “Merkav HaZav”) is flourishing today. But not in Torah, only in non-Authentic Jewish Ideology, and hence is a den of iniquity like all other Mizrachi “Yeshivos”
“…Avraham Yitzchak Kook, the first Chief Rabbi of the Zionist State…”
Raphael, this is an incorrect statement, HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook lived from 1865–1935, the State of Israel was established in 1948, so it is impossible for Rav Kook to have been, as you write, “the first Chief Rabbi of the Zionist State…”
I think it is important for you to make a public apology on this web page, for spreading false claims about HaRav Kook and talmidei chachamim.
You are correct that Kook died before the Zionist State was officially formed. Let it read “the first puppet Rabbi of Zionist Leaders and their institutions…”
False claims?! We haven’t written half of the ugly truth about this evil man yet…
