Description

Mankind and the world in general, is constantly undergoing evolution and improvement, trial and error, etc. On the other hand, this seemingly contradicts what our sages teachת that the further we get from Mt. Sinai, our level drops lower & lower. Rav Kook, who's Orot HaTeshuva is based on the fact that constant improvement is natural & inevitable, deals here with this apparent difficulty, addressing the necessity of suiting the religious and national leadership with the complex level of each respective generation. Not to underrate their potential, but also not to overrate! A leader's/parent's goal is to give people the vision of their potential. This is a super-important class for rabbis, community leaders and lay-men alike.
