Description
A big question facing western man is: how to balance my desire for self-fulfillment, achievement and career, with my wish to be a giving member of a family, community and Am Yisrael? Does Judaism lean more in the direction of individualism or nationalism? Rav Kook addresses the question with his typical innovative and harmonic view of the world, stressing both ideals as: thesis, anti-thesis, and then synthesis. He shows the need and beauty of every individual and group, men and women, Jew and gentile, Kohen, Levy and Yisrael, and every individual's "letter in the Torah" and unique "spark of God", as well as their place in the larger mosaic and orchestra of Am Yisrael and mankind.
