<p>My thanks to Zev Eleff who found a document entitled Tentative Faculty of the Department of Jewish Studies, Bernard Revel Papers, Box 36, Folder 1 20, Yeshiva University Archive where Chief Rabbi R. A. Kook of Palestine is listed as a visiting lecturer for the academic year 1928 1929. It seems that more evidence might still be forthcoming about Dr. Revel's vision of bringing R. Kook to RIETS Yeshiva College.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; direction: ltr; unicode-bidi: embed;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I found two documents indicating that R. Kook received an honorary doctorate from the University of Bern. Indeed, </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rav Kook had resided in Switzerland from October 1914 until January 1916, and an honorary PhD might have been initiated by the students who set up Tachkemoni, Vereins j&uuml;discher Gesetzestreuer Studenten in Bern (Society of Jewish law-abiding students in Bern) as the organization was spearheaded by two of&nbsp;&nbsp;Rav Kook leading disciples, B.M. Lewin and M. Seidel. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If anyone has any leads on this information, it would be most appreciated. </span></p>
