The Torah of Tomorrow, One Song

“Anyone familiar with the mystical texts of haRav Kook knows that his language requires special skill to understand on a simple level, let alone to penetrate the endless depths of these poetic teachings. No easy task. And yet Rachel Ebner has done it with precision and grace… Her learned and light-filled insights into haRav Kook’s Torah secrets are rewarding and elating.”

Rabbi Gedaliah Gurfein

Founder and CEO of The People’s Talmud Project

“For many years, the Torah teachings of haRav Kook have eluded many students. [In this] erudite translation, we benefit from the expertise of a most qualified scholar. Learning from this work, with the Hebrew and English texts side by side, brings haRav Kook's precious teachings to life and conveys his true intent and legacy to a generation that is so hungry for it.”

Rabbi Joseph Schonwald

Rochlin Foundation, Jerusalem

“It is very important that haRav Kook’s advanced Torah understandings be widely shared. [This] superb work will help bring them to the world.”

Rabbi Itzchak Evan-Shayish
