Description

Holiness will emerge from profanity. Tzadikim will be able to extract something good out of secular poetry and literature. Nevuah (prophecy) can only come from free choice. Rav Kook was extremely saddened that free choice was used very incorrectly. Would a frum (religious) girl break her engagement if she found out that her fiancee does not keep mitzvos? Are we keeping mitzvos because of their meaning, or because we are forced to?
