Machshava:

Rav Kook,  Yirat Hashem 

Collections: R' Shvat The Thought of Rav Kook

Description

Modern man lives in a democratic world of equal rights, where we don't see all-powerful kings nor servants/slaves, and are not accustomed to fear or awe of almost anyone. Accordingly, we need Rav Kook's advise & definition of how to fulfill the eternal obligation of "Awe of God", Yir'at Shamayim, in the modern context, and how to harmonize it with "Love of God" (Ahavat Hashem). [It's highly recommended after this class, to hear the lesson on "Being Godly"]
