Machshava:

Pesach,  Rav Kook 

Collections: R' Shvat on the Holidays

Description

Much has been said on the 4 sons of the Haggada, but as always, Rav Kook has an innovative take on this. The class begins with a short chiddush on the Haggada of the ideologue Prof. Amnon Shapira of the religious kibbutz Tirat Tzvi, who's funeral was right before the class, where he explains that questions are so central to the Haggada, because a slave cannot ask questions. In fact, the Exodus which we celebrate was the turning point of mankind, in terms of freedom, free will, questioning, rational thought, and really all of modern thought.
