Machshava:

Rav Kook 

Description

9. Gormei hamachala (after a long hiatus mainly due to being intimidated by this section). We learned about the generations desire for the light and profound and harmonious ethics and morals that Yiddishkeit and Torah are meant to bring to the world. However, the souls of this generation will not accept fragments of Torah and if details of obligation don't fit or make sense, some will just rebel against the whole system. Because they want the whole picture and will not accept galusdig fragments of Torah. Jews in essence love and celebrate the Divine system of ethics and laws, we know they help raise us up to the highest level of functionality and meaning. Nevertheless if they get so heavy and dry and bitter, some will simply not be able withstand how they stifle ones need for light and profundity. This generation needs the healing and redemptive power of penimiyus haTorah.
