Collections: R' Shvat Ain Aya- Rav Kook's commentary on the Aggadeta of Masechet Shabbat

Description

Rav Kook deals here with the paragraph in Masechet Shabbat which holds that Ukvan bar Nechemia, the Chief Rabbi of Bavel, is among the greatest Ba'alei Teshuva in history, even like Yoshiayau in the Tanach! His embarrassing challenge precisely is what redirected his problematic drive to bring him to be a super-tzaddik and super-leader of Israel.
