Description
Rav Kook deals more than any great rabbi with "Antinomianism", the tension between spirituality & the details of Torah. This topic, which was at the core of the debate between Hassidim & Misnagdim, is again seen by anarchists and revolutionaries (and even a few rabbis) as a call to implement the opinion in the Talmud that "mitzvot will not be needed in the future", just as they were not necessary for Adam and others before the giving of the Torah (so also was the claim of Shabbtai Zvi). Rav Kook clarifies the proper balance between the two, and warns against "skipping stages", where the world today still clearly needs law and order, rules, and obviously mitzvot!
