Description

In general we learn that man's walking upright is a positive trait, but Isaiah teaches that the Temple was destroyed because the women walked too (!) tall, arrogantly. Rav Kook expounds on how arrogant people think they can manage alone, and exile and dispersion is an educational punishment, teaching us how much we need each and every Jew and Jewish group, who only together can totally reveal all of the G-dly sparks.
