(FT) 8vo. In Hebrew. Volume one (of three) only. SUBJECT(S) : Faith (Judaism) . OCLC lists 21 copies worldwide. Kook (1865-1935) , born in Latvia, was a religious Zionist and the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi In Erez Israel. He was ordained a rabbi in 1888, serving in Zaumel, Bausk, and after migrating, in Jaffa. Stuck in Euope during WWI, Kook temporarily led a congregation in London and encouraged Zionist activity there; after the war he was made chief rabbi of Jerusalem. His devotion to Israel as a religious entity often brought him conflict with other Zionists, both secularists and other rabbis who held practical interests above religious ones.
