Rabbi Abraham I.Kook:
Holy Man in the Holy Land
Rav Kook in Eastern Europe

Brilliant, sensitive, and emotional, the Netziv singled out young Rav Kook in Volozhin, and with the support of his father-in-law, the Aderet, his life in learning seemed assured. But God had different plans, so Rav Kook was obliged to turn to a career in the rabbinate. Rabbi Wein captures the many-sided character of young Rav Kook: his gentleness, his genius, and his unexpected will of iron.
