Elul Insights from Torah Giants: Rav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook
Rav Kook on Teshuva: Returning to Your CoreRav Kook’s writings reveal a revolutionary approach to teshuva: it’s not just about regret for sin, but about returning to your essence—connecting with Hashem with simcha. Unlike teshuva born from fear or guilt, true teshuva stems from joy, love, and realizing that closeness to Hashem is life’s greatest pleasure. This shiur explores his insights from Orot HaTeshuva, including the three levels of teshuva—physical, moral, and intellectual—and the journey from sudden inspiration to gradual spiritual growth.Subscribe and bring the Parsha to life each week.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram & Youtube
