Rav Kook (28) The Great Pain My Generation: Meimor HaDor

In this first shiur of the *My Generation* series, we begin exploring Rav Kook’s *Meimor HaDor*, found in *Ikvei HaTzon*. We discuss the historical context in which Rav Kook was writing and how he saw light emerging from darkness — even in the spiritual confusion of his generation. Together we learn the prologue to *Ikvei HaTzon*, uncovering why Rav Kook chose this name, and begin the essay with its opening theme: **the great, subconscious pain of the generation.** Rav Kook teaches that this deep, unspoken pain is not only psychological but cosmic — a pain that transcends language, reaching toward redemption. He speaks to the struggle of our times and even hints to the inner turmoil that will surface near the end of days. --- **Topics:** * The meaning of *Ikvei HaTzon* * The hidden light within darkness * The subconscious pain of the generation * Why we can’t yet articulate our deepest suffering * Rav Kook’s vision for the end of days ---
