Tzvi Yehuda Kook
1891 CE–1982 CE · Modern · Zaumel
Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook (1891–1982) was the son and successor of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Palestine. He inherited and developed his father's synthesis of Jewish mysticism, halakhic rigor, and religious Zionism, establishing the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva in Jerusalem as a center of this worldview. Known for his passionate devotion to the Land of Israel and his teachings on the religious significance of Jewish sovereignty, he became a spiritual mentor to the religious-Zionist movement, especially after 1967. He was revered for his warmth, erudition, and ability to inspire students with a vision of Torah that embraced modern Jewish national redemption.
