About This Text

Author: Abraham Isaac HaCohen Kook
Composed: Latvia, c.1896 – c.1904 CE
"For the Perplexed of the Generation" was written by Abraham Isaac HaCohen Kook (1865–1935) before he moved from Latvia to the land of Israel in 1904 and was published posthumously. It presents Rav Kook’s response to the issues of his time, including Zionism, critical scholarship, and secular nationalism. This work was mentioned in a list of unpublished works by Rav Kook that appeared in 1937. At that time, Rav Kook’s son, Zvi Yehuda Kook (1891–1982), denied its existence. It was not actually seen until an electronic version appeared in 2010.
