3The Koren Rav Kook Siddur is an exciting new prayer-book that offers a dimension of spirituality sorely lacking in our world today. Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook (1865-1935), first Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi of Eretz Israel, was renowned for his harmonious blending of both the body and the soul of the Torah, as represented in the Halakhah and Aggadah. Culled from Rav Kook's own commentary to the Siddur, 'Olat Re'iyah, and other writings of the master, as well as rich anecdotes transmitted by Rav Kook's son and major disciples, The Koren Rav Kook Siddur speaks to the soul, while it connects us all to the sacred soil of the Holy Land. The Siddur includes Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' immensely popular English translation, while it features a digest of Rav Kook's commentary, never before seen in English. The work includes an introduction about Rav Kook's overall philosophy of prayer, adapted by Rabbi Bezalel Naor, acknowledged interpreter of Rav Kook's thought.
