5 March 2025 · A sentence from the teachings of Rav Kook

The Illusion of Reality

„We are overly intoxicated by external fancies, and because of this we do not feel the truth of our own inwardness.”From Iggeret HaPurim

What is the purpose of the festival of Purim? To stop for a moment from the eyeglasses we wear all year, and to put on, for a moment, different eyeglasses. To turn off, for a moment, the surroundings, the judgmentalism, and the externality – and to look inward, in truth. Without partitions.
