Mishpetei HaRav Kook / Repairing the World with Its Own Tools

„The feelings of repentance, in all the splendor of their radiance, in all their deepest crushings of soul, must be revealed in literature, so that the generation of the revival may learn repentance in the depth of the soul, in a living and fresh manner, and "he will return and be healed."”From Orot HaTeshuvah 17:5

Repairing the world cannot be disconnected from the spirit of the people and the partnership of the people. Therefore repentance and repair must connect to the daily life of the collective, and not stand in a corner or a nook alone. The ability to connect with a people requires the use of the tools of the collective, the language of the collective, and the spirit of the collective. Repentance and repair will not come from a disconnected and arrogant place, but from partnership and togetherness.
