Mishpetei HaRav Kook / The World of Tohu
„The great idealists want a beautiful and good order, so solid and mighty that there is no example or foundation for it in the world; therefore they destroy what is built according to the measure of the world... They chose destruction, and they are destroyers; the world is being effaced by them, and they with it... The mighty of strength know that the revelation of this power is one of the phenomena that come for the sake of the world's perfection.”From Zeronim III
How does one repair the world? How does one solve a complicated situation in which we find ourselves on the personal, national, or international level? There are various methods. Some are found in shattering — in a world of chaos and breaking, after which a new and more repaired world will grow. This is a hard method that may bring heavy calamities along the way, but its results, after a period of time, can create a deep repair. The Tohu is found in war, in erasure, in fire, in the calamities that scorch a world and reveal beneath it a new layer that grows slowly. This is a deep and mighty idea of Rav Kook that can explain even our own era — the intense desire to change and to repair at any cost. And the Rav, with his unique vision, saw in this too a sign of redemption and progress!
