In this second shiur of the My Generation series, we continue exploring Rav Kook’s Meimor HaDor — his lament over the emotional collapse and inner defeat of the generation.
Rav Kook describes a world where individuals, families, and communities are wrapped in emotional pain and existential angst, leading to isolation, despair, and even psychosomatic suffering. Yet beneath the surface of this darkness, something sacred is taking shape — a new light beginning to emerge, and new-old souls descending into the world.
The old structures must decay for something more whole to be born. What appears on the outside as disintegration is, on the inside, the beginning of renewal.
We also learn a powerful piece from Orot Yisrael 5:13, where Rav Kook speaks of the birth of a “new Jew,” one who transcends outdated forms to embody a more complete spiritual consciousness.
All of this, he writes, unfolds specifically in Eretz Yisrael, the spiritual ground of transformation.
Topics:
The emotional pain of the generation
Isolation, despair, and psychosomatic suffering
Rebirth through decay and disintegration
“New-old souls” and spiritual evolution

Daniel’s Vision: The Shattering of the Statue, War, Iran and the Light of Redemption
In this shiur, we explore Daniel Chapter 2—the vision of the great statue representing the empires of history, shattered by a humble stone—and ask: What does this prophecy teach us about today’s war, the role of Am Yisrael, and the unfolding of redemption in our time?
Drawing on Rav Kook’s Orot HaMilchama, we dive into the spiritual psychology of war—not as chaos alone, but as a deep awakening of the soul. War shakes the world, but it also shakes us inwardly, revealing the cracks in false structures and the hidden light within.
We also explore how Hashem guides history through both miracle (nes) and nature (teva)—what Rav Kook calls or haganuz, the concealed light—and how the long arc of Jewish history is filled with Divine orchestration, even when it’s hard to see.
This class weaves together prophecy, psychology, Rav Kook, and current events to offer a deeper understanding of where we are, what’s breaking, and what’s being born.
