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learn a powerful piece from Orot Yisrael 5:13, where Rav Kook speaks of the birth of a “new Jew,” one who transcends outdated forms to embody a more complete spiritual consciousness.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

The Land of Second Chances | Nach Daily book launch
At the Nach Daily book launch, Shaya Sussman shared a personal and powerful message about failure, redemption, and the deep relevance of Navi in our lives. From failing through school—and even getting a 32 in Navi—to launching a sefer that brings Navi to life, Shaya reminded us that second chances aren’t the exception; they’re the rule.
This is the story of Am Yisrael: We were in our land. We lost it. And now—against all odds—we’re back. Living in Eretz Yisrael today is living inside a promise fulfilled, a living testament to Divine mercy and faithfulness.
Shaya spoke about how every Sefer in Navi is not just a historical document, but a spiritual stencil overlaying our current moment. Nevuah wasn’t just a past experience—it was the awareness that Hashem is with us. And one day, we’ll meet the Neviim again and recognize how each of us was part of the story of second chances—for ourselves, our people, and the world.
