Inhaltsangabe

"Well written and concise. This book makes the mitzvah of Tefillin so much more meaningful. Highly recommended reading." --Robert Weiss

What are tefillin? What is their deeper significance? How can we bind our hearts and souls to God, as we bind these these scrolls to our arms and heads?

The Splendor of Tefillin contains nine insightful essays that delve into the philosophical side of the mitzvah of tefillin, based on the writings of Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook.

If we truly understood the mitzvah of Tefillin, Rav Kook taught, when we place them over our frontal lobe, “we would feel a flow of enlightenment, understanding, and reverence of God.”

"I warmly recommend this book to all those interested in deepening their understanding of tefillin - and of Rav Kook's teachings."--Rabbi Shmuel Jablon

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Rabbi Chanan Morrison grew up in Pennsylvania, and graduated with a B.A. in Mathematics from Yeshiva University (New York). Pursuing advanced Talmudic studies in Jerusalem, he spent the next seven years studying in Jerusalem yeshivot, including the famed Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav, founded by Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook in 1924. Rabbi Morrison taught Jewish studies for several years in Harrisburg, PA, before returning to Israel. He and his family subsequently settled down in a small community in the Judean Desert. In an effort to maintain contact with former students, Rabbi Morrison began emailing articles on the weekly Torah portion based on the philosophical writings of Rabbi A. I. Kook. Over the years, this email list grew at a phenomenal rate; it now benefits thousands of readers from all over the world. He is frequently featured on the Torah section of the Israel National News website, and his work can be read on his own website at http://www.ravkooktorah.org.
