HaRav Tzvi Yehuda HaCohen Kook zt”l
HaRav Tzvi Yehudah HaCohen Kook of blessed memory, the son of HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook, was an outstanding scholar and personality in his own right. HaRav Tzvi Yehudah, as he was widely known, was Rosh Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav for close to fifty years. He oversaw the revolution that took place as the young students from the “new yishuv” as it was then called, the “kipot haserugot” started going to yeshivot. Merkaz HaRav, under Tzvi Zvi Yehudah opened the doors before these young boys, and changed the course of history. Students of Merkaz HaRav, many of them pupils of HaRav Tzvi Yehudah, haven taken their places in the very front in almost all fields: the Rabbinate, education, settlements, industry and politics.
HaRav Tzvi Yehudah devoted his life to the Yeshiva and to the spreading of his father’s teachings and ideas. HaRav Tzvi Yehudah took it upon himself to publish the father’s writings, spending years on each book until it was ready for print.
HaRav Tzvi Yehudah inspired thousands of people with his vision of am Yisrael attaining the most sublime degree of shlemut as the geulah proceeds in Eretz Yisrael.
