Teshuvah means return.It is the return to God, The return to health, The return to our soul, The return to the universe, The return to a mended planet, The return to happiness, The return to home.Lights of Teshuvah is the quintessential work of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (18651935), first Chief Rabbi of the holy land, who was a Talmudic genius, a communal leader, a saintly personality, an impassioned visionary, a fighter for social justice, a poet andmost of alla mystic. He was also a deeply original thinker, the breadth, inclusive spirit and transcendent ecstasy of whose teachings embrace the entirety of creation. Rabbi Kook was a poet of the soul and a spokesperson for a complete human spirit that embraces contradiction, that reconciles the poles of thisworldly and otherworldly experience. His writings celebrate the union of legalism and poetry, particularism and universalism, faith hidden in atheism and atheism hidden in faith, the spirit revealed from the flesh, and beauty revealed through ugliness.Rabbi Kook sang of universal creativity, of an unceasing fecundity that is the natural song of all being.He championed the poetic and creative spirit within each individual. Every time our heart beats with a true expression of spirituality, he wrote, every time a new and exalted thought is born, we hear the likeness of a Godly angels voice at the doors of our soul asking that we allow him entry so that he may appear to us in the totality of his beauty.Ultimately, Rabbi Kooks robust message is one of life and growth, hope and optimism. Death is a false phenomenon, he taught, and to the degree that the quantity of movement toward wholeness grows, evil decreases and goodness is revealed.ABOUT THE TRANSLATORYaacov David Shulman is the author, translator and editor of fifty books of Jewish spiritual and literary meaning.
