![]() Shabbat Parashat Eikev 5782Igrot Hare’aya – Letters of Rav Kook: Questions about Religious Services in Eretz Yisrael – #111 – part IVDate and Place: 2 Adar I 5668 (1908), Yafo Recipient: Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Halevi, author of Dorot Harishonim. Body: I will do my best to answer your questions. First, I will quote your question, and then I will answer. Question #5, cont.: Will the religious schools teach the language of the land, if it is possible to find religious Jewish teachers who have fear of Heaven “from beginning to end”? My answer: [We saw last time that in Eretz Yisrael, in response to the challenges from the Haskala movement, a ban was made by great rabbis against the study of secular matters, including foreign languages, and that Rav Kook felt that this prevented many parents from sending their children to religious schools, most of which followed the ban.] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
