"who often integrates Torah passages into his writings – to whom Eliezer Ben Yehuda looked for guidance as he was doing his work with contemporary Hebrew! - offers the most amazing expression of the language since the Tanach."

The following are Marmorstein's translations of two of Kook's poems.

from Zeek: Rav Kook: Poet of Renewal

  2. Hi Itzchak,

    I am very glad to have found Zeek some months ago. Thank you for making these beautiful translations--and also for leaving a note here.

    Yours,
    Rus
