It could be argued that Rav Kook and the Rav are the major thinkers of modern Judaism in the 20th century. They tackled important ideas of Jewish nationality, identity, and zionism, and, much more than that, they thought seriously about creative confrontation with secularism.
Rav Kook actually met the Rav on the latter’s only trip to Israel in 1935. Rav Kook actually met the Rav on the latter’s only trip to Israel in 1935. The encounter reminded Rav Kook of his youth in the yeshiva of Volozhyn [where Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, Rav Soloveitchik’s grandfather taught.] Rav Kook told his son Tzvi Yehuda of Rabbi Soloveitchik that “the voice of the grandfather is heard in the grandson.”

There are several things. One is, knowledge of the material. Students should know Rav Kook and not merely what people say about Rav Kook. Next has to do with developing critical acumen. We examined to what extent were his arguments made based on assumptions about the people of his time. In doing so, students have greater understanding of the kind of issues people confronted in the 20th century.
