It is sometimes said that Rabbi Kook is for Israeli religious-zionists what Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik was for modern orthodox American Jews.
It is sometimes said that Rabbi Kook is for Israeli religious-zionists what Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik was for modern orthodox American Jews. To what extent was the Rav like the Rav?

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.
In later years, Rabbi Soloveitchik would sometimes cite Rav Kook.

Rabbi Kook's writings are sometimes esoteric and difficult to interpret. Some of his works seem to contradict each other. What was the methodology of the course? What works have students studied in class?

Rav Kook learned to appreciate what they were doing in cultivating Israel as positive and view their rejection of religion as resulting from a failure to see the broader picture. He saw their modern activism as corrective to the limited passivity of diasporic Jewish attitudes.
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. Last but not least: learning not to be afraid to take the book in your own hands and read it!
