Description
THE RAV’S SECRETARY
During the turmoil of the First World War, Rabbi Shimon Glitzenstein arrived in London and was appointed the personal secretary to Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, who had likewise come at that time to serve as the Rabbi of the Machzikei Hadas congregation. In his journals and essays, he recounts intimate encounters, poignant moments, and the unique atmosphere that pervaded the community. Through his eyes, we glimpse the profound influence of Rabbi Kook on British Jewry and the enduring thread that binds London to the Land of Israel. This rare document is a moving historical testimony — a tale of spirit, tradition, and vision, set against a backdrop of upheaval and prayer.
