rWotD Episode 2964: Shmuel Alexandrov Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 15 June 2025, is Shmuel Alexandrov.Rabbi Shmuel Alexandrov of Bobruisk (Hebrew: שמואל אלכסנדרוב; 1865–1941) was a prominent student of the Volozhin Yeshiva, who became close to the tradition of Chabad Hasidism. Alexandrov was a Jewish Orthodox mystical thinker, philosopher and anarchist, whose religious thought, an original blending of Kabbalah, Orthodox Judaism, contemporary philosophy and secular literature, are marked by universalism and some degree of antinomianism. His works include פך השמן ("the Oil Jug"), a commentary on Pirkey Avot, and a large collection of essays, מכתבי מחקר וביקורת ("Letters of Research and Investigation"). Alexandrov was influenced by the anarchistic implications of the work of Rav Kook (the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of the British Mandate for Palestine), from which he sought to derive practical instruction. Another influence on Alexandrov was Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov. Alexandrov lived all his life in Bobruisk and was murdered in the Holocaust.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:03 UTC on Sunday, 15 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Shmuel Alexandrov on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Stephen.

A new "daily" (tues-friday) shiur on the Torah of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok HaKohen Kook taught by R. Marcus Rubenstein

Rabbi Avi Havivi's siddur class at Temple Beth Am Los Angeles via Zoom - May 27, 2025. Special Guest: Rabbi Avi Havivi.

What if the land you live on isn't just dirt—but a partner in your destiny? In Parshat Bechukotai, we discover that Eretz Yisrael responds to the moral and spiritual state of its people. Join Rabbi Dunner for a powerful journey through blessings, rebuke, Rav Kook, the Chazon Ish, and the land that never forgets.

Rav Kook's Vision: Halakhah, Secular Knowledge, and the Renewal of Judaism. Those of us who know something about Rabbi Abraham Isaac HaKohen Kook's life and philosophy know about his being stuck outside of the Land of Israel during WWI, being the first Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of British Mandatory Palestine, and his encouragement of the secular Zionists who turned swamps into vegetation. But not many of us have analyzed the personal notebooks that the Rav left, commonly known as Shemonah Kevatzim (eight collections). Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Professor Marc B. Shapiro author of the acclaimed new book, Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New: The Unique Vision of Rav Kook (Littman Library, 2025). Our conversation ranged from the philosophical underpinnings of Rav Kook's thought to its relevance for modern Orthodoxy and contemporary Jewish life. Using the notebooks and other information Marc B. Shapiro's Renewing the Old, Sanctifying the New offers a window into the philosophical heart of Rav Kook's approach to halakhah and secular knowledge, using Rav Kook's own words to illuminate his radical, yet deeply rooted, vision for modern Judaism. I found it important to use those words and quotes when discussing the topic with Professor Shapiro. Rav Kook's words speak volumes – and you'll hear them throughout the interview.

Why did Nadav and Avihu die? On the holiest day, in the holiest place, they brought an unauthorized fire—and were consumed by God's fire. Were they arrogant? Were they drunk? Were they idealists? Rabbi Dunner's shiur on Parshat Shemini explores the conflicting views of Chazal and the commentaries, the deeper message behind their deaths, and what Rav Kook's response to the “strange fire” of modernity can teach us about leadership and humility today.

In this episode of the Tradition Podcast, our associate editor Yitzchak Blau interviews author, researcher, and Makor Rishon columnist Yair Sheleg about his recent Hebrew book HaHut HaMeshulash, whose English title might be offered as The Triple Chord: A Short History of Religious Zionism (Kinneret-Zmora, 2024). Rav Kook believed that Religious Zionism combines elements of religion, nationalism, and liberalism. In HaHut HaMeshulash Sheleg asks if contemporary Religious Zionism has remained loyal to this triple mission. If not, why not—and where has it fallen short? Blau and Sheleg also discuss the relationship between American Modern Orthodoxy and Israeli Religious Zionism—how do they overlap and how do they differ? Sheleg's had published an essay at TraditionOnline before the book appeared that outlined his basic thesis; Blau had reviewed Sheleg's book when it was published a few months ago as part of his fascinating Alt+Shift series (he also reviewed Sheleg's earlier work on Hardalim, or Ultra-Orthodox Zionism).

In this series we will be exploring some of the great texts that deal with the very, very essential tension and dance between lights - vigor, intensity, creativity, vigor - and vessels - capacity, skill, tools, resources. Light without vessels is inaccessible and destructive. Vessels without light are stultifying and dull. In this first installment, Rav Kook's essay describes the great dreamers who came to Israel in the early 20th century with their big lights... and insufficient vessels with which to hold those lights.

Rav Kook, Shmona Kevatzim, Kovetz 1: 201כשם שההויה המוחשית היא טבועה על התנועה התדירית, כן ההויה הרעיונית טבועה היא על השמחה הבלתי פוסקת, שמח הוא העולם, שמחה היא ההויה הפנימית כולה. Just as the existence of sensory experience is, by its essence, rooted in continuous movement, so too the existence of ideas (all cognitive processes) is, by its essence, rooted upon a joy that never ceases. The world is joy. Joy is the interiority of all existence.

We're thrilled to welcome Reb Zvi Goldstein to the podcast for an in-depth exploration of three monumental topics in Jewish thought: Mashiach, Olam Haba, and Techiyat HaMetim. These concepts are often conflated, particularly in discussions about reuniting with loved ones who've passed away. The Rambam delves deep into each category, and we're here to untangle these ideas and gain a clearer understanding of his views. We start with the Rambam's take on Mashiach, delving into what it means for Mashiach to be the natural consequence of mitzvot and the proof required to recognize him. Is Mashiach an actual king, a political leader, or something else? How do Eliyahu HaNavi, the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, and the Sanhedrin fit into this vision? And what about resurrection—does it precede or follow Mashiach's arrival? Reb Zvi helps us piece together these intricate layers of Jewish eschatology. We also explore the Rambam's perspective on Olam Haba, including his view of the eternal soul as pure information and the urgency of maximizing our one chance at life. We discuss the risks of literalism in mystical texts like the Zohar and how Lurianic Kabbalah has reshaped perceptions of Jewish esotericism. Finally, we tackle the controversial topic of korbanot in the Messianic era. The Rambam's view—that animal sacrifices serve an essential psychological and spiritual purpose—has been the dominant position in Jewish tradition. In contrast, Rav Kook's vision of evolving toward vegetarian offerings stands as a modern and less widely accepted perspective. Together, we examine the tension between these views, the enduring relevance of sacrifices, and the profound lessons they teach about human nature and divine law. This episode will challenge your assumptions and provide plenty of food for thought. --- • Bio: Zvi Goldstein, known by his pen name xvi Kaizen, is a distinguished thinker at the intersection of traditional Jewish scholarship and contemporary rational thought. As the Principal of Ontic Capital, an algorithmic trading firm, Zvi combines analytical rigor and economic insight with his philosophical pursuits. Zvi holds a BA from Hebrew Theological College and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. His academic journey is enriched by Talmudic studies at Yeshiva University, Yeshivat Har Etzion, Hebrew Theological College, and Yeshivat Maor Tuvia in Mitzpe Yericho. Zvi teaches a rational approach to Judaism, drawing inspiration primarily from Maimonides' Guide for the Perplexed. His notable work, "Summary of the Guide for the Perplexed," aims to make Maimonides' ideas accessible by distilling the main points of the work into clear and concise discussions. Zvi argues that this philosophy offers relevant approaches to many contemporary issues of faith in the modern world. Zvi finds personal fulfillment in his life with his wife Sari and their children in Puerto Rico. --- • Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Rod Ilian, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel Maksumov, Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

A special Sukkot podcast. There is a Biblical promise that one day all the nations will celebrate Sukkot in Jerusalem. Rav Kook delivers a powerful message for every believer in the God of Israel. Jeremy also delivers a special message to all of his Christian listeners (TRIGGER WARNING for Catholics!), encouraging them to return to Jerusalem as well.

In this chapter, the author collects flashes of illuminations and insights that Rav Kook collected and recorded in his notebooks throughout his life. Powerful paragraphs that can quite literally change our lives.

Jeremy Gimpel gives insights into chapter 16 of Rav Kook's (first Chief Rabbi of Israel) world of Teshuva.

In this chapter Rav Kook charts a path for every single person to breakthrough into their future. He lays the stages that anyone can do. He paves the path that everyone who walks down will be blessed.

Teshuva is embarking on life's most marvelous adventure, it's a struggle, it's painful, it's hard and it's uncomfortable. Rav Kook teaches that it is exactly the challenges we face when doing Teshuva that brings true happiness in life. The struggle is the way. To struggle is to be Israel.

Jeremy Gimpel gives insights into chapters 9 and 10 of Rav Kook's (first Chief Rabbi of Israel) world of Teshuva.
