This month, we're excited to introduce an alternative format our podcast will take — another kind of 'Tzarich Iyun' discussion. We're calling it: Talking in Learning. Every other month, Rav David Silverstein will host a guest in conversation about a text of their choosing. We hope you enjoy the first installment of this series.

Rav Dovid'l Weinberg and Rav David Silverstein consider the idiosyncrasies of Rav Kook's writing style and the reasons why his Torah isn't studied widely outside of Israel. Then, they open Orot HaTorah, Chapter 2 to understand Rav Kook's unique approach to "Torah l'shma" and embrace of every individual's personal encounter with Torah.
