What does Rav Kook’s *cherem* letter have to do with Purim? In this shiur, we explore how Rav Kook transformed personal attacks and opposition into spiritual elevation, embodying the deep Purim theme of revealing hidden light within darkness. Just as the tzaddik descends to elevate the sparks trapped in *klippos*, Rav Kook engaged even with *kefira* to extract holiness, mirroring his own life’s journey. Purim teaches us that history’s greatest denials of Hashem ultimately led to a renewed strength in *emunah*. Similarly, Rav Kook’s response to criticism—seeing good even in what appeared traumatic—offers a profound lesson in resilience, transformation, and the power of redemption hidden within life’s struggles. Join us as we uncover the deeper meaning of Purim, trauma, and the tzaddik’s role in revealing the divine in the most unexpected places.
