Description

Rav Kook often relates to the gradual evolution of the individual and mankind, but here deals with the problem of those, like King Solomon, who because of his wisdom, thought that he could skip stages. This counterproductive haste, mistakenly thinking we can force the G-d of history, has many ramifications, including our relationship with the secular State of Israel and the current process of redemption. He also relates here to his explanation why women don't need the time-bound mitzvot, and the symbolism of the number 1,000 in rabbinic literature.
