Kol Ha'Shofar - A Booklet Against Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook - 1921 - Extremely Rare

When Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Ha'Cohen Kook published his book "Orot" it was happily accepted by most of the Haredi community. However, some of the zealots, who looked for a reason to fight Rabbi Kook, decided to use the matter to hurt him and his student Rabbi Harlap. For this purpose, they wrote the booklet "Kol shofar" which presents, in a fragmented and distorted manner passages from the book "Orot". They also presented their objection to the book. They sent the booklet to several rabbis in Israel and abroad so that they will add their support to the call printed in the book to reject Rabbi Kook's books.

The booklet was written by Akiva Porush, who concealed his name (yet hinted at it in the name of the booklet).

The booklet was printed in Elul 1920 and caused a great dispute in Jerusalem. Eventually, the rabbis of Jerusalem decided to destroy the revolting booklet and what the author had thought to have done to Rabbi Kook's books was done to his.

There are almost no copies left of this revolting booklet since most of them were indeed destroyed. Most of the surviving copies are missing some leaves.

Before us is a complete copy of the booklet, which shocked and outraged the most prominent rabbis.

The leaves are bound by thread.

At the end of the booklet, a stamp of "Agudat Kodesh".

Condition: Good.
