Students at the Robert M. Beren Machanaim Hesder Yeshiva  were privileged to complete the sixth of the “Eight Files” (A collection of eight notebooks containing the writings of Rabbi Avrahama Yitzchak HaCohen Kook covering a variety of subjects, and on which the books of his teachings authored by his son and students were based), which they study each morning with their Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Shlomo Vilk.

The concluding words of the sixth file seek to find harmony in the world, and empathy for all things in order to discover God “hiding” within them, characterize the very spirit of Machanim, whose mission is to seek to synthesize and find the common good in all of the worlds in which we live.
