Rabbi Kook
I wanted to ask the rabbi about his assessment of Rabbi Kook. Does the rabbi assess him as a rational person, or does the rabbi perhaps see him as someone with a developed sense of imagination? And how does the rabbi relate to the interesting correspondence between him and Rabbi Harlap – about the vision that Rabbi Harlap had at the Western Wall.

The correspondence appears in the letters of Rabbi Haralf to Rabbi Kook, where Rabbi Haralf mentions several times a revelation he had at the Western Wall (he writes a date) and he is only hinting at it in the letter, and the rest will be said face to face. In connection with this revelation, he writes several times that Rabbi Kook is a descendant of Hezekiah, King of Judah (if I am not mistaken, the letter is not in front of me at the moment) and it was customary for him that Rabbi Kook should focus his thoughts on his student (Rabbi Haralf) to bring him up.
How do you approach such things? The difficulty is because I see these two characters as real and true to themselves (a look at the writings of Rabbi Kook in his diary shows how uncompromisingly real he is).
I don't know. Maybe he had such an epiphany??! Or are they hallucinations?
