Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak HaKohen Kook Dear Reader, if you are looking to be happy, creative, in harmony with G-d and with the universe, Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hakohen Kook has the answer - t'shuva. For Rabbi Kook, t'shuva is a concept much deeper than the common understanding of repentance. It is much more than penitence over sins and the remorse a person feels when he strays from the pathways of goodness and truth. While t'shuva includes these factors, the phenomenon of t'shuva spreads out over all universe, bringing harmony and perfection to all of existence. Like with every pattern of transgression, giving up an addiction to pornography, alcohol, or gambling doesn't mean just stopping. Former addicts have to fill up their feelings of inner emptiness and deep-seated depression with a passionate, loving, joyous connection to G-d.
