Response regarding women suffrage by Rabbi Kook. Jerusalem, 1920. Polemic
Teshuvah Klalit!...regarding female participation in elections, by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook. [Jerusalem, Solomon Press, 1920.]
7 pages. 22 cm.
Lengthy response by Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook regarding women's participation in elections for the Asifat HaNivcharim. Rabbi Kook wrote on the title page that he had already expressed his opinion regarding his opposition to the matter, but he thought it appropriate to expand and explain his position. The response was written in Nissan, 1920, and relates to the stormy polemic of the time. Rabbi Kook believed that it was inappropriate for women to vote in the first elections for the Asifat HaNivcharim. His opinion caused a rift among the religious Zionists. In this work, Rabbi Kook expands on his opinion and suggests submitting the question to a meeting of Eretz Yisrael rabbis. This meeting took place on the 26th of Nissan, 1920.Rare booklet. Listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book according to the copy in Mossad HaRav Kook.
New cardboard binding. Marginal reinforcements and restoration. Moderate-fine condition.
