Editing Modern Orthodox Judaism (section)

===Religious Zionism===
Modern Orthodoxy draws on the teachings of Rabbi [[Abraham Isaac Kook]] (1864–1935), as well as the writings and interpretations of his son Rabbi [[Zvi Yehuda Kook]] (1891–1982), both as regards their views on [[Jewish peoplehood]] and as they regard the (related) interaction with the secular world.
* "Rav Kook" saw [[Zionism]] as a part of a divine scheme finally to result in the resettlement of the Jewish people in its homeland, bringing redemption ("Geula") to the Jewish people, and the entire world.
* In Rav Kook's thought ''Kodesh'' and ''Chol'' (sacred and profane) play an important role: ''Kodesh'' is the inner ''taam'' (lit: "flavor") of reality, while ''Chol'' is that which is detached from ''Kodesh'' and is without any meaning; Judaism, then, is the vehicle "whereby we sanctify our lives, and attach all the practical, secular elements of life to spiritual goals which reflect the absolute meaning of existence – G-d Himself".<ref>Rabbi Hillel Rachmani: [http://www.vbm-torah.org/archive/rk1-kook.htm Introduction to the Thought of Rav Kook]</ref>

In [[Israel]], the [[Religious Zionism]] of the ''Dati Leumi'' ({{Script/Hebrew|דתי לאומי}}, "National Religious") dominates Modern Orthodoxy. Here too, the ideological basis is largely drawn from the teachings of Rav Kook,<ref name="Richlen">Lisa Richlen (2003). {{cite web|url=http://www.wzo.org.il/en/resources/view.asp?id=1219 |title=Then and Now: Trends in Israeli Judaism |access-date=2005-11-29 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050324171603/http://www.wzo.org.il/en/resources/view.asp?id=1219 |archive-date=March 24, 2005 }}, wzo.org.il</ref> and there is therefore much overlap; philosophical differences, as well as other "non-modern" forms of Religious Zionism, are discussed [[#Religious Zionism 2|below]].
