During these years he wrote a number of works, mostly published posthumously, notably a lengthy commentary on the [[Aggadot]] of Tractates [[Berakhot (Talmud)|Berakhot]] and [[Shabbat (Talmud)|Shabbat]], titled ''Eyn Ayah'', and a brief book on morality and spirituality, titled ''Mussar Avicha''. 

It was in 1911 that Kook also maintained a correspondence with the [[Jews of Yemen]], addressing some twenty-six questions to "the honorable shepherds of God's congregation" (Heb. {{Script/Hebrew|כבוד רועי עדת ד}}) and sending his letter via the known Zionist emissary, Shemuel Yavneʼeli. Their reply was later printed in a book published by Yavneʼeli.<ref>Aharon Gaimani, "Scholars of Yemen Answer Questions of Rabbi A.I.

In 1913 Kook led a delegation of rabbis, including several leading rabbinic figures such as [[Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld|Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld]], to the many newly established secular "moshavot" (settlements) in [[Samaria]] and [[Galilee]]. Known as the "Journey of the Rabbis" the rabbis' goal was to strengthen Shabbat observance, Torah education, and other religious observances, with an emphasis on the giving of 'terumot and ma'asrot' (agricultural [[Tithes in Judaism|tithes]]) as these were farming settlements.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/10941|title=1913: Rabbi Kook Leads Rabbis' Tour of the Moshavot|website=Israel National News|date=3 December 2011 |language=en|access-date=2018-09-12}}</ref>
