Zvi Yehuda Kook (1891-1982) was a rabbi, a leader of Religious Zionism, usually associated with the Mizrachi movement in Israel, and the Rosh Yeshiva of the Mercaz haRav yeshiva. He was the son of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, and named in honor of his father's mentor, Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, a.k.a. the Netziv.
His teachings are partially responsible for the modern religious settlement movement in the disputed territories. Many of his ideological followers in the Religious Zionist movement settled in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Under the leadership of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, with its center in the yeshiva founded by his father, Jerusalem's Mercaz haRav thousands of modern religious Jews campaigned actively against territorial compromise, and established numerous settlements throughout the West Bank. Many of these settlements, were subsequently granted official recognition by Israeli governments, both right and left.
Ideology
Prominent Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook was the leader of the settler movement, Gush Emunim. Their beliefs are based heavily on the teachings of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda's father, Rabbi Abraham Kook. The two rabbis taught that secular Zionists, through their conquests of Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), had unwittingly brought about the beginning of the "Final redemption", which would end in the coming of the Jewish messiah. Gush Emunim supporters believe that building Jewish settlement on land God has allotted to the Jewish people as outlined in the Hebrew Bible, is an important step in the process of redemption.
This, and other aspects of his teachings, are being preached by his many students. The most beknownst among them are rabbis Shlomo Aviner, Zvi Tau, Avihu Schwartz, Dov Lior, Issar Klonsky, Haim Steiner, Yoel Bin-Nun, and David Samson. Numerous Yeshivas in Israel claim to be following his teachings.
