The Gross-Steinberg Family Tree presents:

Rabbi Avraham Hacohen Kook Research

by James Gross

Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook
(1865-1935), First Chief Rabbi of Israel

I am researching the Rabinowitz family, which married into the family of Kook. I am related via my Friedman family

HaRav Kook's Three Principles:

   Before us lie the end of the exile, and the onset of our people and
   our land. The Torah can and must solve every problem and answer
   every question, for it is wider and deeper than the ocean.
   The soul of every Jew possesses rights - full and inalienable rights
    to live in his own way, for he belongs to Klal Yisrael
    (Universal People of Israel).


The Kook/Jaffe/ Rabinowitz tree by James Gross

The Jaffe/Kook Rabinowitz family is a very old Rabbinical dynasty.
It is referenced in several books including the Encyclopedia Judaica.
I am working on linking it to my Friedman tree. My link is as follows:

"An orphan boy named HERSH ZAIDEL was brought to Jerusalem, Palestine
in the middle of the 19th century by a childless uncle Reb Hersh
Friedman from Ponevezys, Lithuania. Hersch Zaidels father's name was
Baruch Zaidel  and his mother's name was Rivkah.  Hersch Zaidel adopted
the surname of his Uncle; hence Hersch Friedman. At the same time some
good people brought to jerusalem a little orphan girl  of 9, Eigeleh
from Paswol Lithuania, who lost her mother at a very young age. Her
father was Reb Bezalel Rabinowitz and her mother was Gittel a relation
of the late chief rabbi of Palestine; Reb Abraham Isaac Hacohen Kook."
