msseeker: When we say “Yiftach B’Doro”, at least he was Yiftach. He wasn’t Joe on the street, and he certainly wasn’t a Masis like the leaders of the Reform. Rav Kook is more similar to other Gedolim of their time of whom Klal Yisroel did not Pasken like them, such as Bais Shammai, the Ibn Ezra, R’ Meir, etc.
