"בית הרב"
ביתו של מרן הרב אברהם יצחק הכהן קוק זצ"ל (Rav A.L. Kook) שייסד את הרבנות הראשית לארץ ישראל, והיה הרב הראשי הראשון שעמד בראשה, בשנים תרפ"א-תרצ"ה (1921-1935). הבניין נבנה בשנת תרפ"ג, מתרומתו של הנדבן הארי פישל (Harry Fischel).
הבניין שימש, מיום הקמתו, כמשכן לישיבתו של הרב - הישיבה המרכזית העולמית ("מרכז הרב") והיה מרכז רוחני תורני חשוב ליישוב היהודי המתחדש בארץ ישראל.

"Beit Harav"
The home of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Hacohen Kook zt"l, who founded the Chief Rabbinate of Eretz Yisrael and served as its first chief rabbi from 1921-1935.
The house was built in 1923, with a generous donation from Mr. Harry Fischel. From the day of its completion, the building served as the home of Rabbi Kook’s yeshivah-The Central Universal Yeshivah ("Mercaz Harav") - and became an important spiritual center of Torah for the newly emerging yishuv in Eretz Yisrael.
