Rabbi Meir Kahane: His Life and Thought: Volume One: 1932-1975

By Libby Kahane

Written by his widow, this retrospective of the first three decades of Rabbi Meir Kahane's life chronicles the childhood events that shaped the New York-born Jewish leader. Libby Kahane's research experience combines with her firsthand knowledge of events to present a comprehensive survey of the ideology that led Rabbi Kahane to form the Jewish Defense League to combat the rise in anti-Semitism and spearhead a campaign of Jewish activism that led to the emigration of tens of thousands of oppressed Jews from the Soviet Union. This biography also discusses Kahane's strategy as he entered the political arena upon immigrating to Israel in 1971.
