This seven volume collection is the definitive anthology of the writings of Rabbi Meir Kahane, selected from the columns in the Jewish Press and other publications. Spanning a period of thirty years, it contains a wealth of Judaism, Zionism, Israel, the Holocaust, assimilation, territorial concessions, violence and peace. Rabbi Meir Kahane was a master of the both the deed and the word. These writings will inspire, teach, and chastise, as they did when they first appeared. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the fiery words of this modern-day Jewish prophet. Generations of former Soviet Jews will forever thank Rabbi Kahane for helping them obtain freedom. Future generations of Israelis, for their part, may well be grateful for his inspired vision that can enable peaceful Jewish life in the Land of Israel. This collection is published in the hope that it will serve as a guide to every thinking person for whom the destiny of the Jewish people is important. Beyond Words will surely take its place in the library of outstanding Jewish literature.
American-Israeli Orthodox rabbi and founder of the Jewish Defense League and the Israeli Kach party.
Kahane and his organisations are considered to be jewish extremists and his Israeli Party "Kach" was banned in 1994 in Israel after it was linked to anti-arab terrorist attacks.
In 1990 Kahane was shot after giving a speech urging Jewish-Americans to emigrate to Israel. Some of his supporters claim he was the first victim of Al-Qaida.
The Jewish Defense League is still an active organisation.
