[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rabbi Meir Kahane was a unique voice in the landscape of modern Jewish history. He was a man of conviction for whom inaction was simply not acceptable. This book offers his thoughts on what he described as, “the American Jewish establishment’s failure to assist fellow Jews,” as well as such subjects as Aliyah, “Jewish Power” and the various civil rights campaigns of the early '70s and their often negative impact on a sympathetic American Jewry. Like him or not, few can match his intelligence and his arguments seem completely logical based upon (my understanding) of his understanding of Judaism and Ahavat Yisrael.

This book helped reinforce why I am Jewish.
