Podcasts about rabbi meir kahane

Send us a textThis is the last lecture I delivered in my academic career.  I discovered that I had miscalculated the end of the semester and that I had an extra class.  I did have a regular academic topic but my wife said, "You are a senior professor.  You have taught 48 years.  Your students see you as someone who has had a life time of experiences.  They will forget an academic lecture but they will not forget your personal stories.  Why not tell them about the famous political leaders you encountered during your lifetime."  So these are my reflections on 19 different people who crossed my path.  The first two are Nixon and Kennedy when they were campaigning in 1960.  The last was my friend Sibylle Laurischk, a member of the German Bundestag. Some of these stories are funny, some are affirming,  some are deadly serious.  Those discussed include Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, George McGovern, Spiro Agnew, Jimmy Carter and Roslyn, Mayor Orville Hubbard of Dearborn, Televantelist and Presidential candidate Pat Robertson, Queen Elizabeth, Queen Nour of Jordan, Nelson Mandela, Ambassador Moallam of Syria, Rabbi Meir Kahane, the racist Israeli who was assassinated, Hanan Ashrawi, the Palestinian spokesperson, Vice President Khaddam of Syria, Shlomo Gazit, former head of israeli military intelligence, Archbishop Vigneron of Detroit, and Sibylle Laurischk. I have separate podcasts on Jimmy Carter, Orville Hubbard, Queen Elizabeth, Nelson Mandela, and Rabbi Kahana. My son Greg, who was four when we met Vice President Spiro Agnew, reminded me recently that, "I shook hands with Spiro Agnew."  I had forgotten that, but he definitely deserves his moment in the sun. This was a recorded zoom lecture that was then shared with students.  Sorry that this podcast platform will not allow zoom images. Note that I also have a lecture on Memorable Students.  That was posted back in 2020.  

In this special live stream with Rabbi Nachum Shifren, we remember the life and message of Rabbi Meir Kahane on his Yahrtzeit, 18 Cheshvan, and hear a new Bleach Battalion song dedicated to JDL.

On September 19, I was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $10,539 for participating in the January 6 election protest.  A week later, I was interviewed by Frank Morano, host of "The Other Side of Midnight" on WABC radio in New York.  We discussed my sentencing, my experience being kicked off yet another dating service, and Rabbi Meir Kahane's humane solution to the Arab-Israel conflict.  

Rabbi Meir Kahane came of age amid the radical politics of the counterculture, becoming a militant voice of protest against Jewish liberalism. Kahane founded the Jewish Defense League in 1968, declaring that Jews must protect themselves by any means necessary. He immigrated to Israel in 1971, where he founded KACH, an ultranationalist and racist political party. He would die by assassination in 1990. In Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical (Princeton UP, 2021), Shaul Magid sheds new light on Kahane's radical political views, his critique of liberalism, and his use of the “grammar of race” as a tool to promote Jewish pride. He discusses Kahane's theory of violence as a mechanism to assure Jewish safety, and traces how his Zionism evolved from a fervent support of Israel to a belief that the Zionist project had failed. Magid examines how tradition and classical Jewish texts profoundly influenced Kahane's thought later in life, and argues that Kahane's enduring legacy lies not in his Israeli career but in the challenges he posed to the liberalism and assimilatory project of the postwar American Jewish establishment. Shaul Magid teaches Modern Judaism at Harvard Divinity School and is a senior research fellow at the Center for the Studies of World Religions at Harvard. His recent books include Piety and Rebellion: Essays in Hasidism (Academic Studies Press, 2019), The Bible, the Talmud, and the New Testament: Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik's Commentary to the New Testament (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2019), Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical (Princeton University Press, 2021); and The Necessity of Exile: Essays from a Distance (New York: Ayin Press, 2023). His present book project is Zionism as Anti-Messianism: The Political Theology of Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar. He is an elected member of the American Academy for Jewish Research and the American Society for the Study of Religion and is the rabbi of the Fire Island Synagogue. Amir Engel is currently a visiting professor at the faculty of theology at the Humboldt University in berlin. He is also the chair at the German department at the Hebrew University. Engel studied philosophy, literature, and culture studies at the Hebrew University and completed his PhD. in the German Studies department at Stanford University. He is the author of Grshom Scholem: an Intellectual biography that came out in Chicago in 2017. He also published works on, among others, Jacob Taubes, Hannah Arendt, and Hans Jonas. He is currently working on a book titled "The German Spirit from its Jewish Sources: The History of Jewish-German Occultism". The project proposes a new approach to German intellectual history by highlighting marginalized connections between German Occultism, its Christian sources notwithstanding, and Jewish sources, especially the Jewish mystical tradition.

The Israeli election of November, 2022 brought into the Knesset some of the most extreme individuals in that country's history.  To bring himself back into office,  Netanyahu brought them into his cabinet.  (Smotrich and Bin Gvir get the most attention, but there are others).   These were people who had been brought up in the shadow  of Rabbi Meir Kahane.  Kahane had been banned from office and Netanyahu's new allies had also seen their party banned.  But they had reconstituted themselves into a new configuration and evaded the ban.  With the horrendous attacks of October 7 and the brutal Gaza war that followed,   suddenly the thinking of those religio-nationalists has moved closer to the center of the political system.  (Note:  1200 Israelis and Israeli-linked workers were  killed on October 7.   22,000 Palestinians are dead as of early January, 2024,  70% being women and children). This is a reposting of an earlier podcast outlining the ideology of Rabbi Kahane.  Kahane was born in Brooklyn but moved to Israel and was elected to the Knesset.  He was later assassinated.  At the time, his views were considered shockingly extreme.  He was widely renounced by American Jews and by Israelis.   (Note that someone of his thinking had conducted the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre in Hebron in February, 1994.  29 Muslims had been killed on the first day of Ramadan, plus ten more sot by Israeli soldiers in the aftermath).  And someone of this mind-set also assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin).  I heard Kahane speak twice in the Detroit area in the early 1980s.  I also read two of his books, Time to Go Home [a call for Americans Jews to escape to Israel before the American holocaust] and They Must Go!  [ A call to expel all Palestinians so that Israel can become a Jews-only state].  Those books were chilling  I also read quite a few essays by him, and one biography.    As far as I can tell, those who today embrace his name and his ideas are not fundamentally different from what I heard in the 1980s.   Kahane believed that anything is justified to bring the new age and to save the Jews.  I thought of the accusations by radical Iraqi Jews that the 1952 bombings of synagogues were done by Zionist commandos in an effort to panic them into fleeing to Israel.  I have no way to know if those accusations are correct but such a thing would surely be justified by Kahane.  He was filled with hatred of Arabs, Americans and secular Jews.  He believed in his cause and would do anything to achieve it.  He had a definite support base in the American Jewish community, although certainly not nearly as big as the vast proportion who were hostile to him.  I don't want to be inflammatory but I wrote in my notes back in the 1980s that I felt I was in a Munich beer hall in 1924 listening to Hitler polish up a speech.  I have never heard anyone quite like him. Note that in the Knesset, there are religious parties connected to the rabbis.  Two are United Torah Judaism (Ashkenazi) and Shas (Sephardic).  These are NOT Kahanist. If you are interested in how  a similar logic works out in American culture you might listen to my podcast on the Replacement Wars. 

Zak Ebrahim was 7 when his father went to prison, initially for the attempted assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, while there it was discovered he had helped plan the 1993 World Trade Centre Bombing, alongside men like the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman. Now Zak speaks about his experiences, learning to let go of hatred and how he found peace. Produced by Audio Always Producer: Ailsa Rochester Editor: Jo Meek Sound Design: Ailsa Rochester

Israel needs a Kach prime minister now more than ever.  So is there a movement to lift the ban of Kach?  Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov – who served as chief of operations for Rabbi Meir Kahane (and his son) – says no such movement currently exists, but he argues that it may be unnecessary.  Circumstances are pushing Israelis into seeking Kahane-like solutions almost against their will, he says.Revolution or Referendum – Rabbi Kahane's last bookKahane on the Parsha

Israel-based journalist and researcher David Sheen joins The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal to explain the rise of followers of the late fascist Rabbi Meir Kahane and their role in the next Israeli coalition government. Sheen provides critical background on Bezalel Smotrich, an open ethno-supremacist who will run the Civil Administration of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and Itamar Ben-Gvir, settler extremist and terrorism convict, who will serve as National Security Minister. Sheen also provides insight on the role of Kahanism in the US Democratic Party, and the quiescent stance of the Biden administration in the face of Israel's descent into religious fanaticism.

The Jerusalem Post Podcast with Yaakov Katz and Lahav Harkov. Yaakov and Lahav debate Dave Chapelle's SNL monologue and whether Noa Kirel's Kanye West pleather pants are good or bad for the Jews, plus they discuss the latest in coalition talks. Guest Yossi Klein Halevi, author of Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist and many other books, discusses what drew him to Rabbi Meir Kahane in his youth, why he left the movement, and what we can learn about Itamar Ben-Gvir from his perspective. Our podcast is available on Google Play, Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Who was Rabbi Meir Kahane?  Where would he be if he hadn't been assassinated in 1990?  Would he have approved of Itamar Ben-Gvir?  Is kicking out the Arabs possible today?  Lenny Goldberg – an author, a settler, the father of eight (including two who sat in Israeli jail), and a baal teshuvah thanks to Rabbi Meir Kahane – weighs in on these questions and more.

With Israeli elections less than two months away, polls are showing that the Religious Zionist party, a coalition of religious ultra-nationalists and followers of the late, racist Rabbi Meir Kahane, could win as many as 13 seats, making it an indomitable political force. After a summer hiatus, For Heaven's Sake is back with Donniel Hartman, Yossi Klein Halevi, and Elana Stein Hain to ask about the causes of this unprecedented rise in religious fanaticism in Israel?

It's always fascinating to meet true academics with varied interests of the world at large. There is much going on today, and a great deal of it is that this has become a 'Me Generation,' where people don't care what anyone needs, as long as they are happy. When a brilliant young man chooses to write his dissertation about a politician who is quoted as saying “I would rather make another person happy than do anythingelse,” that gives hope that society has not been lost to the it's all about me generation. Our guest, Elliot Resnick holds a PhD degree in Jewish History from Yeshiva University. He chose to write a dissertation onCongressman Sol Bloom, and he explained in detail who this fascinatingCongressman was, and what he accomplished for Jews. Elliot also spoke in detail about the most interesting person he has interviewed. As the editor of Divrei Torah by Rabbi Meir Kahane and his son Rabbi Binyamin Kahane, Elliot discussed the inspiration behind it, and as the former chief editor of The Jewish Press why he is no longer there.

In part one of this two-part episode of FBI Retired Case File Review, retired agent John Anticev reviews his investigation into the 1990 murder of Rabbi Meir Kahane and his operation of an FBI confidential source who infiltrated an operational cell of Egyptian Islamic radicals. The cell's spiritual leader was Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, also known as the Blind Sheik. Members of this group, including Ramzi Yousef, were later found to be responsible for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. John also talks about the stress and frustration he endured during the 6-year FBI internal investigation into his handling of the confidential source, who, unknown to John, had recorded many of their conversations.

Although he came to prominence in Israel, as the undisputed emblem of the far-right, Rabbi Meir Kahane was a quintessential American Jew, claims Prof. Shaul Magid in his book, Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish radical.

“In pre-modern discussions of Judaism, identity is almost inextricably linked to observance. The whole notion of Jewish identity… it's like a modern idea.”— Dr. Elliot MalametThe 1960s were about more than hippie fashion and flower power. Divisions over the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights Movement, and the beginnings of second wave feminism sparked civil unrest, fearmongering, political handwringing, and, eventually, necessary social change.The 1960s also marked the emergence of the Jewish Defense League, and the rise of its founder Rabbi Meir Kahane as a controversial figure. Founded in 1968, the JDL advocated for an anti-Arab form of Jewish nationalism, one that denied all Palestinian claim to Israel, and preached violent resistance to anti-Semitism at home and abroad... including targeted killings.The JDL was classified by the FBI as a right-wing terrorist organization and Rabbi Kahane himself was assassinated at the age of just 58.This episode of the Living Jewishly podcast is an instalment of What Would You Do?, a podcast about Judaism and ethics.Dr. Elliot Malamet is joined by Professor Shaul Magid, Distinguished Fellow in Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College and author of a Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical. This conversation explores the ethics of radicalism and fanaticism, the DNA of Kahane's desired revolution, and the lingering echoes of his rhetoric today.“I don't think that Kahane really cared too much about religious observance. What he cared about was the commitment to fight for Jewish causes.”— Professor Shaul MagidThis‌ ‌episode discusses:‌ ‌The emergence of a Jewish identity non-reliant on observance — and how that tied into Kahane's ideas of revolutionThe difference between a radical and a fanatic, and how Kahane evolved over timeThe ideas put forward by Kahane that still live on today in many Orthodox populations  ‌  Highlights:‌ ‌00:51  Intro03:37  Shaul Magid & revolution 06:14  “American sham Judaism”07:47  Observance v. identity10:22  Basic ideas that live on14:49  Endemic anti-Semitism16:22  Two spheres of Kahane18:00  Judaism & the rhetoric of violence21:32  Post-Holocaust & Zionism22:38  Anti-Arab rhetoric & Israel26:11  “The failed American dream” 27:50  Kahane's time in Israel29:03  Radical v. fanatic30:55  Race in Israel32:59  Posthumous acceptance34:37  Culture of language36:55  Assassination & legacy41:05  Kahane's wars43:30  Tragic figure?Links:‌ ‌ Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radicalhttps://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691179339/meir-kahane To get in contact or learn more about Living Jewishly:  Visit‌ ‌our ‌website: https://livingjewishly.org  Follow us on Instagram: @living.jewishly  Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO2YEegjapKpQeXG6zh6tzw   or send us an email at hello@livingjewishly.org.    Shalom!

There are extremist group in Israel, even in the Knesset,  that trace their origins to Rabbi Meir Kahane.  Kahane was born in Brooklyn but moved to Israel and was elected to the Knesset.  He was later assassinated.  At the time, his views were considered shockingly extreme.  He was widely renounced by American Jews and by Israelis.  I heard Kahane speak twice in the Detroit area in the early 1980s.  I also read two of his books, Time to Go Home and They Must Go!  They were chilling  I also read quite a few essays by him.    As far as I can tell, those who embrace his name and his ideas are not fundamentally different from what I heard in the 1980s.   Kahane believed that anything is justified to bring the new age and to save the Jews.  I thought of the accusations by radical Iraqi Jews that the 1952 bombings of synagogues were done by Zionist commandos in an effort to panic them into fleeing to Israel.  I have no way to know if those accusations are correct but such a thing would surely be justified by Kahane.  He was filled with hatred of Arabs, Americans and secular Jews.  He believed in his cause and would do anything to achieve it.  He had a definite support base in the American Jewish community, although certainly not nearly as the vast proportion who were hostile to him.  I don't want to be inflammatory but I wrote in my notes back in the 1980s that I felt I was in a Munich beer hall in 1924 listening to Hitler polish up a speech.  I have never heard anyone quite like him. Note that in the Knesset, there are religious parties connected to the rabbis.  Two are United Torah Judaism (Ashkenazi) and Shas (Sephardic).  There are NOT Kahanist. If you are interested in how  a similar logic works out in American culture you might listen to my podcast on the Replacement Wars.

After years of being banned from Israeli politics for their embrace of terrorism and racist violence, followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane are making a comeback and joining the Israeli Knesset (parliament), thanks in part to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's embrace of the Kahanists for political gain. Host Diana Buttu speaks with investigative journalist David Sheen about who the Kahanists are and what the implications of their resurgence will be.

When Israeli citizens go to the polls on March 23rd, one thing they will be voting on is whether to bring followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane into the Knesset as part of a new party, “Religious Zionism.” The sudden political ascent of the Religious Zionism party was orchestrated by Benjamin Netanyahu in exchange for its support for keeping him in power, leading one Ha’aretz commentator to name him a “lobbyist for the Kahanist party.” featuring Amjad Iraqi (+972 Magazine), Professor Rabbi Shaul Magid (Dartmouth College and author of the forthcoming Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical), Natasha Roth-Rowland (University of Virginia) in conversation with Lara Friedman (FMEP).

The campaigns on behalf of Soviet Jewry commenced in the 1960's with the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry (SSSJ), but it was the onset of the next decade that the Meir Kahane led JDL jumped into the fray and things heated up. With Kahane's move to Israel, he attempted to bring the ideals that he developed over the years into fruition through entering Israeli politics. He finally got his political party Kach into the Knesset in 1984, with himself as its sole representative. There he unsuccessfully attempted to pass various legislative measures, until the Knesset ultimately passed legislation which effectively barred his party from running in subsequent elections. His assassination by a terrorist in 1990 while on a trip to New York brought his stormy life to a tragic end. His complicated legacy continues to cast a shadow on contemporary Jewish life till this very day.   Subscribe To Our Podcast on:   PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

One of the most complex characters of post war Jewish history was undoubtedly Meir Kahane (1932-1990). Controversial yet lover of the Jewish people, provocative yet charismatic, endorsed violence yet known for his brilliance and sense of humor, yeshiva educated talmid chacham yet trained Jewish militias to patrol the streets of New York, author of endless articles on Jewish activism yet also a sportswriter and Yankees fan. So many facets and even contradictions. His problematic legacy continues to hover over Jewish society till today. Born into a rabbinic and Zionist family and educated at Mir Brooklyn, he went to a short stint in the rabbinate in Queens. He later went on to found the Jewish Defense League (JDL), a controversial organization that was outspoken about combating anti Semitism and active in other Jewish causes as well.    Subscribe To Our Podcast on:   PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/   Follow us on Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites You can email Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com

Marina Cantacuzino talks to Zak Ebrahim. When Zak was seven, his father shot and killed the founder of the Jewish Defence League, Rabbi Meir Kahane and later was convicted for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Zak's story is one of transforming his past and learning to reject bigotry and hate.

It is a truism that struggle brings out unexpected powers from within us, and what's true in life is true in history as well.

Zak Ebrahim's first memories were of a dad who was playful and made the family laugh. But at the age of 7, Zak's father committed an act of hate so radical that he was publicly thanked by Osama Bin Laden. On November 5th, 1990 El Sayyid Nosair shot and killed Rabbi Meir Kahane, the leader of the Jewish Defense League. He was also convicted and sent to prison for his involvement in the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center that killed six people. After moving 20 times in 20 years, Zak changed his name and started a new life, taking painful lessons from the radicalization that surrounded his youth, and forging his own peaceful path of empathy and unity for all human-kind.

Tamar talks about a famous article written by Rabbi Meir Kahane z"l in 1972 entitled, 'Down with Chanukah'. In it, he talks about the hypocrisy of non-observant Jews who love celebrating the holiday, which, is actually about the right for Jews to BE Jews and keep the Torah commandments. What is the REAL and DEEPER meaning of this holiday? It's not just spinning a dreidle! Also, what is the leader of Turkey doing now, that will affect prices for oil and other goods?

Rabbi Moshe Stern is the Rabbi Emeritus of Shaarei Tefilah in Toronto. He was the President of the Toronto Va'ad Harabonim and a member of COR's Rabbinical Va'ad Hakashruth. Join him on the CORcast as he shares memories of his years in the rabbinate, including the time he invited Rabbi Meir Kahane to speak in his shul where he was arrested and taken to prison.

Can a seething hate be overcome? Is Esav’s kiss to Jacob real – or is it a cynical ploy? Should Jacob’s sons sack a city that raped their sister? Should today’s Israel strike Gaza with overwhelming force? Rav Mike Feuer joins Rabbi Yishai to hash it out. Then Rabbi Steven Pruzansky on the heroic life and harrowing times of Rabbi Meir Kahane.

“I know Jews who go to jail for blacks and Puerto Ricans and Chicanos and Pygmies. I know rabbis who went to Selma to get arrested. But I don’t know of a single rabbi who broke the law when the crematoria were being fed with twelve thousand Jews every day…Never again will Jews watch silently while other Jews die. Never again!” Thus thundered Rabbi Meir Kahane before a crowd of thousands at a rally for Soviet Jews organized by his militant Jewish Defense League (JDL). In that crowd was a teenager from Borough Park who found himself drawn to the JDL’s embrace of Jewish power and contempt for the American Jewish establishment. That boy, Yossi Klein Halevi, would later move to Israel and become one of the most prominent authors and writers on the Jewish scene—but not before taking a winding journey into and out of the fringes of the Jewish Right. In 1995, Halevi chronicled his experiences in the Soviet Jewry movement and the JDL in a remarkable book entitled Memoirs of a Jewish Extremist. Republished in 2014, the book traces the trajectory of Halevi’s life and thinking from his childhood in Brooklyn to a sit-in at the Moscow Emigration Office to his current home in Israel. In so doing, it provides a unique glimpse into the complex psychology of the generation of American Jews who came of age in the years immediately after the Holocaust. In this podcast, Halevi sits down with Tikvah Senior Director Jonathan Silver to discuss his memoir. As Halevi retells the story of what drew him into, and drove him away from, Meir Kahane and JDL, he helps us get a clearer picture of what the Jewish militants of the '60s and '70s got wrong about post-war American Jewry—and gives us valuable insight into what they got right. Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. 31a, composed by Paul Ben-Haim and performed by the ARC Ensemble as well as “Baruch Habah,” performed by the choir of Congregation Shearith Israel.

Zak Ebrahim speaks as part of the CREATE Distinguished Speaker Series. On November 5th, 1990, when Zak Ebrahim was seven years old, his father assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, leader of the Jewish Defense League. Although initially acquitted of the murder, while serving time on assault and weapons charges, Ebrahim's father began planning attacks on a dozen New York City landmarks including tunnels, synagogues, and United Nations headquarters. Thankfully those plans were foiled by an FBI informant. Sadly, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center was not. Ebrahim's father, El-Sayed Nosair would eventually be convicted for his involvement in the plot. As an adult, Ebrahim realized the only way to overcome the challenges of his past was to help others understand that hatred only produces more hate, but belief in non-violence heals. Those cycles of violence, no matter how old, do not have to continue forever. Ebrahim has twice spoken at TED events. The first event was at a talent search at TED@NYC in Oct 2013. "With quiet, mesmerizing sincerity, Zak Ebrahim told the story of being raised by an extremist father who would eventually be convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing - and how he used his personal encounters with other faiths and cultures to overwrite that narrative of hatred and bigotry. "Violence is not inherent in any religion or race," he says. "The son does not have to follow the father." He dedicates his testimony to all victims of terrorism.'" -The Quirky Talks of Ted, TED NYC BIOGRAPHY: Zak Ebrahim was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 24, 1983, the son of an Egyptian industrial engineer and an American school teacher. When Ebrahim was seven, his father shot and killed the founder of the Jewish Defense League, Rabbi Meir Kahane. From behind bars his father, El-Sayyid Nosair, co-masterminded the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Ebrahim spent the rest of his childhood moving from city to city, hiding his identity from those who knew of his father. He now dedicates his life to speaking out against terrorism and spreading his message of peace and nonviolence. In 2013, he participated in TED's talent search in New York City, and was selected to speak at the main conference, TED2014, in Vancouver, BC. His TED talk was released on Sept 9, 2014, in conjunction with his TED Book, The Terrorist's Son: A Story of Choice.

A comparison of the USA with Israel after King Solomon died. Advice regarding: 1. Israel; and, 2. the present and future economy. KAHANE, KING SOLOMON, KAHUNAS, KOVENANT & E-KONOMY MUSIC / INTRO RABBI MEIR KAHANE In 1975 I talked to Rabbi Meir Kahane's wife, Libby, on the phone in Jerusalem. She told me he was in New York. I changed my flight via Jerusalem to London to Chicago, and instead flew later to Frankfurt and then New York City. I wanted to help Kahane, who was the founder of the JDL (Jewish Defense League). Miraculously, when I was seated at the airport in New York, the man seated right next to me on the left was reading (I think) the New York Times. When I glanced at it, on the front page was an article about the arrest of Meir Kahane for carrying a firearm. I asked the man if I could borrow his newspaper briefly and found the name of Rabbi Kahane's attorney: Barry Slosberg? … or, Barry Slotsky? (I forget.) I called the attorney's office and spoke to the secretary. I told her I would be willing to speak in Meir Kahane's defense and give him a place to live with me and my family while awaiting trial. I wanted to help Kahane see a BETTER way to help Israel and the Jewish People. A way that would be pleasing to the LORD, and not one of bloodshed (except, of course, in the case of war, self defense, or helping defend the innocent). After Kahane had met with … and came to know … my friend, John (Jan) Willem van der Hoeven, he told him: “I now know who the real Christians are.” Rabbi Kahane said, “The real Christians (not those by just name or denomination or religious affiliation) are those who have experienced Messiah and who love Israel and the Jewish People.” I was not able to provide the assistance, and have often wondered what the change in course of Rabbi Meir Kahane's life … and his family … would have been had I been successful. KING SOLOMON King Solomon ruled in equity and mercy. He loved and honored the LORD. However, after the death of King Solomon in 931 BCE, their was civil war and the Kingdom was divided. They were prosperous and had a strong military. However, the Northern kingdom fell into gross idolatry and over a period of 200 years there were nine (9) different dynasties. (Compare this to the Southern Kingdom of Judah where there was only one dynasty: of the family of David.) None of the kings in the Northern Kingdom (Israel / Ephraim) were good. This 200 year period may be compared to the present day USA: prosperous (until recently); a strong military; and, a beacon of hope for the world. However, like the Northern Kingdom of Israel, the USA has turned its back on the LORD. For 200 years, the USA honored G-d publicly: in schools, in courts, in government. But … like the Northern Kingdom, the USA now finds NO favor with the LORD. Why? 1. Abortion clinics and government funding of the same (4,000 babies were murdered yesterday); 2. Prayer and Bible reading taken out of schools; 3. Wickedness in the media. 4. Government corruption; and 5. Deception on the part of leaders. MUSIC KAHUNAS Israel is getting stronger … but the USA is getting weaker. So WHY is Israel letting the US tell it what to do?! Read the Show Notes of (or listen to) my podcast of August 4, 2009: “Israel and Bibi: Beware the Five Blind Mice.” You will find my admonition to the leadership of Israel. Surprisingly, ex-Presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee, two weeks later (August 17) said in relation to the settlement issue basically the same thing I did: “My question is how would the government of the United States feel if Prime Minister Netanyahu began to dictate which people could live in the Bronx, which ones could live in Manhattan, and which could live in Queens?” “I’m not sure where we would get the authority to demand of the Israelis what they should do in their own country.” Asked if he would support an Israeli military strike against Iran, Huckabee said he “would support Israel doing whatever Israel needs to protect [itself].” He added that the United States would never want anybody to tell it the boundaries of how it can protect itself. “I think we can certainly advise as a friend to Israel,” he explained, “but we have no right to dictate and outright tell another country what it should or shouldn’t do. Heck, we don’t do that with North Korea!” Notice, this is basically the same comment I made two weeks earlier (August 4: “Never let your wife's lover tell you how to treat your wife! Bibi and Israel, stop letting people – the US, the EU, and the UN – tell you how to run your government. The US will NOT even tell North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela how to run their governments.” Israel, use the “kahunas” G-d has given you. Do what you have to and STOP letting the UN, the US, and the EU tell you what to do. MUSIC KOVENANT Bibi and Israel, stop leaning on foreign alliances. President Obama will NOT support you in the final outcome. He will turn his back on you. Again, do NOT let Iran gain time via negotiations or any other means. You can NOT trust them. They want to annihilate you. Just today, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, several hours before his scheduled meeting  with U.S. President Barack Obama, said that the Arab world will not make any gestures towards Israel until a regional treaty is signed. A Middle East peace pact must include Israeli agreement on the Arab demand for the right of millions of foreign Arabs to immigrate to Israel and the demand that the Palestinian Authority have control over all of eastern Jerusalem, Egyptian officials said. Remember what the LORD G-d has instructed you, Israel. “Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you go, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee.” (Torah: Exodus 34:12) E-KONOMY USA will foreclose on ONE MILLION homes in three (3) months. Next month 360,000 will be foreclosed. The US Government … and the US President … lie to the American people concerning the economy. Obama promised (among other things) during his campaign to always give the American public five (5) days to review any new legislation; however, he slipped through a trillion dollar bill during a holiday. This is what America deserves for electing a socialist-Marxist community organizer with NO experience in business, economics, military, or finance. Remember what I have warned you: This year, 2009, will appear that things are settling out on the economic scene. Hold on! In 2010 things will start to fall apart again. The Obama stimulus package will NOT be effective past 2009. The market will take a precipice dive. For the next five (5) to seven (7) years after 2009 you are in for HARD TIMES. The housing market will bottom out late 2012 to early 2013. It is inevitable that the US Dollar will die – so will the EURO. A NEW currency will evolve – a GLOBAL CURRENCY – with basis on precious metals, commodities, or real estate. For details on the economy and HOW to survive until 2015, listen to (or read the Show Notes of) my podcast January 27, 2009, titled: “Israel: Investments and Economy – Surviving the Next 7 years.” MUSIC KONCLUSION In the late 60's the slogan was: “Turn on – Tune in – Drop out!” Young people from all over the world came to Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco and Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Catholic young people were fed up with Catholicism … Protestant young people were fed up with Protestantism … Jewish young people were fed up with Judaism. The LORD raised me up at that time to reach out to thousands of these young people. When all seemed like loss … in the darkest hour … the Ruach Elohim (the Holy Spirit) descended … and multiplied thousands of teen age and university age young people had a definitive experience with the greatest revolutionary who ever lived: the Messiah of Israel, Yeshua ha Meshiach. Many went back to their families and homes and countries … to their synagogues and cathedrals and churches … and were an instrument of positive, spiritual change in society. Adam and Eve started the first religion in their attempt to be right with G-d. After man sinned in the Garden by disobeying G-d, Adam and Eve used leaves to cover their nakedness: to hide their consciousness of sin. However, the Creator G-d shed the BLOOD of innocent animals to cover them with the skins of animals. This was a picture – a type – of the Atonement: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.” (Torah: Leviticus 17:11) G-d has ordained that the BLOOD be the covering for sin. By the mercy of G-d, and through His love for us, the one time FINAL supreme sacrifice for sin has been made. When the spotless Lamb of G-d, Yeshua the Messiah, died on the cross stake in our place … for our sins … God's judgment was satisfied. “By his stripes we have been healed.” (Tanakh: Isaiah Chapter 53) It was the Gentiles who judged him and the Gentiles who killed him. But all – both Jew and Gentile – can now come to God by faith in His Atonement for us. Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.
