Rabbi Meir Kahane: My Rebbe (That I Never Met)

Contemporary "pop popularity" aside, despite the presence of "Kahane Tzadak" slogans and stickers plastered on walls throughout the country, the vast majority of respectable "right-wing" Jews opposed Rabbi Kahane during his lifetime. Many condemned him. Very few synagogues gave him a pulpit to speak, even rarer were those individuals with influence who courageously supported him. During his lifetime, mainstream Jews viewed him as a pariah. This is my portrait of a genuine Jewish hero, first published in "The Jewish Press" in 2014:  http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/columns/fuchs-focus/rabbi-meir-kahane-my-rebbe-that-i-never-met/2014/11/10/
