The Soviet Struggle: The Life & Times of Rabbi Meir Kahane Part II
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.
