Meir Kahane, American Radical?

Yehuda Kurtzer chats with Hartman senior fellow Shaul Magid (Dartmouth College) about his new book “Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical” which offers an intellectual history of American Judaism and its political challenges – liberalism, race, communism, Zionism, radicalism – the poles through which American Jews have traveled in the past 60 years. Can the story of a radical thinker and controversial politician shed light on the Jewish experience in the US and, later, in Israel?
