Rethinking the Legacy of a Jewish Radical with Shaul Magid

Shaul Magid book on Rav Meir Kahane
Professor Shaul Magid's new book explores Rav Meir Kahane's lifelong struggle against the Jewish embrace of bourgeois liberalism and his lasting socio-political impact on the US Jewish community.

Rav Yehuda HaKohen is joined by Professor Shaul Magid of Dartmouth University to talk about his book, Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical. The two also discuss anti-Semitism, the revolutionary potential of Israel’s national-religious community, the Jewish relationship with bourgeois liberalism and the crisis of Liberal Zionism following the collapse of the two-state paradigm.

Rav Yehuda also shares his own political journey from the Jewish Defense League to his current project aimed at formulating what Jewish liberation can look like in a post-Zionist era.
