The Wit and Wisdom of Rabbi Meir Kahane –

by Lenny Goldberg

Rabbi Meir Kahane was known for his eloquent speeches and unique sense of humor. He seemed to have a comment--sagacious or humorous--on just about anything that mattered. This concise compendium offers his astute observations on subjects ranging from baseball to anti-Semitism. Many of his pearls of wisdoms and jokes were told in spontaneous situations, where he was directly challenged or heckled. Many of his great lines were in the context of organized debates. It is here we really see his genius as he destroys his opponents in verbal repartee. All his comments have a point, even as they make you smile. 

A few examples: "It is better to have a strong Israel that is hated by the whole world, than an Aushwitz that is loved by it"; "A Jewish fist has to be attached to a Jewish head"; "I am not disappointed with the people who disagree with me. I am disappointed with the people who agree with me, but are too mired in their apathy and inability to escape their tiny lives."   

The 223 page book is broken down into four segments focusing on a segment of his life, and his preceded by a detailed biography. The average length of each story is a page or shorter. Because of the style of the book, one need not read it straight through, as it can be picked up and put down easily.
