I don't recall Chaim speaking of this guy
Do any of you have information about his role in the movement?

Re: CBP: JDL led by "amateurs" from 1971-1984

Let us try and put things in perspective. 1- If Chaim had a vibrant JDL in 1987 that is wonderful. I have not heard of this, but then I was in Israel. While I worked closely with the Rav, the subject of JDL did not come up after 1984- 1985 or so.
At that time, the Rabbi did discuss with me the lack of leadership in the US and we did discuss some common names of people we knew as far as who could accept the mantle of leadership in the states. Three names were discussed and Chaim was not one of them. I also remember the severe distress when Ken Sidman head of Kach passed away, also in the 80s and the Rav was truly in mourning and he felt we had lost a very key leader in the states. In truth, we did not discuss American JDL issues other then a few rare occassions. We focused on Kach operations, the Kach youth group and training camps, the yeshiva, the state of Judea and the various programs, projects in Israel...
