Rabbi Binyamin Kahanes Yartzeit

[muman613]

Last Shabbat (December 31) was the memorial of the date that Rabbi Binyamin Kahane was assassinated near Ofra 12 years ago...

The son of the great Rabbi Meir Kahane was the natural leader to take over the Kahanist mission. Rabbi Binyamin was harassed and hounded by the leftist Israel leaders and it was because of this that he and his wife were murdered...

Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane

Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane (Hebrew: בנימין זאב כהנא‎, born 3 October 1966, died 31 December 2000) was a rabbi and the son of Rabbi Meir Kahane.

Born in New York City, he emigrated to Israel with his family at the age of four, in 1971. He was a young Israeli Orthodox Jewish scholar and rabbi who was most famous for his leadership of Kahane Chai, a far-right political party that broke from his father's Kach party after Meir Kahane's assassination in 1990.

Kahane was the author of The Haggada of the Jewish Idea, a commentary based on his father's teachings of the Passover Haggadah read at the Passover Seder. He wrote a Torah portion sheet called Darka Shel Torah ("The Way of the Torah") that was distributed for the weekly Torah portions. He was several times convicted by Israeli courts for advocating violence against Arabs[1].

He and his wife Talya were shot and killed near the Israeli settlement of Ofra on 31 December 2000. A statement issued by the Prime Minister's Office in 2001 announced the arrest of three members of Force 17 who were allegedly involved in the killing. According to the statement, PLO leader Col. Mahmoud Damra was responsible for arming and instructing the three men, who were identified as Talal Ghassan (a senior Force 17 member in Ramallah) Marzouk Abu Naim and Na'man Nofel. However, in 2007 Khaled Shawish was arrested for the attack.[2] Their 6 children are being raised by Talya's younger sister and her husband in the family's home in Kfar Tapuach.


May both Rabbi Meir Kahane and his righteous son Rabbi Binyamin both have complete peace in Gan Eden, may their vision of the Jewish people in their homeland be realized speedily and in our days...
