Libby Kahane's bio of her husband

[Mifletzet]

Any indication when Libby Kahane's autobiography on Rav Kahane will be coming out? Will it be in English or Hebrew?

Is it likely to contain stuff we don't already know, unlike Friedman's unflattering work?

Is Libby herself still a Kahanist? Was she ever?

What was her opinion of her son BZ doing his best to follow in his father's footsteps?

These are good questions for Chaim. But why not e-mail her and ask: [email protected]

Some true facts. Some interesting things. But a load of bullsh!t.

what was true? I'm seriously going to read it some time....

[Mifletzet]

Rav Kahane was a genius and he died a complete tzaddik.

But like all tzaddikim, he may have had flaws and backsliding in his past.

Whilst Friedman writes with nasty bias, is anything here http://www.lukeford.net/profiles/profiles/meir_kahane.htm
basically correct about Rav Kahane's past?

  I read some of Friedman's book.  I had no idea what it was going to be about.  I was looking for anything I could find on Kahane at my local library. 
  It is true, most of the book puts him in a very bad light.  I sincerely hope that most of the book's claims are false.
  It does have some very good pictures of Rav Kahane, and even a cool picture of Chaim from the mid 1980's!  "Crazy Jews"

what a bunch of bull****, they claim kahane had a lot more support than he actually did. Further it is utterly irrelevant (even if it were true), if Kahane did have affairs etc., what matters is the idea and the idea is pure regardless of the leader.

Most of Friendmans book, was rubbish. Ask Chaim about it, he seems to know alot about it.

so you actually read it?

We see that even some of the sages in the Talmud were once "a bit of a lad" in their earler days, even with gentile prostitutes.

Was R.Kahane actually an FBI agent against subversives in the 60s, going under the name of Michael King?

[kahaneloyalist]

The book is lies, that quotes from Rabbi Kahane's enemies to make absurd claims against a true Tzadik. I have spoke with a number of the Rav's bodyguards and all of them said that while women chased him he always refused their advances.

And Friedman was an Arab homesexual who died of AIDS.

The ADL informed on JDL. Some others did too including a self-hating Jewish cop for the NYPD. He wrote a book about it. I think his name was Richard Rosenthol.

The John Birch Society.

[kahaneloyalist]

The John Birch society was actually a Nationalistic and antisemitic organization that's why the Rav infiltrated them

Is that a leftist organization or why were the Jewish leftists critical of him informing on this society?

[Yisrael]

It is/was very right wing.

Vito claims they changed and now support Israel.
