I know of him.  He is a right wing Rabbi who heads up the organization Toward Tradition, which works with conservative Christian groups.  He also wrote the excellent book America's Real War, about the destructive effects of secular humanism on our country.

Well I think nothing bad of the guy. He seems like a decent man. I used to listen to radio show, Toward Tradition. Other than that he is very pro Israel.

Is Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior" supposed to be similar?

Yes Yacov he is Orthodox. He is originally from South Africa. Only thing I don't like about lapin is that he tries to focus alot on the US. I think, as with all Jews, he should go to Israel.
