Memorial
Monday, November 13, 2006
Rabbi Mordechai Yitzchok Friedman, President of the American Board of
Rabbis, was a keynote speaker at the Rabbi Meir Kahane, zt"l, Memorial
held November 12, 2006 at the Jewish Center of Ocean Avenue in
Brooklyn, New York. Speaking to the crowded auditorium of loyal
"Kahanists" and religious leaders, Rabbi Friedman's presentation was
historic and inspiring.
Two weeks before the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the Jewish
Defense League, held a rally in front of the UN. Rabbi Friedman spoke,
followed by Rabbi Kahane. Rabbi Kahane told Rabbi Friedman he was
concerned about being permitted to enter the US since the government
of Israel created a law, that a Knesset member can't have double
citizenship. When Rabbi Friedman visited Israel, Rabbi Kahane would
come to meet with him at the Israeli Hotel. Rabbi Friedman would
accompany Rabbi Kahane at rallies in Israel, and was invited to have
kiddish on Shabbos, at Rabbi Kahane's residence in Kiryat Itri in
Jerusalem.
Rabbi Kahane had an arm in a sling and beneath his yarmulka was a
dressing, the Israeli security services assaulted Rabbi Kahane with a
warning, not to run for the Knesset. Rabbi Kahane gave Rabbi Friedman
a membership card of the Israeli Jewish Defense League in Israel, also
known as 'Tnuat Kach. Rabbi Kahane told him, humorously, one copy is
put into our files another one somehow finds its self in the Israeli
security services files. He coined the term "to every jew a 22." The
number 22, appears in the Talmudic tractate of Rosh Hashana (22:a),
"if gentiles await too ambush, Jews take weapons in hand." Rabbi
Kahane's ancestor, Pinchas the Kohen, assassinated a corrupt Jewish
president, Zimree ben Sulah. HaShem than declares, that a peace treaty
between them has therefore ensued.
Rabbi Kahane was an advocate of Jewish Defense and of Israel. The
Rambam wrote in his monumental Mishna Torah, in Nezkin, Hilchous
Chovale Umazik, Chapter 8, a 'moser' is one who turns over a fellow
Jewish person to the enemy,or turns over Jewish property to the enemy.
Such a person(s) have no place in the World to Come, and are destined
to Gehinnom (what Xtians call Hell). The Rambam further stipulates
such a person or persons(s) may be executed, for it is a mitzvah, and
whomever executes them first, is meritorious. Furthermore, the Rambam
states, even though we do not have the conditions for execution,
nevertheless, it is permissible and a mitzvah, and whomever executes
the 'moser' first is meritorious.
Rabbi Friedman indicated that the most precious Jewish property is the
land of Israel; anyone giving up Jewish holy land is to be executed.
In addition, the Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat (the definitive code
of Jewish Law, Volume of Jurisprudence) Hilchous Mabad Mamon, Chapter
388, states that a 'moser' is some one who turnsover a fellow Jewish
person, or Jewish property (most precious being the land of Israel),
has no place in the World to Come, and destined to Gehinnom (what
Xtians call Hell). Furthermore the Shulchan Aruch stipulates the
'moser' may be executed in any place, or era. Rabbi Friedman pointed
out, in Israel anyone who gives Jewish land away is to be executed!!!
When the dead will be revived, Rabbi Kahane will be with them, stated
Rabbi Friedman. The Prophet Ezekiel, in Chapter 37, graphically
details the resurrection of the dead. Indeed, the Prophet mentions
bone will combine with bone, sinews on them, flesh and skin, than the
spirit will be entered thru the nostrils. "And the almighty
declares... the Revived will come to Israel."
The Talmud in Sanhedrin 92:b, describes the mass revivcation is not
only for the days of the Moshiach (Messiah), but the revivcation also
took place in Bablyon. "The almighty instructed the prophet Ezekiel,
go forth, and revive the dead in Bikas Dura and Ezekiel revived the
dead in Bikas Dura." Bikas Dura was the Auschwitz in Bablyon under the
rule of Nebuchadnazer. He murdered many Jews and piled the remains in
Bikas dura. He had fashioned drinking vessels from the bones. When
Ezekiel ordered all the bones to come together the vessel
Nebuchadnazer was drinking from smacked him in the mouth. Ticheeyas
Hamaysim is for real for all worthy Jewish people. Rabbi Meir Kahane
will be among then at the time of coming of the Moshiach... may he be
a Maylitz Yoshare for Klal Yisroel.

During his lifetime, Rabbi Kahane,HY"D (may Hashem avenge his blood),
was not permitted a pulpit from which to speak in Orthodox shuls
across the USA. Who then is the "American Board of Rabbis," do they
represent American Orthodoxy, and if so does this mean they will allow
the DECEASED Rabbi Kahane to be lauded even though they condemned the
LIVE rabbi?
Yaakov K. in Y-m, saying "Kahane TZADAK!" (Rabbi Kahana was RIGHT!)

Probably a small group. Rabbi Freidman is probably as extreme on the
arab issue, as was Rabbi Kahane ztl hyd.
Apparently he differs on some things, he does not think all jews
should live in israel.
Rabbi Kahane ztl hyd had a huge funeral in israel.
Rabbi Avigdor Miller ztl (he was about 30 years older than kahane), he
said when he taught in yeshiva, he knew Rav Kahane, and he was a
talmud chacham. But they do not agree with him because he does not
follow "Daas Torah".
Rabbi Schiller, in an online audio I found, said that the policy of
agudat yisroel, has in the past been not to have a position. But it
is shifting to the right.
So we may indeed see them becoming more sympathetic to him, as jewry
is generally. But never lauding him, since he "did not follow daas
torah".
Rav Kahane used to say, there are no "gedolim"(as a group that all
agree). People follow their rav. In an audio he posed the rhetorical
question "If the satmar rebbe said one thing, and all the other
gedolim said something else, then who would the satmar chassidim
follow?". Another time somebody told him "Rav Shach says X". He
replied "If you want to follow rav shach, you can follow rav shach.
And while you are at it, ask him what you should do about your
television set".
He did believe that everybody should have a rav and one is bound by
his position - if he asks his rav. His rav was former sephardi chief
rabbi, Modechai Eliyahu. In Rav Kahane's words, a smicha does not
come with a telephone number. He has the knowledge, and he makes his
own decisions. Alot of the time he did not ask his rav questions on
certain issues, because he did not want to be bound by that decision.
Nevertheless, he did not follow Daas Torah, and on that he was a rebel
in their eyes. And they will never laud him. For that reason.
