Or Hara'ayon=the Jewish Idea

Or Hara'ayon - The Jewish Idea More than an other book written by Rabbi Meir Kahane, Or Hara'ayon, The Jewish Idea, expresses the axioms which were the essence of his being. When a terrorist put an end to his life in 1990, he was in the process of completing this major work. The fundamentals of Jewish faith which he set forth in this volume, such as humility, faith and trust, kindness, revenge, self-sacrifice, and sanctifying G-d's name, were not abstract theories but the day-to-day guidelines of his life.While most widely known for his Jewish activism and controversial beliefs, The Jewish Idea reveals the erudite scholarship and mastery of Torah which was the source of Rabbi Kahane's untiring activities.The novelty of The Jewish Idea is not in the newness of the topics discussed, but rather in the unique manner in which they are presented. The total, unreserved compliance to G-d's will without any personal considerations, and the willingness to sacrifice for the Jewish People, permeate each and every chapter of the book. Originally written in a rich Hebrew, and culled from the holy words of the Torah, the Talmud, the Midrash and commentaries, the book was first published posthumously in Israel by the Institute for Publication of the Writings of Rabbi Meir Kahane. The Jewish Idea will surely take its place in the library of outstanding Torah thought.
