WATCH: Understanding Jewish Radical Meir Kahane: A Book Talk with Author Shaul Magid YouTube, Oct 14, 2021 — Join My Jewish Learning for a talk with Jewish studies professor Shaul Magid about his new book  “Meir Kahane: The Public Life and Political Thought of an American Jewish Radical.”

Reinventing the Canonical: The Radical Thinking of Jacob Taubes:  Martin Treml, From the book ‘Escape to Life’  Published by De Gruyter 2012 — Jacob Taubes (1923–1987) was no less than one of the most controversial figures of German Jewry after the Shoah, a professor of philosophy and an intriguing intellectual, a maniac driven by impulses of almost demonic force, and a reckless womanizer.
 
How the Ghosts of the Holocaust Haunted the 1960s, But Quietly: Atina Grossmann, Tablet, Sept. 18, 2014 — In so many ways, it seems that the Holocaust is much closer to us, in memory and consciousness, now, so many decades later, than it was then when our parents carried its fresh scars and their children, who came of age in the 1960s, were all about changing the world, heedless of their anxious memories and associations.
