A new monthly magazine, “Kahane,” which espouses the views of the Jewish Defense League founder Rabbi Meir Kahane, appeared here today. The magazine, whose first issue runs 24 pages and describes itself as “The magazine of the authentic Jewish idea,” is written and edited in Jerusalem and New York and published in the U.S. Kahane is the editor and Geraldine Alperin is the managing editor.
In the last few weeks, two Jewish student newspapers also made the scene. At New York University members of the Jewish Culture Foundation, the umbrella organization for all Jewish campus groups at the university, founded “The N.Y.U. Jewish Pride.” According to a statement in its first issue, this newspaper will be published monthly and will serve as a forum for all Jewish student activities on the campus. Howard Stephen Barbanel is editor-in-chief and Faith Fisher is associate editor.
At the American University in Washington, D.C., “The Jewish Pickle” was launched as “A paper of Jewish concern for all concerned,” published in conjunction with the American University Jewish Studies Program. An open letter to the reader explained that the choice of the word “pickle” is meant to convey the Jewish predicament or plight. Ron Brown is the managing editor and David Slobodien is assistant managing editor.
