JDL is the most controversial, yet the most effective, of all Jewish organizations. Founded in 1968 by Rabbi Meir Kahane,ZT"L,HY"D , the activist group has been instrumental in such issues as Soviet Jewry, Nazi war criminals, anti-Semitism/Jew-hatred & Jewish self-defense. JDL is a non-commercial, non-profit, volunteer organization. We rely solely on donations from our membership & our supporters.
