Meir Weinstein Biography

Meir Weinstein is one of the most popular and richest Imam who was born on August 18, 1957 in Canada.

Weinstein has been leader of the Canadian JDL since the late 1970s, but formerly used the pseudonym “Meir Halevi”. He joined the JDL, at the age of 20, after reading Meir Kahane’s book Never Again. Previously an assimilated Jew, Weinstein began attending synagogue regularly, began studying Jewish texts and became more involved in the Jewish community as a result of reading Kahane’s book. He founded the Toronto JDL branch in 1979. He told the Jewish Press in 2008: “I will always be a loyal disciple of Rabbi Kahane. Our ideology is based on the Jewish Idea as taught by Rabbi Kahane.” Under his leadership, the Canadian JDL has held annual commemorations honoring Kahane’s life and ideas.

In the mid-1980s, Weinstein travelled to Alberta on several occasions in an attempt to organize the Jewish community against antisemitic activity in the province – particularly, against the activities of Aryan Nations organizer Terry Long. He received national media attention in 1986 when he picketed “AryanFest” when it was held on Long’s Alberta compound. The previous year, Weinstein had held meetings in Edmonton in an attempt to organize a JDL branch there. During one of the meetings he shouted down Rabbi Haim Kemelman, leader of Edmonton’s Beth Shalom synagogue, after he criticized the JDL’s methods and called Weinstein a “carpetbagger” and alleged he was trumping up a non- existent crisis of antisemitism in an attempt create an Edmonton JDL branch. “Those kinds of rabbis, those kind of Jews, in the end they dig a grave for Jews,” said Weinstein who accused the rabbi of being “rude and extremist”. “You see, I am silenced,” the rabbi was reported as saying to a reporter after the incident, adding, “that is the JDL.”

At the second demonstration the pro-Palestinian counterdemonstrators were joined by 20 children. Palestine House president Rashad Saleh said the demonstrators “should be the ones who should be ashamed. (They) are coming here and terrorizing our little children.” Weinstein argued that the children had been brought out as “pawns” by Palestine House and claimed that the organization his group was picketing used its charitable status to fund the Palestine Liberation Organization. “The people standing across the street are those who support the murders of Jews,” said Weinstein to a reporter.
