Losing Lyber Katz, Our Iron Man

September 6, 2014lawrencebush

by Lawrence Bush His name meant “beloved,” and hearing it always evoked a soft feeling in me, yet I thought of Lyber Katz as the iron man of the Jewish left. As long as he was around, I believed, Camp Kinderland would never sink into the mud, and Jewish Currents would never cease to publish. […]
