He was also on the faculty at the University of Judaism in California, and was in the eighties the head of the Congregation B'nei Yeshurun on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, The following speech delivered in the mid 1980s to an American Rabbinial assembly, is representative of Meyer's political stance, and of his view of Judaism as a religion that travels beyond geographical borders, languages, and ideologies. As he states it himself, his views often brought him enemies, and he was derided by his opponents as "a Communist Rabbi."
