In a previous post at the Seforim blog, Dan Rabinowitz offered his review of Elliott Horowitz (of Bar-Ilan University and co-editor of Jewish Quarterly Review), Reckless Rites: Purim and the Legacy of Jewish Violence (Princeton University Press, 2006) -- available here -- and this past shabbat at Kehilat Rayim Ahuvim on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Horowitz delivered a lecture entitled "Was the Massacre at Mercaz Ha-Rav Committed by Amalekites?"
For those who missed this lecture (myself included), you can read his "Between Hebron and Jerusalem," posted at JewSchool.com, and available here.
