Part One:

Charlie Kirk and the Wandering Jewish Soul.

Charlie Kirk’s voice first grabbed me on the radio—wiser, cunning, full of courage and genius. The day he praised Dennis Prager’s Rational Bible, I heard it: not just a Christian firebrand, but a hidden Jewish soul. Kirk loved Jewish thought more than anything, knowing the Tanakh gifted the world God’s light. Even when we’d clash—like him pushing pastors to say Jews need Jesus—he spoke from a deep Torah well, defending Israel’s worth and America’s Sephardic roots. Think Haym Salomon bankrolling the Revolution. He followed Orthodox rabbis, wove Genesis into the Constitution, and explored Jesus’s Jewish kin. Until his murder, he was that wandering spark—evangelical yet echoing Jewish grit.

What America just felt is what the Jewish people have felt a million times over. For 3500 years and even in the times of Abraham going back 4000 years. Jews have seen our greatest minds killed for thoughts and words. The are a thousands of Charlie Kirk’s today in Israel. I have heard them teach Torah and science and philosophy.

Each day the war in Gaza goes by we the Jewish people loose a another Charlie Kirk. On this Rosh Hashanah 5786 may Hashem hear the cry of the widows and the orphans and the blood of our martyrs “Kiddish Hashem”. Hear the cry of Israel and the Shofar.

Charlie Kirk and his Jewish soul cries out for our redemption. La Shanah tovah tikatev v’taihatem.
