Hi, this is David Alowski with our new question and answer segment where we answer questions, listeners questions that have been sent in. Anonymous asks, "What is the Torah perspective on the death of Charlie Kirk?" I I have to tread very lightly here because I don't believe that I'm in a position to state the Torah position on anything. I merely repeat, you know, what I may have heard from other people and I have not heard from any Gdulli Torah what their position is on this. So I can share my own thoughts. Whether or not they're the Torah perspective, I can't tell you. But they're the my own perspective. Let me start by saying the following. Yeah. Charlie Kirk did a tremendous amount for the Jewish people. He was went out publicly and defended CL Israel, Jews in general and for many many years. and a Jewish friend of his, I heard him in an interview and he said this wasn't stam, this was part of his philosophy and he believed very strongly just like if you heard Ted Cruz uh say I learned in Sunday school that if you're good to the Jewish people, God is good to you, you know, and Charlie Kirk believed that on a level. So the fact that he was assassinated for going out and speaking on behalf of morality. Yeah. Was he a Christian? Yes. Do we believe in Christianity? No. But I have to tell you in our line of work, friends are few and far between. And when you have somebody who's willing to stand up in a forum and speak out on behalf of Caira, that person deserves all of the respect that we can give him
