In her op-ed with Townhall.com, our President and Global CEO Yael fondly remembers the time she spent with Charlie Kirk, and the values they shared:
For me this loss is also personal. Just two months ago I sat with Charlie in his studio. The meeting was supposed to be fifteen minutes, then reduced to ten because his schedule was so full. He came in five minutes late, clearly stressed, yet he stayed with me for an hour and a half. In that time Charlie and I spoke about the truths that bound our work together: the dignity of every person created in God’s image, the sacredness of life, and our shared responsibility to defend them.
We spoke also about Israel, about its place in our covenant, but most of all about the values we shared. And in that conversation we became friends.
Our Scriptures teach that God spoke the world into being with words. Words carry divine power, to bless or to curse, to build up or to tear down. When words of hatred are unleashed, they do not remain words. They become actions. They become violence. They become blood.
