In this heartfelt episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed reflect on the legacy of Charlie Kirk — a man of deep integrity and conviction, whose belief in giving everyone a platform was both admirable and, at times, complicated. Pesach shares personal memories of his relationship with Charlie, including a moving story about their very first conversation, when Pesach explained a teaching on the Sabbath and the Ten Commandments that left a lasting impression.
