Charlie Kirk was more than a political leader—he was a man transformed by faith, family, and conviction. I first met Charlie at America Fest in 2023, when he surprised our small Shabbat dinner by showing up and sharing how deeply the Jewish Sabbath had impacted his life. Despite being one of the busiest and most in-demand voices in America, Charlie shut down every Friday night—turning off his phone, stepping away from the world, and spending 24 hours with God and his family. He even began writing a book titled Stop in the Name of God about the meaning of Shabbat and how it reshaped his priorities.

But Charlie’s legacy wasn’t only spiritual—it was also political and deeply courageous. He was one of the few leaders in the America First movement who consistently stood up for Israel, despite facing harsh criticism from both his allies and detractors. On campuses, in debates, and in private, Charlie defended Israel with clarity and strength, knowing it would bring him endless attacks. His very last meeting, just hours before his tragic assassination, was dedicated to preparing himself to defend Israel against the hostility he knew was coming. This video is a tribute to Charlie Kirk’s faith, his fight, and the void his loss leaves behind.
