Charlie Kirk’s Wife’s Daring Statement

It went viral. Everyone knows about the Charlie Kirk incident that is quite familiar amongst the whole entire world. But what is less familiar is what happened in an auditorium in a stadium in front of 300,000 people when the wife Mrs. Kirk of the wife of Charlie Kirk Mrs. Kirk actually went ahead and based on writings in the gospel I was informed was went out and said that I officially am I forgive the killer for what he did. Now in Jewish literature this is not so simple. We have rules and ramifications for everything including when one should be m when one should forgive someone for doing something. Even a Jew that does something that is an is you're allowed to hate him if he does it a blatant isur something that is completely off the books he has a status of a rash. And when you're dealing with a Jew so you're supposed to hate the actions maybe not the person himself as opposed to a who does an action like this. So we have a rule clearly that every has to keep seven mitzvah no only seven not 613 straightforward not killing adultery stealing and the like and if they are over one of them if they don't keep to one of them so then then they immediately deserve to be killed for what they are doing which is exactly what this person deserves the death penalty which hopefully the state over there which has the death penalty will give it to him for what he definitely deserves. If a person even is wants to and do chuva at the end of the day if he's the death penalty is there there's one other an important point to mention is that we have a rule that the rabbis bring very often if someone has raman if someone has pity on people who are not deservant of pity who are who are cruel so then in the end of the day you will be cruel to those people that deserve pity a person has to know there are guidelines and boundaries in everything we do and everything has to be done in the right time and place and we don't st give ma just because it sounds good on on tape or because it has to do like that person has to know when and where especially as the mish brings down in the in the laws of forgiveness he brings it if the person doesn't come to ask forgiveness and this so maybe necessarily you do not you're not required to come and give forgiveness having said that since this happened exactly during this time period when we are sitting in the 10 days of repentance it is kadai that we should learn from this to build from this that if someone who is not Jewish can do such a event even though she probably did not mean it I think it was more just because it was written in the book and b it was for the microphone and for the publicity a little bit but I'm not going to try to be facitious in the end of the day we have to go ahead and learn from this the important that is brought during this time period and that is that whenever we say the 13 of we say we say the 30 m of repentance of mercy in front of Hashem. We say Hashem. Hashem. Why do we say the name Hashem twice? Because the Gmorrah says in Rosh Shaan 17a that it says Hashem before the before the sin. And Hashem is after the Hashem our God does the same before and after. What does that mean? That even after we sin, he erases the sin so much that he doesn't even feel it. Whenever you have a fallout with Lenu, your spouse or a friend, someone that you were very close to, but you had a serious fallout between you. Yes, eventually hopefully you make amends. But even after the amends are made, we always know there's just it's just not the same. It's not what it used to be. I can't, you know, I can't forget it. It can't put it behind me. those those those those grudges those belligering types of frustrations still remain in the back of your mind says the this is what we say when we say the 13 midotem that Hashem erases he forgets it as if it didn't exist we start a fresh slate he wants us to build ourselves from fresh again and he doesn't hold any grudges incredible how Hashem is capable of doing such a thing and how are we to this says and daffod 17 the rule and how we are able to get to such a stage that Hashem will give us a full aqu quiddle he'll be able to acquit us which is something we're begging for it keeps us alive for the whole entire year it gives us a profitable year in every type of way so the says if a person is willing to relinquish on his frustrations on his irritations at someone else someone who deserves it for me to be angry at him cuz he embarrassed me or he said something incorrect or he did things that were out of place and I'm a person goes ahead and lets it go and when he comes to apologize they say no problem let's be friends again and I try to make it up with him we go so to someone who even someone who did something wrong and he did in the wrong way but he's no you carry the iniquity again for someone who did something like speaking incorrectly or this not extreme So then such a person is deservant of receiving the same way reciprocated back to him because you are willing to relinquish to your friend that relinquishes to you. He's willing to go ahead and oversee what you did to a certain extent and erase it scot-free, which is something that is so important and so fantastic to be able to get such a level as the Torah writes. And with this, I'm finishing that to realize that when we say in the we say who is like you what does it mean? Who is like you? It means that even though I'm sitting and doing something wrong to Hashem, he still keeps me alive. My the person's heart is pumping, his pulse is going, his lungs are breathing, and even in the process when he's going ahead and rebelling and doing something incorrect to Hashem, Hashem still has. So yes, we do have to learn the lesson of of acquiescing, of understanding the needs of someone else, of doing things. When a person does an act of rishoot of absolute evil, you always have to check up with your rabbi when and where, but especially in this case, especially when it's a to a there's not much of a question about it that there's no room for forgiveness. But in the end of the day, we do have to learn from this idea. And I have no question that that's why this thing abrupted at this stage in order to teach us that yes, we can do it. It's not easy. Sometimes it's frustrating and sometimes we don't know how or why or to what extent the person did what he did and it hurts. He hurt he hurt me. But in the end of the day if I'm able to give it over you hurt au then aju will also acquies to you also will also give forgiveness to you. That is the power of being able to beem not only saying the words but living them before the because I also am going to go ahead and pull that forgiveness which I want to do on someone else. I'll end with a a story from the state who lived approximately 60 70 years ago who was intar about 50 60 years ago and he was the biggest in the whole was unbelievable and there was another person there who was so jealous of him so he rigged him up with the cleaner lady over there and he paid her he said I'm going to pay you a nice hefty amount if you can go ahead and say god forbid to say that themed that was uh inappropriate with you with inappropriate. She needed the money desperately and she went ahead and said I will do it. So she went ahead and started telling people in the around about themed and how out of place he was etc. And he stayed still he stayed quiet. Eventually this person within that week within that week the person who set her up he had a quick heart attack and he died immediately very quickly. This the story was stood by Michelle Madrron who knew about the story firsthand. The lady admitted that she was being held up to the uh to this and he was willing to pay her. She ended up not getting her money because the guy died. A she ended up losing her job because they fired her for lying in the first place and she admitted that she lied. But at the same time, this day had no to that person. He wasn't upset with the person. On the contrary, he said not to make it a public affair. don't let them know what he did because he felt bad for his widow. He didn't want his widow to understand what he had done. So he was very maked very stringent to make sure that things are quiet. Sometimes a person has to know not to always have the last word. It's hard. I get frustrated when I'm in the house. I get irritated when I'm by the neighbor. I get annoyed by the rabbi or by the person sitting next to me in sh. We got it. We've all got those frustrations. Things happen all the time. It doesn't work the way we want it. But a person who knows how to control those frustrations, how to put them in place, how to understand and see things in the big picture. on yum keeper with
