In his letter, the Chief Rabbi emphasized that Kirk always stood on the side of truth, justice, and the People of Israel, and even described him as an extraordinary figure whose modest yet firm approach influenced many.
Rabbi Yosef noted Kirk’s significant contribution to strengthening support for the State of Israel and combating antisemitism around the world, stating that the entire Jewish people share in the pain over the loss of such an important figure.
Alongside his words of comfort to Kirk’s wife Erika and their two children, the Chief Rabbi of Israel stressed that the heinous and brutal murder must be condemned by every human being, regardless of background.
Why did you not disclose that the letter in this article was altered? It was originally published with the date as September 2nd.
Why is the date 19 Elul, 5787, two years into the future?? The document does not make sense.
