The Qatar Bombing & Charlie Kirk: A Powerful Lesson for Life
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
This week, two major events sparked deep reflection: the bombing in Qatar and the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, a proud American who stood for biblical values and morality. Charlie Kirk was not a Shabbat observant Jew, but he promoted the idea of a “mental reset” inspired by the Bible. At the same time, stories circulated from Qatar that those who survived were those without their phones, sending us a clear message: we must reclaim focus, family, and faith in an age of constant distraction. In this video, we explore the deeper meaning behind these events, the Torah’s timeless guidance, and why sometimes the greatest strength is in putting the phone away.
