Chief Rabbi Condolence Letter — Full Page

Scan of an official condolence letter on Israeli rabbinical letterhead with highlighted passages

What This Image Shows

This is the full-page scan of the condolence letter that the Mossad sub-cluster is built around. It is written on the official letterhead of David Yosef, the Rishon LeZion Chief Rabbi of Israel and President of the Great Rabbinical Court, addressed to the family of Charlie Kirk, in bilingual English and Hebrew with official seals. Several passages are highlighted in yellow, and a circular watermark overlays the lower-left of the page.

The letter expresses sorrow at "the murder" of Kirk and describes him as a man who "devoted his full heart and soul to making the world a better and more just place." The highlighting is on the dateline, which is the reason this document circulates at all: it carries the Hebrew date 9 Elul, 5785 and a corresponding secular date of September 2, 2025 — eight days before the assassination.

Before that is read as foreknowledge, note the ordinary explanation. Hebrew-to-Gregorian conversion errors on letterhead are routine clerical mistakes, and the letter itself was published after the killing, not before. The document has not been authenticated by any investigating body, and nothing in it indicates that anyone knew anything in advance.

See the sub-cluster Mossad, which holds the posted version of this letter, and Mossad.
