Kanye West Apologizes for Antisemitic Remarks to Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto

A famous musician named Kanye West, who used to be called Kanye, said some very bad things about Jewish people a little while ago.

He recently met with a wise rabbi named Yoshiyahu Pinto.

During their meeting, Kanye said he was very sorry for the hurtful things he said.

He explained that sometimes his mind, which has a condition called bipolar, made him say extreme things.

He told the rabbi he wanted to take responsibility for his mistakes.

The rabbi explained that in his religion, Judaism, people can always say sorry and try to make things right.

Kanye thanked the rabbi for listening and for helping him start to fix the damage he caused.

This is like cleaning up a big mess you made in the house; it's your job to fix it.

The rabbi shared that his religion teaches that it's important to try and correct wrongdoings.

Kanye hopes this is the first step in rebuilding trust.
