Rabbi Ingber focuses on the phrasing in the Torah that Moses is not told to "go" to the Pharaoh, but that he is to "come" to him. This leads to a discussion of paradoxes and how the Hasidic masters said that God is in the void or the absence--and that silence was how to approach the issue. But Rabbi Ingber says silence can be dangerous, as it can essentially show apathy and not standing up for others, and a fine line needs to be walked between the silence and activism.Category
