In this eye-opening class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores a cryptic Midrash on the tragic deaths of Nadav and Avihu and how it unexpectedly shook the biblical figure of Job. Through this lens, we’ll uncover what this story teaches us about moral responsibility, the danger of silence in the face of injustice, and the timely relevance of speaking up — especially when it’s uncomfortable. With a nod to current events and a dose of Chassidic insight, this session challenges us to rethink what it really means to be a bystander.

Key Takeaways:

-Even silence can be a statement — and sometimes, a dangerous one.

-The Torah invites us to see not only the sin of action, but the sin of inaction.

-Ancient Midrashic voices still speak to modern struggles with injustice and moral clarity.

-Spiritual leadership begins with accountability — even for what we don’t say.

-In a world filled with noise, knowing when to speak can change everything.
