The Torah tells us that Hashem appeared to Avraham Avinu at Elonei Mamre. But it never tells us what Hashem said. What kind of revelation takes place without a single word?

In this week's Even Shlomo on the Parsha, Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David explore a remarkable teaching from Reb Shlomo Carlebach and the Ishbitzer tradition about what it really means to encounter Hashem.

What happens when the world around us feels unbearably dark? How do we recognize Hashem's presence in moments of suffering and uncertainty? And when something deep inside us cries out for change, what might Hashem be asking of us?

A moving and deeply relevant learning for Parshat Vayera about the presence of Hashem and what it can awaken within us.
