Rabbi Silber's Parsha Thought on Nitzavim, "Hidden from Myself," opens with the pasuk distinguishing "hanistaros," the hidden things that belong to Hashem, from "haniglos," the revealed things entrusted to us, and teaches that our job is not to solve life's hidden mysteries but to do good in the realm of the revealed. He brings a striking read of the "hidden tzaddik": true hiddenness isn't concealing your righteousness from others, it's not even knowing you have it, and argues that each of us carries a tzaddik inside whom we've never met. Entering Rosh Hashana, he challenges listeners to stop living only as their familiar surface self and find the courage to uncover the greatness hidden within.
