GEN1019 … those who argue that challenging God is sacrilegious and heretical betray an ignorance of holy writ.  Let them learn how the outstanding figures of the Bible reacted to injustice and suffering…they objected to God and interceded on the suffering party’s behalf.   Never once did they capitulate and bow their heads in pious obedience. … That the most righteous man on the earth could defend the most wicked and entreat God for clemency is a remarkable example that we should all take to heart.  If you are a biological or spiritual descendant of Abraham, then you cannot stand idly by and watch our neighbor suffer.   That would be a betrayal of everything Abraham stood for.   BOTEACH 206-7
