To tell you the truth, I didn’t realize that d a was referring to a specific moment of silence, I thought he was just asking in general so I made a joke out of it. There is definitely a concept of stopping to think about certain things (one of the yetzer hara’s biggest weapons is making us too busy to stop and think) but I don’t know whether or not a public moment of silence has any basis in Judaism which is probably what d a was asking.
