    The Schechina spoke through Moshe

    And through Yosef Caro.

    And through chazal when they determined the final decision in the gemora by majority. "It is no longer in shomayim". And when beis din established rosh chodesh.  

     Abd today through the decision of a beis din even though it isn't popular.

    This is the longest darkest golus and so the geula will be

    The longest brightest geula, the last and ultimate geula. Now!

      For a small little partial renovation one need only do a little demolition. Like just the kitchen. But, for a total house renovation one must demolish the whole house

    After Har Sinai there was a hatred to idolatry

    But....idolatry was one the 7 Noahide laws long before Har Sinai? 

    Hashem's seemingly nonanswer to Moshe why it became worse after Moshe began the redemption,  was basically to show that there will now be a deeper essence to essence relationship between Hashem and the yidden. Perhaps after that seeming suffering, pain and trauma,  like the increased burden of no straw, will be seen as goodness and love covered up with a superficial shell of seeming bad.

    "Motti v'lo motti"

    Motti must be rooted in infinity and approaches but then withdraws. 

    Infinity can approach but cannot remain with us, otherwise it's not infinity in a finite creation.  We can only have a hint of it, like a dream. 

    By definition infinity cannot be packaged up in a finite container,  in a finite mind, in a finite vort. 

    The more real and life like the dream the better we remember it later and can integrate.  

    Before renovation we must demolish. Like the sage who had to forget one Talmud before learning the  other.
