B”H
Heading out so this will be short: the biggest question I had when I BT’d (lots of false starts and restarts) was “if HaShem’s voice was so loud and booming at Sinai that it physically hurt the people’s ears, how did the later prophets, scribes, and priests know it was HaShem speaking to or through them?”
Later I realized the answer was simple: keep all the commandments and we will be like priests to HaShem. If it was possible for Moses to teshuvah, who lived like an Egyptian for many years and killed a man, then it’s possible for anyone.
I see the world significantly different now than a year ago and have so much more to learn (am properly caffeinated and ready for tonight!) thanks to you all.
Chag Sameach!
Chag Sameach everyone :)
