משך חכמה — ויאמר ה' מסיני בא... תורה צוה לנו משה

Q — How is the tension resolved between "כפה עליהם הר כגיגית" (a forced acceptance, leaving a "מודעא רבה לאורייתא") and "קימו וקבלו היהודים" — a renewed acceptance in the days of Achashverosh?

A — At Sinai, Israel reached the highest hashagah and SAW Torah as the necessary basis of existence — but their claim was that they could only sustain such acceptance in that revealed state ("מימינו" = right hand = open nissim); when divine governance is hidden in nature ("ידי יסדה ארץ" = left hand = הסתר), the original commitment could be disclaimed. In Esther's days, with hashgachah hidden and Israel enslaved to Achashverosh, yet they gave their very lives — THAT became קבלה שלמה. Hence "אף חובב עמים" — when Hashem favors the nations and Israel suffer, yet "ישא מדברותיך," THEN Torah becomes "מורשה קהילת יעקב," eternal inheritance against which no modaa works.
