It's for us humans to finish what Hashem made unfinished, just like we harvest wheat to make bread.
When the Angel Attacked Moses

Yes, that was the first time Moshe heard Hashem speak to him.
The Cairo Geniza
Q: Did they find any works from Maimonides?
Yes, multiple letters and manuscripts from Maimonides were found in the Cairo Geniza, including his Halakhic responses.
The Cairo Geniza
Q: How do you compare the importance between the Geniza from Cairo and the Yamameza explorer?
Both finds are extremely important; however, the Cairo Geniza has a greater impact on the academic study of history due to its larger size.
The Cairo Geniza
Q: How many of the 400,000 were really significant?
