The
historical task of the Sanhedrin is to bring back the Judaism of the early prophets, of Yeshayahu, of Hoshea. Currently, the Datiyim imagine a return to the Judaism of the end of Bayit Sheni, and the Chilonim imagine nothing of this kind. Very few imagine a return to the Judaism of Bayit Rishon. But politically, we have already returned to the time of Bayit Rishon. Only religiously, we are still in the Galut. It is the task of Sanhedrin to take us out. If they grab the task, how good. But if not, salvation will come from a different place.
