query: What is the potential impact of the re-establishment of semicha on the speeding up of redemption, according to the debate between Rabbi Yakov Beirav and the Ralbach?
answer: According to Rabbi Yakov Beirav, re-establishing semicha is not interfering with the process of redemption; it's fulfilling a positive mitzvah.  The Ralbach, however, objected that it would speed up redemption, which is not permitted.
