G-d KNEW they would complain... DSH #61

and welcome to today's daily mitzvah. Today we have positive mitzvah number 153 to witness when the moon is born again and to mark the beginning of the month and this sets the whole uh schedule for the whole year for the whole month and therefore the whole year. And notable to point out that this is the first mitzvah that the Jewish people were commanded and rashi in the very first rash on says really the tit should have started from this month shall be to you the mitzvah to set the months to set the calendar but because there would come a time when the nations of the world would say to the Jewish people the land of Israel does not belong to you. You are thieves. Therefore, Hashem started the besim. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Let it be known that he created everything that exists and he owns everything and he can take it from whoever he wants and give it to whomever he wants and he took it from the people who lived there and gave it to the Jewish people and that's why starts from there instead of from where it really should have started. See you tomorrow.
