We often think that looking forward to Moshiach, while unnecessary, is certainly praiseworthy, something that only very righteous people do. But when we dig deeply into Chazal, we see there is much more involved. Reflecting upon Yetzias Mitzraim, we find that longing for Geula had practical consequences for everyone. But it doesn't stop there. As you will hear, the fruits of longing for the Geula are immeasurable and available to you today!

The Ramban explains that Yitzias Mitzraim, not Brias HaOlam, is the foundation of our Emunah. Why? Because at the core of our Emunah is absorbing the experience of Hashem's Nisim and His unbridled love for us.
This is why failing to bring the Korban Pesach carries such a stringent punishment. Even generations later, Jews must continue to disconnect from the experience of living in Mitzraim and the impact that it imprinted on our souls.
It is for this reason that Rosh Chodesh, the beginning of the calculation as to when to bring the Korban Pesach and Yom Tov, is so essential. There is even a presumption that the Torah should have begun with this mitzvah!
However, when we think deeper into it, the aforementioned reason no longer seems sufficient. There are so many other mitzvahs such as Shabbos, Limud haTorah, Ahavas Hashem, and the list goes on, that would seem to merit the unique distinction of beginning the Torah instead of the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh.
To answer this question, perhaps we need to find out what Rosh Chodesh is really about. And when we do that, we may be surprised to discover a completely different way to understand this mitzvah, and a fundamental truth that is at the center of every Jew's life!

In doing so, Yosef taught his brothers a critical principle in hashgacha that also has vast ramifications for our lives.
