TT4T#269 - The OTHER First Mitzvah - 1/8/17

We generally believe that the first mitzvah given to the Jewish people is the mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh, in Parshat Bo. This Ten discusses an alternative theory, that the first mitzvah given to the Jews was one that they almost certainly could not do right away and would take very long till actually performed. What was this mitzvah? Why would it be first? Take Ten to find out.
