In Parshas Bo, Bnei Yisrael is charged with our first mitzvah the sanctification of the new moon. The Gemara in Succah tells us that the Jewish nation follows the lunar calendar and the secular nations follow the solar calendar. The Sfas Emes explains that there is an illusion to this fact which highlights a unique characteristic of the Jewish people. The most powerful nations of the world have only survived when the light was present for them and things are going relatively well. The Jewish nation, however, manages to survive even amidst darkness. When all looks grim, the moon still shines brightly. Thus we follow the lunar calendar. Good Shabbos!
