As part of our primary duty nowadays to bring the Final Redemption by conditioning ourselves and those around us to the imminent state of redemption, we should strengthen and increase the widespread study of Mishneh Torah.
This requires participating in the public study cycles, as well as increasing dedication to our personal studies.
One study for all brings Redemption: The final Redemption is brought closer and eventually realized through all Jewish communities participating in the daily study cycles of Rambam. Such participation is a profound expression of Jewish unity, especially as the Sefer HaMitzvos cycle that follows the Mishneh Torah cycle day by day makes participation in this universal study readily available to women and children as well—our campaign literally embraces the entire Jewish nation. Such a sustained display of Jewish unity will undo the cause of our exile (extreme divisiveness between Jews). Moreover, the nation is uniting specifically to study the laws of the Torah, fulfilling our Sages’ criteria for Redemption—“The exiles will be ingathered specifically in merit of studying Mishnayos,” i.e., the systematically detailed laws of the Torah.
Studying the future: Prominent among the virtues of studying Mishneh Torah is that it enables us to study the entire body of Torah laws—not only those laws that are applicable in the current era, but also the vast body of laws that were relevant during the Temple Eras. Further, Rambam included the laws that will be applicable during the era of the final Redemption. Indeed, in order to prepare for that time, we need to study the details surrounding the Beis HaMikdash—how to build it, how to participate in its service, and so on.
