Why does the Torah start with Breishis when there are practically no mitzvos there? (according to the sefer maasei Hashem it could have been included as an answer to the chacham in the haggadah) but it says
דרך ארץ קדמה לתורה the teaching of proper behavior must come first and
ראשית חכמה יראת ה, the first wisdom must be the fear of G-d.
