In the Beginning
בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ
Day One by Malla Carl
Today, Thursday 25 September 2008, is 25 Elul, Yom 'Echad!
It is the 1st day of creation, on which The Almighty created existence, time, matter, darkness and light.
Rosh Hashana, which in Hebrew, means, literally, "head of the year" or "first of the year," is commonly known as the Jewish New Year. It is the day on which we mark "the beginning of Your works," and is actually the 6th day of creation. On this day, the world attained the potential for the realization of its purpose, with the creation of the first man and woman, Adam and Eve.
Rosh Hashana is therefore the day from which the Jewish calendar begins to count the years of history; the 1st day of creation thus occurred on the 25th of Elul of what is termed -1 from creation.
L'Shana Toba Tikatebu.
