Parashat Yom Rishon shel rosh HaShanah Genesis 1:1-2:3

Parashat Yom Rishon shel rosh HaShanah is a special parashat read for Rosh HaShanah to commemorate the beginning of a new year. In the beginning the earth was unformed, and there was only darkness. Then God commanded, “Let there be light,” and saw how good it was. Then God separated between the light, which was named “Day,” and the darkness, which was called “Night.” That was the first day of creation. On the second day Sky was created. On the third day Earth and Seas were formed, along with plants and trees of every kind. And God saw how good it was. On the fourth day the sun, moon, and stars were set in the sky to separate between day and night. And God saw how it, too, was good. On the fifth day God brought forth birds out of the waters to fly, and creeping creatures of every kind, and swarms of fish and sea animals to

swim in the seas. And God saw how good it was and ordered them to be “fruitful and increase.” On the sixth day Go created all the beasts of the earth. Seeing it was good, God then decided to create human beings. God said: “I will make Adam in My image, after My likeness.” God created male and female human beings and commanded them to “rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the cattle, the whole earth.” God also blessed them and told them to “be fruitful and increase.” And God saw that it was very good. When heaven and earth were finished, God rested and declared that the seventh day of each week should be set aside as a Sabbath, a day of rest. God blessed the Sabbath and called it kodesh, which means “holy” or “unique.” S WEEK AT TEMPLE ISRAEL
