Posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Wed Mar 13 07:48:54 2013, in response to Re: Yesterday was supposed to be Rosh Hashanah, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Wed Mar 13 05:27:52 2013. Rosh Hashanah 8a explains, "For R. Zeira said [that Tishrei is considered the New Year for years in relation] to the seasons. And this [opinion of R. Zeira] is [in consonance with the view of] R. Eliezer, who said that the world was created in Tishrei." In fact, the rabbis focused particularly on the creation of human beings, without whose perceptive ability the physical creation would go unappreciated.I don't know if there is any Talmudic backup to this, but I once heard a drash that yom hashisi is the only day of creation with a definite article because it's a reference to "the 6th" of Sivan. |
