Rosh Hashanah Big Book

The Rosh Hashanah is a very special day — it's the birthday of the world!

This beautifully illustrated book takes readers all the way back to the beginning of time and introduces them to Adam, the first human, on the day he was created.

When Adam stood up tall, the animals gathered around in awe, assuming he was their Creator. Adam then realized that he had a responsibility to teach the entire world that everything was created from only one Power.

Rosh Hashanah is a special time when we remember what Adam did. We commit to serve the One Creator and ask for blessings for the entire year. Each year, as we celebrate the world's birthday, we get a fresh start to fill our lives with meaning and purpose and to improve the world with goodness and kindness.
