The Story of Creation

Hashem (God) made the whole world and this is how He did it.

In the beginning there was no world. No sun, no moon, no stars, no animals and no trees. There were no flowers and no people. There was only darkness.

Then Hashem said, “Let there be light” and He called the light day and the dark night. And He finished day one.

On day two He said, “Let there be sky and sea”. He looked at this creation and liked what He saw.

On day three He added land, trees and plants to the world.

Now He looked at the night and saw that it needed stars and a moon and the day needed a sun. So on day four He created the sun and moon and the stars.

Day five was the day He put fish in the sea and birds in the sky. What else do you think he put in the sea?

The sixth day He added animals to the earth. He now needed someone to enjoy all that He had made and so He created man and woman. Adam was the first man and Eve was the first woman.

Hashem had worked so hard and did not give up until the world was complete. On the seventh day He rested. He called this day SHABBAT and we still celebrate Shabbat each week.
