Aliya Summary: This Aliya
recounts the story of creation in six days. On the first day G‑d made
darkness and light. On the second day He formed the heavens, dividing
the "upper waters" from the "lower waters." On the third day He set the
boundaries of land and sea and called forth trees and greenery from the
earth. On the fourth day He fixed the position of the sun, moon and
stars. Fish, birds and reptiles were created on the fifth day;
land-animals, and then the human being, Adam, on the sixth. G‑d ceased
work on the seventh day, and sanctified it as a day of rest.
