Rosh Hashanah is fixed on the day of man's creation because man's distinction is not merely that he is a higher creature, but that he recognizes the Creator and brings all Creation to recognize His sovereignty. Free choice can lead man and his surroundings either toward fulfillment or destruction, while limited human reason alone cannot determine the right path; the Torah reveals his inner faith and guides his daily life. Every person must therefore recognize his far-reaching power, submit himself to G-d's kingship, and help bring his surroundings to the purpose of Creation.
