Creation” and not, “Today is the beginning of man,” since Rosh (Devarim 27:2-3)
Hashanah is the day when man was created? It is because everything was
made for the sake of man. How awesome is man’s responsibility to uphold
the world!

Why does the pasuk state “all of you” and then delineate all the sections
of people? Moshe wanted to teach the people that although they are
comprised of various classes, they must respect one another and feel
mutual accountability.
On Rosh Hashanah, Hashem judges all of His children, tzaddikim and
resha’im alike. This is unlike a human court, wherein only the accused are
judged. This indicates how all-encompassing the level of mutual
responsibility among our people is. At times, tzaddikim are punished for
the sins of the wicked. Furthermore, as long as a person lives, he is liable
to sin. He should never trust himself, but constantly be on the lookout for
the Yetzer Hara.
