Daily Quote
G-d's words to Adam (Genesis 3:9), "Where are you?" is a perpetual call to every person, at all times. G-d calls out to each and every one of us every moment of the day: "Where are you in the world? You have been allotted a certain number of days, hours, and minutes in which to fulfill your mission in life. You have lived so many years and so many days -- Where are you? What have you accomplished?"
