Elul 12/August 18, 2013—
Rabbi Eliezer said: “Repent one day before your death.” His disciples asked: “Does anyone know on what day he will die?” “All the more reason to repent today,” answered the Rabbi, “in case you die tomorrow. Thus a person’s whole life should be spent in repentance.”
(Talmud, Shabbat 153a)
For reflection: How can you achieve balance, seeking to live each day to the fullest?
