Time is a gift from G-d, that we can channel and utilize to effect change and bring about renewal.

The holiday that grants us a second chance was the result of human initiative, to which G-d was “thrilled ” to respond in the affirmative. (Numbers 9:6) This holiday of human initiative and Divine affirmation lives today, and G-d is willing to take it just as far as we are: If we really want to take full advantage of this opportunity to effect real spiritual change in our lives, G-d will “bend the rules ” to facilitate our success.
