[Avodah] "bo bayom"

[Rich, Joel]

In Y'mei Zicharon, p.11, in the course of a discussion of the fact that
every person has a mission in life, RYBS writes (my free
translation):


"RAY Hakohen Kook would explain the words " Elokai  ad shelo notzarti"
as follows: My God, before I was created "eini k'dai" - in countless
periods of time, in which I did not live, I could not have fulfilled my
mission in this world. You therefore waited to create me until the
generation arrived in which I would be granted the possibility to act as
Your agent in this world."
