Hence, many responsas are written by rabbis to answer certain legalistic questions.<div>With that in mind, God dictated the "teshuvot" (Torah) to Moses which he wrote down. God gave the answer and we asked the questions.</div><div>Now on Yom Kippur, it is in reverse. God asks the questions and we give the "teshuvot" the answers. If we give the correct answer, then we</div><div>have done our "teshuva." May our "teshuvot" address all of God's questions.</div><div><br></div><div>I read an interesting metaphor for the game "Hide And Seek". We play Hide and Seek with God. All year God hides from many of us but at this</div><div>most sacred season, if we "Seek" Him, He maybe found. </div><div><i>"Dirshu HaShem B'himatz'o k'ra'uhu bih'yoto karov" Seek ye the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. </i>Isaiah 55:6</div><div><br></div><div>rw</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
