In His Mercy

Each year, on Yom Kippur, fast days, and the days leading up to the High Holy Days, Jews around the world recite the Thirteen Midot: 'HaShem, HaShem, El Rahum veHanun, Erekh Apayim, veRav Hesed veEmet, Notzer Hesed laAlafim, Noseh Avon vaFesha veHata'a veNakeh.' This book examines the Thirteen Midot through the lenses of the Talmud, the Midrash and major commentaries. It offers an insightful introduction and a concise essay on each Mida. Based on a series of lectures given over twenty years by a leading scholar at Israel's Yeshivat Har Etzion, In His Mercy is a special work that will bring new meaning to your tefillot.
