One of the focal points of the High-Holiday prayers is the recital of the “Thirteen Attributes of Mercy” revealed by G-d to Moshe as key to arousing divine mercy (Shemot 34:6-7).

This collection provides some background on the significance of the Yud Gimmel Midos HaRachamim and its mystical meaning.

Instead of repeating the Yud Gimmel Midos seven times, he only recites them three times, and has done so for over three decades.

This paper highlights all available original sources on the matter and allows the reader to draw his own conclusion.
