These prayers appeal to God\u2019s compassion and often include the recitation of \u201cshelosh esrei middot rachamim,\u201d that is, the thirteen attributes of God\u2019s mercy (Exod. 34:6-7). The thirteen attributes reveal the inner meaning of God\u2019s Name YHVH (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) disclosed to Moses after the people had committed the dreadful sin of the worshiping the golden calf (\u05e2\u05d2\u05dc \u05d6\u05d4\u05d1) at Sinai. God is not only our Judge and Lawgiver (Elohim), but our Savior and our Healer (Moshia). In his great mercy He restores what we have broken; He overcomes our judgment by means of his abounding love given to us in Yeshua (Psalm 85:10). We therefore appeal to YHVH as the Source of Compassion, the \u201cbreath of life\u201d (\u05e0\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05ea \u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd) that was imparted to Adam on the day he was first created (Gen. 2:7).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Torah teaches that the Name of the LORD (\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4) means both ehyeh (\u05d0\u05b6\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4) \u201cPresence\u201d and <em>rachum ve\u2019chanun<\/em> (\u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05d5\u05bc\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05df), \u201cMercy and Grace\u201d (Exod. 3:14; 34:6-7). Yeshua said, \u201cI go to prepare a place for you,\u201d which means that his presence and love are waiting for you in whatever lies ahead (Rom. 8:35-39). We live and move and have our being in God\u2019s love. To worry is \u201cpracticing the absence\u201d of God instead of practicing His Presence&#8230; Trust the word of the Holy Spirit: \u201cFor I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for healing peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jer. 29:11).<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1232\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/exod34-6-analysis.gif?resize=559%2C537&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"537\" \/><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1230-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/exod34-6-jjp.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/exod34-6-jjp.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/exod34-6-jjp.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Rosh Hashanah is known as the \u201cDay of Judgment\u201d (i.e., yom ha\u2019din: \u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05d4\u05d3\u05d9\u05df), it is customary to offer additional prayers of supplication (selichot) before the advent of the holiday.
