In preparation for the High Holy Days, Nachum welcomed Rabbi Ezra Bick to JM in the AM to discuss the new English edition of his fascinating book “In His Mercy – Understanding the Thirteen Midot .” Nachum and Rabbi Bick explored the book at length to help emphasize the importance of understanding this most important part of our upcoming prayers. “In His Mercy examines the Thirteen Midot and their philosophical underpinnings through the lenses of the Talmud, the Midrash and major commentaries. It offers an insightful introduction, and concise, illuminating essays on each Mida. Based on a series of lectures given over twenty years by Rabbi Ezra Bick, a leading scholar at Israel’s Yeshivat Har Etzion, In His Mercy is the first English edition of this special work.”
