The 13 attributes of Mercy

• (The Yom Kippur prayers)

Yom Kippur

• G-D has His own set times and seasons. (People
  tend to ignore the 1st half of the Greatest
  Commandment Mark 1229)
• Yom Kippur is a time of personal and national
  repentance as we enter the New Year on G-Ds
  calendar. (Lev. 23). It was observed by the
  Church even after the resurrection of Jesus (Acts
  279).
• The book of Hebrews tells us that Jesus is the
  final sacrifice, but NOT that Yom Kippur is done
  away with (just like the Sabbath and the
  Passover)!

Psalm 95

• 7 for He is our G-d and we are the people of His
  pasture, the flock under His care. Today, if you
  hear His voice,
•  8 do not harden your hearts as you did at
  Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the
  desert,
•  9 where your fathers tested and tried Me,
         though they had seen what I did.
•  10 For forty years I was angry with that
  generation I said, "They are a people whose
  hearts go astray, and they have not known My
  ways."
•  11 So I declared on oath in My anger,       
  "They shall never enter My rest. (Sabbath)

Slichot

• The slichot prayers (the prayers of repentance)

Exodus 34

• 4 So Moshe chiseled out two stone tablets like
  the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in
  the morning, as the L-RD had commanded him and
  he carried the two stone tablets in his hands. 5
  Then the L-RD came down in the cloud and stood
  there with him and proclaimed his name, ????. 6
  And he passed in front of Moshe, proclaiming,
  ???? , ???? , G-d the compassionate and
  gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and
  faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to a thousand
  generations, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion
  and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty
  unpunished he punishes the children and their
  children for the sin of the fathers to the third
  and fourth generation."
