When it comes to God, it is not belief that matters but experience.
Where, in human life, does Judaism promise the possibility of
experiencing God? The Thirteen Attributes (Adonai, Adonai, el
rachum v'chanun), a small but critical prayer with which Yom Kippur
begins and ends, highlights the Jewish insistence that the God of
Jewish tradition is experienced through love. Of all prayers, this
one especially tackles head-on the way we encounter God and how
that encounter informs the purpose behind human life itself.
Through a series of lively introductions and commentaries, almost
forty contributors—men and women, scholars and rabbis, artists
and thinkers from all Jewish denominations and from around the
world—explain how finite human beings can know an infinite God.
They explore the history and significance of the attributes that
the Hebrew Bible ascribes to God—and how Jewish tradition refines
and recasts them as the best way also to understand human nature
and our search for meaning. Prayers of Awe: A multi-volume series
designed to explore the High Holy Day liturgy and enrich the
praying experience for everyone—whether experienced worshipers or
guests who encounter Jewish prayer for the very first time
