Striving for perfection is an intentional commitment to mastering something that matters deeply to us. When we apply this approach to learning our prayers, we choose to become active participants in our services, our faith, and our community. As Rabbi Rafi Kaiserblueth regularly declares, "Judaism is not a spectator sport." Through this series, Rabbi Kaiserblueth guides us through the key prayers of our most significant festivals, demonstrating and explaining each prayer's meaning in a way that is accessible to everyone.

In the first season, Rabbi Kaiserblueth explores some of the soaring and sometimes challenging liturgy of the High Holy Days, and in this episode, he breaks down The Thirteen Attributes of Mercy and explores who we selectively quote from the Torah to appeal to God’s better side.
