You are here:  Experts > Religion/Spirituality > Kabbalah > Kabbalah > 13 petals -- 13 qualities of compassion

Topic: Kabbalah



Expert: Rabbi Ari Shishler
Date: 4/6/2008
Subject: 13 petals -- 13 qualities of compassion

Question
Please list the 13 qualities alluded to in the opening of the Zohar.  In terms of
red and white striping of the flower (D. Matt refers to the r. gallica versicolor),
do some qualities go with red, others with white?

I need this as soon as possible for a commission on which I am working.  
Thank you.

Answer
Hi Ellen

You can find a good explanation of the 13 attributes here: http://www.iyyun.com/holidays/RoshHashana/13attributes.html

Generally speaking, G-d's attribute of kindness is associated with the white petals and His elements of strict judgement with red.

Sincerely

Rabbi Shishler
