Reb David’s note

It was quite a trick to classify and assign titular descriptions to the 13 qualities of mercy, an awesome and ubiquitous prayer on the High Holydays which I never felt I quite understood. I began to include a Sefirah association to each quality but didn't include it when realized how variable it was, that there was no convincing, conclusive feeling- that many Sefirot could be read into any quality, so I left it out, pending further discussion with Reb Zalman.
