ר’ ישמעאל אומר Class Nine. This class discusses the idea of the 13 Middos of learning Torah and how they are related (or not related) to the 13 Middos of Mercy that we daven with. The RaMaK and the AriZal both explain this case of 13 Middos on a level of השתלשלות. The first to speak of these 13 Middos as being similar and parallel to the י”ג מדות הרחמים is the מגיד ממעזריטש. It is from him that the Previous Rebbe builds his classic case in the מאמר י”ב תמוז ה’תרפ”ח which is entitled עשרה שיושבים ועוסקים בתורה. In Torah also, ten brings a super power to create new levels and depths. The added height of תורה שבעל פה over תורה שבכתב.
