"The power of Chesed on the Tree of Life; the fourth emanation of Divine love, compassion and forgiveness. How transgressions and errors are interpreted as necessary actions for growth and spiritual development. Chesed approaches mistakes with loving kindness, preventing that the power of Gevurah does not drown us in feelings of shame and guilt often sabotaging our progress. Chesed knows that from a loving heart comes a loved home and offspring which will bless the world." - Mike Bais
