Integrating chesed (חסד)—a Hebrew word meaning loving-kindness, compassion, or acts of goodness—into daily life can bring depth, connection, and purpose to your routine. Here are meaningful, actionable ways to do this:


1. Start the Day with Intention

Begin with a short reflection or prayer: “How can I bring kindness into the world today?”

Set a daily goal: “One act of chesed before lunch.”
