The Depth of Hashem’s Mercy

Rav Kalatsky explores the deeper meaning of the second bracha of the Amida, focusing on Hashem’s power, Chesed, and the extraordinary mercy required for techiyas hameisim. He examines why Hashem’s kindness extends beyond sustaining life, showing how His concern encompasses even the possessions and circumstances of the Jewish people. The shiur also develops the spiritual function of mitzvos, explaining how the negative commandments preserve the soul’s purity while the positive commandments advance a person spiritually.
