“Chesed,” a Hebrew term meaning “lovingkindness,” is pronounced differently according to religious sources and linguistic rules. In the Hebrew Bible, it’s pronounced “khe-sed,” while some rabbinic texts use “khe-seyd.” Moses and Abraham exemplified chesed in their lives. Rebbe Nachman of Breslov emphasized its correct pronunciation for spiritual significance. Phonetically, “chesed” is pronounced with a guttural “kh” and a short “e” in Hebrew. Educational institutions like Yeshivat Har Etzion and the Jewish Theological Seminary guide students in pronouncing it accurately.
