Chesed

Loving-kindness — anatomical right shoulder

Chesed — the sefirah of expansive, unconditional giving. Identified with Abraham in the patriarchal scheme and with the right arm of Adam Kadmon, it is the impulse that pours without measure. Without restraint it would dissolve all distinctions; therefore the Tree pairs it with Gevurah on the opposite arm. The Lurianic imagery of the broken vessels (shevirat ha-kelim) attributes the catastrophe partly to Chesed-without-Gevurah — pure giving with no vessel to receive.
