One of the Mussar terms for gratitude is hakarat ha-tov הכרת הטוב , literally “noticing/recognizing the good.” When we are sensitive enough to notice that a good deed has been done on our behalf, we will — ideally — store that memory, come to understand that we are part of a greater web of care and concern, and in response, pay the favor forward. In that way, memory, a sense of gratitude, and loving-kindness become interconnected middot. Join us to explore this important middah.
