Thank you
“… Because His kindness endures forever!” (Tehillim, 136).
According to the Talmud (Psachim, 118a), the 26 verses of this song correspond to the 26 generations between the creation of the world and the giving of the Torah. The gematria of haShem’s name of mercy also equals 26. And this is the message: until the Torah and the commandments were granted, the only thing that made the world exist was the mercy of the Creator.
