khah-DAHSH
Chadash means new, fresh, renewed. It describes God making a new thing, renewing the heart, and the mercies that are new every morning.
The prophets promised a chadash covenant and a chadash heart. Renewal in Scripture is not novelty for its own sake; it is God restoring and remaking what was broken.
"They are new (chadash) every morning; great is your faithfulness."
— Lamentations 3:23
"And I will give you a new (chadash) heart, and a new spirit I will put within you."
— Ezekiel 36:26
"Behold, I am doing a new (chadash) thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?"
— Isaiah 43:19
Institutionalize the change you have fought for. Build sustainable systems and rhythms of continuous improvement so that renewal lasts beyond a moment of inspiration.

Chadash is the renewal phase of organizational transformation — where transformed organizations institutionalize change through sustainable systems and continuous improvement.
