Kaf - 11th Hebrew letter
Looks like a PALM of a HAND.
Is a picture of a curved hand as in blessing that you met above [כ].
We bless children with palms facing them.
We envision God as having His palms over us.
Together with Christ we have the new beginning (CHET) and the Grace of God.
Keter (Hebrew : כֶּתֶר , keṯer "crown")
Four crowns given to the Jewish people:
Keter Torah - Crown of Torah
Keter Kehuna - Crown of the Priesthood
Keter Malkhut - Crown of the Kingdom
Keter Shem Tov - Crown of a good name
Without the crown we only have our own head knowledge.
Desire of a human's heart is stronger.
Three of the ten levels reside in the dimension of the intellect — WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, and KNOWLEDGE.
We fulfill God's desire and in so doing we give Him pleasure.
Like the crown, Torah’s ultimate purpose is to go beyond the head, beyond the intellect, and propel us to act in accordance with God’s will, thus refining us as people and completing God’s purpose in Creation.
Our eternity reward is waiting for us in Heaven.
We have a crown that last for eternity.
Five crowns that are identified in New Testament:
Crown of LIFE - James 1:12 & Revelation 2:10
Crown of GLORY - 1 Peter 5:4
Crown of REJOICING - 1 Thessalonians 2:19
Crown of RIGHTEOUSNESS - 2 Timothy 4:8
Crown INCORRUPTIBLE - 1 Corinthians 9:25
Crown of life - Awarded for enduring the trials and tribulations
Crown of righteousness - Given to those who anticipate the coming of our Lord by living righteous lives before Him.
Crown incorruptible: A picture of eternal life
Crown of glory: Given to those who faithfully shepherd God's people.
Crown of rejoicing: Glory and joy
Keep on believing that God will do what He said.
We live out what God has already given to us which is the righteousness of God.
Continue to live righteous according to our new nature.
Crown of Thorns:
Only Jesus that is worthy to wear as He offered Himself up for our sins.
The Lord Jesus is the One who possesses all the crowns of Israel and the Church.
CROWN HIM with many CROWNS!
Kaf pictures the palms of the hands, we will moreover resemble Jesus in our work and our sacrifice for others.
Letter Kaf rejoices in completion, redemption and transformation.
Kaf:
Think of the way through won by Jesus
Think of submission to the King of Kings
Think of the Crown of Life
Think of the extraordinary Significance of seemingly ordinary events of our lives.
