‘Kuf’ is composed of two elements: one higher and one lower.   The higher one seems to represent the sky, while the lower one reminds us of a humble praying person.    The letter Kof alludes to the word ‘keddushah’, holiness.    The Torah tells us:    ‘Holy shall you be because I am holy‘.    Man’s holiness is a reflection of God’s absolute sanctity and purity.    To raise his status to keddushah, holiness, man must conform to His commandments.
