"The Lord is close to all who call upon Him, to all who call in truth." (Psalm 145:18)

Kuf is the combination of the letters “kaf” and “vav.” These individual parts play opposing roles, representing the duality of human inclination. The kuf portion remains on the baseline, but the vav partially plunges below the other letters, which symbolizes one’s pursuit of unholiness. The kaf shape from above is responsible for keeping the vav from descending completely.

Temptation and negative inclinations are always present in our world. This is exemplified in the Hebrew word for “monkey,” which is “kuf.” Monkeys, as we know, act on impulse without consideration for long-term effects, tendencies that mankind should guard against.
