Kaph (כ or ך)

Kaph, the twenty-first path, connects Chesed and Netzach. It is the character "K".

Kaph is one of the seven double letters, which represent planets. The double letters are cardinal directions, the faces of the box that is space. Its attributions are:

Yetsiratic Attribution[2] Intelligence of Conciliation (desired and sought consciousness, Sekhel HaChafutz u'HaMevukash, שכל החפץ והמבוקש), because it receives the divine influence which flows into it from its benediction upon all and each existence.

The Ari and the Gra also teach that כ connects Chesed to Netzach.

Kaph is one of five characters that also has a "final" form — that is, a form of the letter that is used when it appears at the end of a word. The two forms have different enumerations, as shown above.

[1]כף, kaph, means the palm of the hand.
